Northeastern - an above average college.
Tips: Boston is great for building and fostering relationships with companies, but on-campus jobs are scarce because Northeastern University has a small campus in the city. It might take nearly a whole semester before you find an on-campus job. Even then, it will be tough to get enough hours to make ends meet. All the faculty are amazing and most of them have several years of experience in their industry. So my professors for deterministic operations research, probability and statistics, and supply chain engineering all had several years of experience and were still working. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Boston has a lot to offer as future prospects to those interested in setting here. If I wanted to, setting here is independent of the college I go to and is more related to my job, which category of visa it suffices. I would personally not like to settled here permanent.

The student hub for the grad students.
Tips: The students should know many basic terms in every field as they play a significant role in the day-to-day life of students here. The first is cooking, which every graduate must know. Second, please claim the Indian driving license, which is valid here. The country is very safe unless you try something wrong. There's a job search portal where companies directly hire Northeastern students, and this portal is also used for internship purposes. Companies typically pay $25/hr for interns, who usually work 40 hrs/wk. Overall, I am highly satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Indian Food): As we come from the Asian continent, and specifically there are many Indians settled here who have hotel chains that provide all types of food options. However, I prefer cooking by myself as food is expensive outside. One should eat outside food once a week so that the monthly expenditure is settled.

3.1
Northeastern University has good faculty and curriculum.
Tips: Students should know that they will have to study to get good grades as grades are important to get an internship or a coop. This is beneficial for your full-time offer. The living expenses are high compared to other cities and the fees are also a bit on the expensive side. College life is great because there are a lot of Indian students and the food options are great too. The campus is great with quite a lot of facilities and amenities. Overall, I am satisfied with my experience.
Likes (Public transportation): The city is well connected and has a lot of public transport options going in and out of the city. The MBTA is quite efficient with the timings and all the transport has really good connectivity throughout the city. The tram and bus are good options for people with accessibility.
Dislikes (Part time work): The on-campus jobs are very less in number due to the city being around the whole campus. The number of students coming in at Northeastern is high as this causes a difference in the supply and demand and hence there is a lack of part-time jobs on the campus.

Expensive and saturated but you can make it worth your time.
Tips: You should start networking with peers and professors even before landing here in the US. If you are planning to pursue internships, make sure you start applying early and get your profile ready beforehand. Talk to your advisor, decide on the courses and prepare a course plan in general, try to maintain your GPA. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transport in Boston is really good with great connectivity throughout the city. They have different train lines covering different areas and bus routes with good connectivity throughout, if you get a monthly youth pass you will end up saving a lot.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are very few good Indian restaurants and the only way to get Indian groceries is online as the nearest Indian grocery store is far away especially when you don't have a vehicle. The local shops are expensive and I would suggest visiting them only in case of emergency.

A great place for learning and career growth.
Tips: Northeastern University is well known for its co-op programme, which provides hands-on work experience alongside studies. The academic workload is demanding, so good time management is essential. Boston is a great city for students, offering career opportunities but also being expensive, so financial planning is important. The campus is diverse and welcoming, with many student organizations. However, Boston winters are harsh, so students should prepare for cold weather. Moving to Northeastern was an exciting challenge. The U.S. education system focuses more on practical learning, discussions, and projects rather than just exams. Professors expect students to be independent, which was a shift for me. Socially, networking is important, and while people are friendly, building connections requires effort. The work culture encourages internships and part-time jobs, which helped me become more confident and independent. I received a merit-based scholarship, which helped reduce tuition cost. Northeastern offers various scholarships based on academic performance and financial need. The application required strong academic records, a personal statement, and recommendation letters. Apart from scholarships, students can also explore on-campus jobs and external funding options. I am highly satisfied with Northeastern, as it offers strong career support, industry connections, and flexible coursework. The U.S. provides global exposure and networking opportunities, but managing expenses and adapting to the fast-paced lifestyle takes effort. Overall, Northeastern is an excellent choice for students looking for career-focused education and real-world experience.
Likes (Safety): The university has strong security measures in place, making it a safe environment for students. The presence of 24/7 campus security, well-lit pathways, surveillance cameras, and controlled building access ensures that students feel secure at all times. Emergency call stations are strategically placed throughout the campus, allowing for quick access to help if needed. Additionally, the university provides late-night transportation services, reducing the risk associated with traveling alone. Safety awareness programs, self-defense workshops, and regular drills further enhance preparedness among students. Beyond campus security, the university also prioritizes student well-being through health and counseling services, ensuring that both physical and mental safety are addressed. Real-time safety alerts through mobile apps keep students informed of any potential risk, making it easy to stay cautious. My personal experience in the city has been mostly positive, as the local law enforcement is proactive, and public areas are generally safe. I have felt comfortable walking around both during the day and at night, especially in well-populated areas. However, like any city, there are certain neighborhoods where extra caution is required. The university provides guidance on such areas and advises students on safety measures when exploring beyond the campus. While I have not encountered any major safety concerns personally, I have heard of occasional incidents like petty theft in crowded places, which is common in any urban area. However, by following general safety precautions, such as avoiding isolated areas at night and keeping valuables secure, students can easily navigate the city without issues.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): While professors are highly knowledgeable and experienced, their teaching style varies. Some are engaging and supportive, while others rely heavily on independent learning, making it challenging for students who need more guidance. Faculty accessibility depends on the professors. Some are approachable and offer regular office hours, while others have limited availability. The university provides extra support through teaching assistants and advisors to help bridge this gap. A unique aspect of teaching at Northeastern is its experiential learning approach. Courses focus on real-world applications, case studies, and project-based learning, enhanced by the co-op programme, which provides hands-on industry experience. Many professors also use technology-driven methods to make learning more interactive. The faculty is diverse, with professors from various countries bringing global perspectives to education. However, increasing representation from underrepresented regions could further enhance the learning experience.

Northeastern university is average but the student life is fun.
Tips: Northeastern University is a good choice for some. The student life is good and public transportation is accessible. However, the school has too many international students. The international student population makes it difficult for international students to get a part-time, an internship, or a full-time job. Boston is an expensive place to live so I wouldn't suggest this school if you need to find a part-time job to help cover living expenses. Overall, this is just an average school.
