Recently I found an internship cum Part-time opportunity at 'Saxby'. It's a dining service within the BU campus. I got to know about this opportunity from BU's JobX portal. There was a 15-minute phone interview to validate my candidature. My task is to collect the customer feedback. I really love this as I get lots and lots of opportunities to interact with a diverse group of people. I'm paid $16 per hour and can easily cover my living expenses in Boston City.

None. My university doesn’t help in this regard, but there are career fairs around campus, which is fairly okay.

I chose this university as this university is globally known and had a good academic curriculum. Professors are full-time professionals and part-time, helping us require an up to date practical knowledge.

No company visits (that happens only in business schools and that too not all). Median salary varies like crazy between $50,000 to $250,000

I applied to 8 schools, and got in 7 of them. I chose the top-ranked one out of the 7. Wanted to be on the East Coast because of my aspiration to work on Wall Street. Overall experience was average, I wish I had gone to a cheaper school.

Most people get good academic or industry jobs. We don't have campus placement but with a PhD in Economics, the options are pretty good. The university is right in Boston so it is also very common for people to have internships or jobs with professors at harvard or with big companies.

I chose this university as I was familiar with the city, the reputation of the program, the professors aligned with my interest, the people seemed nice, the stipend is livable (barely), and the proximity to other big economic departments (Harvard, MIT, NBER).

From what I have understood we can expect anywhere between $80K-100K. We have had pharma companies like Sanofi visit us and have had individuals from Citizen Bank and various other companies.

Overall I am having a great experience so far and one more thing I’d like to highlight is Boston University has a lot of opportunities for on-campus jobs so you can make some money to pay your rent and have some fun as well.

There were a lot of companies that came in career fairs like Epic health, Mass Brigham Hospital, Yahoo, Ebay and many more for SDE, Data analytics, Data science and other business roles. Median salary for a SDE role is around $100k.

I interned at Office Depot and worked as a Software Developer Intern. They paid me $40 per hour for remote work. I worked for 40 hours per week. LinkedIn helped me get the job. I would suggest everyone to start applying as soon as possible for internships.

Statistics show that around 90% of the students get placed within 3 months of graduation. So it is just based on how good you are at building social networks and getting contacts.

Haven’t applied yet.

Much depends on the individual student and program of study. In general, it is difficult for international students to study non-STEM programs in the US.

Did an unpaid internship through the university with a marketing agency.

Post study are either PhD or placement. Placement rate is 97% for my department and the 86% of overall BU. It is very reputed university with good alumni network.

BU as this had the best research labs and faculties in my field in USA

BU has a university-wide career fair, where students can bag a handsome average package of $100,000. A lot of great companies like Amazon, Oracle, Google, and other participates in University fair. Various startups also participate in this career fair. BU arranges so many workshops before any career fair for a student to give an idea of these career fairs. Student can opt for CPT (Curriculum Practical Training) or OPT (Optional Practical Training) after meeting the minimum requirement of 2 Full Semester(1 academic year).

No, not yet, There is a minimum requirement of 2 full semester, before any work eligibility.
