Worth every penny you spend.

Tips: The education system is gonna be totally different, be prepared for that and you will get used to it. Scholarship is automatically given if you are eligible after applying. It’s an interesting journey, I got to learn so many new things and different cultures.

Likes (Public transportation): The university is mostly the Centre of the accommodation students choose, which makes it very accessible to all kinds of transportation like the range lane, green lane and public buses. Usually it will cost not more than eight dollars per day for a round trip and if you live far away, it may go up to 15 dollars.

Dislikes (Part time work): There are a lot of on campus jobs but the competition is very high. 20hr max per week is the rule; it’s manageable. One can’t do beyond that so it can be managed 20 dollars/hour is average pay and it varies depending on the position; it can be less or more.

You will have to work very hard to find a job.

Tips: It's gonna be so hard to mentally be prepared to face any kind of challenge. You'll obviously feel homesick but make some good friends to overcome that feeling and your main priority should be academic. It's not like India here, you should learn on your own, so work hard if you wanna find a job.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): The US has the best market with high paying jobs. If you work hard and manage to find a job then it's perfect but the only problem is getting an H1B visa as Trump is a huge threat right now.

Dislikes (Part time work): In the US, you should not work outside the campus and it's considered illegal so you could also be deported. Only inside the campus, you should do part time so it's very hard to find one in such heavy competition. It's very hectic to manage part time and academics. There are lots of assignments and projects so it's better to focus on your studies instead of part time.

A globally engaging and career oriented experience at Northeastern University.

Tips: Students should know that Northeastern University offers a perfect balance between academics and hands on experience through its co-op programme. The coursework can be intense so time management is essential. The university has a diverse international community strong career services and excellent networking opportunities that truly prepare students for global careers.

Likes (Public transportation): I feel very safe both on and around the Northeastern University campus. The campus is well-lit there are security offices patrolling regularly, and the university has a strong safety culture. Even during late hours I've notice that the street near campus are busy with students which adds to the sense of security.

Dislikes (Part time work): While there are a few restaurants that serve food from my country the variety and authenticity are somewhat limited. The dishes are often adjusted to suits local taste and certain ingredients that make the cuisine special are hard to find.

Master of Science in Software Engineering Systems - Batch of 2026

Competitive and growth driven university.

Tips: I have transitioned a lot before coming here and there is a lot of cultural shift over here. I did not get a scholarship but I got an on campus job over here. After 2 semesters, I am not much satisfied with the university since it is really competitive.

Likes (Safety): Northeastern University Provides a Northeastern University Police Department called NUPD and also Provides a 2 mile radius shuttle called red every which takes care of the students safety I did not had any bad experience in this city Boston is really a good city to live in .

Dislikes (Post study jobs): A lot of companies offer H-1B status over here and it's really a good Work balance lifestyle over here compared to what the work balance is in India. There are a lot of job roles over here, like DevOps and SDE, data analytics and data engineering are dying due to AI.

Great job opportunities after graduation.

Tips: Start applying for on campus jobs before arriving, apply to scholarships wherever possible, as it doesn't hurt to try. If you are considering this university, I would highly recommend going to their Boston campus as they have better infrastructure and facilities at the same cost. This campus is great for people who have relatives staying in Seattle and want to stay with them.

Likes (Indian Food): Ample Indian restaurants in and around Seattle and there are many Indian grocery stores too around the university which give home delivery too if you don't have a car. There are many Indian temples around that provides meals on weekends. I usually cook at home as eating outside can be expensive.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): You can study here on F-1 visa and work on OPT for 3 years including STEM. Post OPT, you will need your H1-B to be picked to continue working in the US. Getting a green card and US citizenship can be time consuming and may take years. I would love to stay here for a long looking at the weather, quality of life, etc.
