MS in Environmental Sciences - Batch of 2025

4.0

Be fully prepared before joining, as professors expect you to be more independent.

Tips: I had a great time here and that's largely because I was mentally prepared and came with a decent scholarship. Otherwise expenses can really add up. The people here are individualistic, and professors expect you to be more independent, which was something I struggled with. I recommend being open to collaborations and projects as they stand out more than your GPA.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration):

UMass is a fun university

Tips: I think students should know how to communicate because it's the most important thing that I came across. I didn't know anything about scholarships but Shiksha helped me with that. On a scale 1 to 10, I'll rate 8 for the university, course and country I'll rate 6 because of their health care system.

Likes (Indian Food): There are several Indian restaurants in Boston. But I prefer cooking at home as it is healthy and pocket-friendly. There are lots of Indian grocery stores, where we mostly get all the Indian vegetables as most vegetarian students that I know have no issue finding the food/vegetarian food they like.

Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Few of the professors are not from United States, therefore it becomes difficult to understand their accents. Otherwise, their experience in the particular field is what a student gets the most help from. We have post discussion every week, an assignment exam every 2 weeks, then weekly presentations and group presentations. And a mid term and final exam.

It is just fine, not worth the amount of money I am paying. But just okay.

Tips: I have had a massive change in my personality. There is not a big cultural shift as all the masters' students are Indians, so you feel at home and don’t rely on getting international exposure a lot until you meet different people. I got a total of 4k off my tuition in terms of scholarship. Overall, the college and course is just fine.

Likes (Internships): Internships are not a lot, you can always make connections and talk to career services. You can also talk to alumni or your professors. There is, but there is a lot of fight seeing how bad the market is right now and how competitive the market is. All you can do is keep applying.

Dislikes (Indian Food): I usually go with what is the cheapest. Usually Uber eats have a lot deals on a daily basis where you can get buy1 get 1 and I am a non vegetarian so I have a lot of options for myself. For vegetarians, you might have options, but it would be less. Usually cooking by myself, but sometimes you can cheat

The city is expensive but student-friendly.

Tips: You'll have a great time here so don't be nervous. Make the most of your time here attend classes to truly learn and pursue any extracurricular activities that interest you. While Boston is an expensive city it's also very student friendly. People are friendly and they love to socialise a lot. Try to be friendly and connect with people. I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

Overwhelming but worthwhile.

Tips: Everything here moves at a fast pace, and the feeling of the East Coast is entirely different from the West Coast. It is a very popular city to pursue higher education, so you'll find students from all colleges. The cost of living is very high, and that is mainly because of the ren,t so keep that in mind.
