The university is a bit on the expensive side but worth it.
Tips: Be prepared to apply mathematics. Every course in this university is mathematically heavy, and you will learn a lot as well. Mass Amherst does not provide any scholarships to master's students. But overall, the university is amazing for people who want to explore research and learn cutting-edge technologies.
Likes (Post study jobs): A lot of big tech companies do offer sponsor visas, and seniors in our college seem to be getting placed well. Our seniors have been placed in development roles like web development and cloud. Machine learning engineer roles are also available to students.
Dislikes (Part time work): Only dining jobs are available to graduation students, making it really convenient. Also, no research assistantship or teaching assistantship is available. Hourly positions are sometimes available in summer, but plan to have all finance already sorted.

Great campus and an eye-opening experience.
Tips: Don't be afraid of change and allow things to happen to you. That's my conclusion about studying abroad in general, especially here. Some programs here are seriously underrated, and I feel I've gained a more in-depth knowledge here than I would have anywhere else. The campus is great, and you'll feel safe here throughout.

Lot of growth in so limited time.
Tips: I have indeed seen a lot of growth and understanding develop in me after moving here. One of the crucial things Mass taught me was adaptability. Extra credit will help you stay afloat in some of the trickier courses, and there are plenty of culture-friendly options in the form of restaurants and communities, so you will always feel a sense of belonging here. Travelling within the city is convenient and affordable for students.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): There is barely any scope for actually finding a decent job after graduation here. Although some industries are open to hiring immigrants, that would be mainly in STEM fields, and it is becoming increasingly competitive by the day. Given a chance, I would love to live in this country after graduation.

An interesting sand meaningful experience.
Tips: I have transitioned well after coming here, and a lot of people back home can see the difference in my personality as well. The classes and coursework are intense, and you'll have to rely on yourself rather than expect too much spoon-feeding here. A lot of learning happens in group settings via projects and fieldwork.
Dislikes (Internships): With internships and jobs in general, a lot depends on your own network and ability to put yourself out there. There is not too much that the university involves itself with. What can help is striking a connection with professors and being active in classes and office hours.

Highly qualified faculty and a welcoming campus.
Tips: There has been a transition in various aspects of my life and personality. My courses in Mass have helped me in analysing things from various angles, which has improved my problem-solving skills and thinking ability. As my bachelor's was also in the USA, I would say life here has become quite familiar and comfortable for me. The downside is that if I don't get a job here within a certain time, I'll have to leave, and I haven't planned for that. Please keep your options in check before you commit and make the most of what you learn.
