MS in Computer Science - Batch of 2027
4.3
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.

MBA with MS in Civil Engineering - Batch of 2027
3.5
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.

MS in Data Analytics and Computational Social Science - Batch of 2024
3.7
There is an Indian student union and many events on campus. Try to participate in them.
Tips: I mainly chose to study here because of the affordability and strong faculty for my programme. Be ready for rough winters and get your winter essentials ready in time. The labs are well-equipped and huge, encouraging you to go all out. There is an Indian student union as well, and many other such cultural clubs on campus to be a part of.
Dislikes (Part time work): You are not really allowed to work part-time in a lot of places in the United States. Moreover, with my work schedule, it was really implausible to find time. You can look for roles within the campus, but that is also limited in scope and opportunities.

MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) - Batch of 2025
4.1
Great university in terms of research and it is really peaceful.
Tips: The transition to the University of Massachusetts Amherst was smooth academically, but there was a noticeable cultural shift socially. There are no scholarships at the University of Massachusetts Amherst at the master's level, but there are a few benefits like tuition waivers for Teaching Assistantships (TAs) or Research Assistantships (RAs) but not in courses like MS CS and MS B.A.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The professors are really good and focus on how well you have understood anything. They maintain regular office hours, and many are open to scheduling additional time if you have further questions or need guidance. The courses are designed to provide both theoretical and application-based knowledge. The university is well diverse.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are no Indian restaurants nearby. Most of the foods are of different cuisines. The university does have its own dining facilities, where good food is provided but the food is mostly not from my country of origin. If you are looking for good Indian food, you will have to go to Boston.

UMass is a better place to be researcher
Tips: The coursework would be tough, the place is bit remote. There is no TA/RA positions but plenty of on-campus jobs are available. Learn to balance everything together. Master's journey is not as easy as it seems in India and the education pattern is very different. Hence, one needs to break the stereotypes before pursuing this dream.
