Great faculty and a vibrant working environment.

Tips: The main transition, I think, was understanding the importance of communication and networking. I understood in my initial days that I can't survive if I don't come out of my comfort zone and communicate with people. I have a scholarship of 25000 dollars for my 2 years of study. It's just that the university was established recently, everyone was given this scholarship, but I can assure you that the standards of the college are above the mark of a recently established institution. 90% of our seniors got a co-op in our college. I am really satisfied with the MS AI programme on the Portland campus of Northeastern University.

Likes (Public transportation): We have well-connected free bus transportation to campus with our college ID cards. If we want to go to Boston, Concord Coachlines are available for 25-30 dollars. Therefore, my transportation costs are usually zero until I plan a trip to Boston for work.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There's only one Indian store, Masala Mahal, in Portland, and a bag costs around 40 dollars. We have to travel to Boston or Nashua to find Indian food. Initially, in Spring 2025, we couldn't find Indian products in nearby stores like Costco or Walmart because there wasn't much demand for them.

Great learning experience, academic support, and career opportunities.

Tips: Scholarships are available, and Boston is a lively city with many students. There are lots of career and growth opportunities. The transition was smooth, I didn't face any issues, and everyone was very supportive. The university has excellent co-op opportunities.

Likes (Value for money): The overall learning experience, academic support, and career opportunities justify the tuition fees. The curriculum is well-structured, and each course involves a final project, which helps students gain practical knowledge. Students have access to labs, research resources, career services, and more.

Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time work opportunities are limited and competitive. Securing a job often requires early application or networking. On average, expect 10-15 hours per week at around $15-$18 per hour if you secure an on-campus role. Off-campus work is not permitted in the United States.

Master of Science in Biotechnology - Batch of 2024

Offered by Northeastern University

3.1

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.

The college location is good and campus is quite huge.

Tips: There are many people and great opportunities, and I chose my desired course. There are scholarship opportunities in different departments, such as the College of Professional Studies, but I haven't seen them in other departments. Also, I understand that there are scholarships and opportunities to get into background scholarships, course enrollment, early scholarships, and different types. Overall, I am nearly satisfied with the university.

Likes (Part time work): I find it manageable to balance work and studies. While finding part-time work can be challenging initially, it is possible. There are fewer part-time options, but the advantage is the opportunity to find a co-op position. If you find a part-time position, it can lead to a co-op. You can successfully balance studies and part-time work if you are willing to commit and show interest.

Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The teaching faculty is diverse, and I was able to connect with many Indian professors, which made communication easy. Professors with experience in large tech companies provide excellent knowledge and offer incredible learning opportunities. The teaching method is primarily practical, and exams are conducted in different labs, unlike rote-learning-based assessments.

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.
