Northeastern University Engineering Courses

• I opted for off-campus accommodations.
• I found it with the help of a relative and different websites like apt-finder and willow.
• It was challenging to find an apartment because you cannot come and see what you're signing up for. You can always contact seniors and ask if they've got space in their house or if anyone has, they can tell you. WPI has an off-campus Facebook house hunt group as well.
• I would like to recommend students definitely find a walking distance house from WPI as it gets harsh in winters. And find a house with a good heater.
• My accommodations were a 7-10 minute walk from campus so it was pretty close. Most of the Indian students live in the same neighborhood.

• I found my accommodation Through an app called Yocket, from there I got links for some whatsapp groups.
• Monthly expenses include many things as listed below (per person) - Rent, electricity bill, water bill, WiFi bill, Laundry, groceries, Transportation. Everything in total would be around 1000 US dollars. So, this expense would be there for every month. 
• It was difficult to find vegetarians and the places were very bad with rats and cockroaches. Most people never used to reply.
• Mission Main is a very good place to stay, it is safe at night. Police and ambulance will be going around this area. It is very nearby University and also near to train station, grocery stores, and bus stand.
• I live in Mission main and it is 10 mins walk to the university. Most of the Indian students live in an apartment called Jvue.
   

• I found my accommodation on AirBnB.com and Craigslist. 
• I paid around 800$ for a single-bedroom, 4-room apartment. It included an attached bathroom.
• I found it challenging to get a fully furnished apartment and an apartment with reduced prices.
• I would certainly recommend checking Airbnb and probably reaching out to realtors one-on-one for apartments or even if you can shed an extra few dollars, please get yourself an on-campus accommodation. Do not solely rely on lessor advertising their property on Craigslist. Be extra cautious.
• It is not that far. It is like 3 miles away from the college campus.Indian students mostly stay in the vicinity of the campus for ease of commute.

I chose this university as their Internship program known as COOP was the most important factor and their ranking, also having good support for COOP will help me in searching for a full-time job. The College is not that great if you want a stable start as there is no on-campus job that you can get easily, everyone is Indian so no foreign exposure. Every Indian has their setting there so that's the only reason they have some on-campus job. Fees are high, too many issues in college administration. But one good thing is the coop search experience you have there you will grind very hard to get an internship which will make you job ready and they have good support for the intern but don't come with high hopes here as even the city is costly.

The university is in proper Boston City, with a strong Co-op/ Internship program. A decent college situated right in Boston city. Not a primary choice but a safe bet and will provide you with most of the facilities. The campus is very lively, with ample places to sit, work, and focus. The master's program (engineering/ CS major) has a large number of international students - mostly South Asians (around 75%). Courses are decent, too, with moderate difficulty. Scoring good grades is not at all difficult. Very less on-campus opportunities a few handful of dining jobs for students. Fees and Living expenses - rent and food would be on the higher side since the city is expensive overall.

SoP submitted. 3 lor submitted: 1. Hod, 2. Professor 3. Research paper professor I choose this University when software engineering tech job market was good and hiring of new grad was great. Currently its worst and nobody is hiring new grad students. I have mixed feelings for starters there are no on campus jobs on campus jobs is very hard to find here lots of Indian students and international students are trying to apply for on campus jobs and there are very less on campus jobs. as you don't have on campus job it becomes expensive and Boston itself is very expensive with skyrocketing rents and living expenses. On the other hand the university is good infrastructure good professors with deep knowledge and Boston is also a good place for finding jobs as it is hub for software and biotechnological companies lots of companies hire Northeastern students

My experience has been great. The university fosters inclusivity with numerous Indian clubs and events. While the overall curriculum was good, I expected more in terms of the technology taught and course selections. The campus life and supportive community have made my journey amazing.

Because of the professor experience and the city. Job aspects were better in Boston which was also one of my main requirements.
