Dislikes:

  • Well, Boston University has its own Merchandise shop where you can buy Huddies, T-shirts, stationery, Planners, Books, electronics, and more, but it's quite expensive. null
  • Boston University does not offer financial aid to international students, and you cannot work off Campus. null
  • BU conducts lectures even during nights and many a times you have attend lectures till 9:00 PM. null

In a nutshell, the admission process consists of IELTS / GRE --> Wes Course Evaluation --> Application --> Results. Here my IELTS, undergrad grades and strong application were the key things for my selection to Boston University. I started quite early to build my strong research-oriented profile for my master's in computer science. I come from a Mechanical Engineering background and did my research in computer vision, Predictive maintenance and implementing computer vision Algorithms in the Manufacturing sector. I presented my 1st research paper at the IIT BHU international conference in 2023 and submitted 2 more papers in international journals. We designed and built a Hexapod Robot with an innovation to resist the impact, Got selected for the Gujarat Council of Science and Technology and filed a patent for the design. I also hold one more patent with my professor during my undergrad for designing a welding machine for micro-welding. I highlighted all these in my resume during my application.

Dislikes:

  • Campus is in the city. It has its pros as well like transportation is easy and there are a lot of off campus housing nearby. The only thing I dislike about the the university is that its very expensive. And as a city, Boston is expensive so off campus housing is also very expensive. null

It was a really good and different experience. At first I thought it was very stressful but then you start liking the life here. It is definitely an experience that everyone should have once in their lifetime.

BU is one of the top private university, and it offers a Computer science program in 2 colleges: The art and science department and Metropolitan College. The graduate art and science department offer a less flexible programme, whereas the metropolitan college provides a more flexible programme(i.e. classes are in the evening). Student can choose either while applying. Data Science Faculty is quite good, and most of the professor had working professional experience in the past.
