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.

Satisfied with the university, excellent faculty.
Tips: Personally there was no cultural shock to me as I come from a similar type of hometown. There were no scholarships offered to me from the Northeastern University. Very much satisfied with the university however the course information systems could be better.

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.

My perspective is that it's too crowded
Tips: 1. The cultural fit is not challenging as all the students and most of the faculty for Masters are Indians. 2. As far as I know there are no scholarships. 3. Selecting courses and faculty and planning your day and semester is very crucial. Assignments while being heavy can be very beneficial if done independently.
Likes (Public transportation): Trains and buses are available in frequent intervals within proximity all over the city with 2$ minimum fare. Redeye is a free cab service available at the Boston campus from evening 6 to morning 6 within a range of 2 miles from the college library but heavy wait times.
Dislikes (Part time work): 1. Campus is overcrowded with students and there are very limited on-campus jobs. 2. Part-time are manageable and completely depend on the individual and workplace. 3. Average payout is 13-18$ RSO, TA, IA, RA, Marino, SquashBusters, Wollaston's, ITS are few part time jobs to look out for.

The best choice of my life.
Tips: Northeastern University is highly competitive, there are cultural shocks that you can encounter and different points. Scholarships at Northeastern University are hard to get but nevertheless, you can try to get one. I didn't get any scholarship. I am very happy with my choice and my courses at Northeastern University.
Likes (Value for money): The money is justified. As the courses are competitive and highly focused on domains. For every domain like cloud, data, and Front End. All the courses are taught by highly professional professors who have a lot of things to deliver and to learn from them is quite a thing.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are many companies available most of them being the MNCs. I don't have an exact idea about the job roles, salary and packages but the usual pay for a full-time job goes around 30 to 45 $ per hour. There are many roles like SDE, Data and UI/UX job prospectus.
