- BU supports diversity and inclusivity. There is a large International population which gives the opportunity to meet and interact with people from different culture and backgrounds.
- BU's campus is spread across charles river, so you get to roam around and attend classes in prestigious historic buildings.
- The academic programs are diverse and very well structured.
Dislikes
- It is way too expensive. The food, groceries etc and especially the utilities and rent is too much for a student
- The tuition is extremely expensive with challenging time constraint assignments
- There is less city life as it a part of college hub so people tend to face mental health issues - depression anxiety, loneliness due to academic pressure and harsh gloomy winters
Course Curriculum
8
- I believe the difficulty level varies from person to person. If someone is changing their field and has no prior experience or knowledge over the courses being taught, then it would be difficult for them, but with consistent efforts they can crack it Otherwise, I would say it was 7 on the scale of 10.
- The positive aspect would be that there were fewer theoretical courses and more emphasis was on projects and practical knowledge. The negative would be reaching out to the TA's for doubt resolution and the pressure to complete major assignments like GCP in imported time
Fees
- Courses per Semester: 3 courses (12 credits)
- Time to Degree: 3 semesters (12-16 months)
- Tuition per semester: $33,335 ; Fees per Semester: $478; Total Degree Cost: $75,486
- The fees were charged semester wise and the last semester was charged credit-wise.
- monthly expenses, including a breakdown of costs like rent (average $1000), transportation (100%), and utilities (approximate $250-$450).

- BU has plenty of On Campus job opportunities from Research Assistant to Teaching Assistant. The best part is other Dining part-time jobs are available only for International students.
- BU has a very huge campus with modern amenities. BU is famous for sports like Ice hockey, Football and several other sports including squash. Olympic-sized swimming pools in Agganis Arena. And of course a huge diversity at Commonwealth Avenue.
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.
- Boston University does not offer financial aid to international students, and you cannot work off Campus.
- BU conducts lectures even during nights and many a times you have attend lectures till 9:00 PM.
Course Curriculum
10
There are 40-credit requirements for a Master's in Computer science. As an Internal student, we have to take at least 3 subjects, which makes us enrolled as full-time students. One can also take more than 3 subjects. BU has lots of Advanced courses like Advanced Programming, Cyber Security, Enterprise Cyber Security, Machine Learning, and a lot more to meet the market need for skilled workers.
Fees
As I mentioned before BU does not offer any Financial Aid for international students and I decided to take a Loan and fund my education in the United States of America. I have availed a loan from HDFC Cedilla worth INR 78,00,000 with 11% interest. This covers my Tuition fee, Living expenses, Electronics etc. One also can search for summer internships and earn as a student or else work part-time or provide assistance to faculty research. There are plenty of options available to try out.

- I like the Part-time job at the campus system.
Dislikes

- Very safe city and campus + very diverse crowd
Dislikes
- Very very expensive tuition + cost of living too unaffordable + not the best career resources
Course Curriculum

Very biased curriculum assuming you want to do a PhD someday. Not given any industrial exposure. Was given a chance to work under PhD students for research.
Fees
$35,000 per semester excluding living expenses of any kind. (Not worth it for a non-Ivy school)

- The people are very accommodating and friendly, the academics are strong and the program is well-known and reputable.
Dislikes
- Low stipend, less freedom to take courses outside the university.
Course Curriculum

The course is strong and relevant. Some things are a bit outdated but probably necessary for an economist to be aware of. Industry exposure is limited but the department is encouraging of people to take non-academic roles.
Fees
No tuition fees. I have a stipend of about 30K a year. Tuition and health insurance are covered on top of the stipend.

- I really liked the city as it is safe and one of the biggest hubs in US. And the university was very well ranked especially for my program.
Course Curriculum

Since it is a relatively newer course there’s a lot of revamp that goes on constantly to ensure that it is up to date in terms of what technology/tools we learn.
Fees
It’s roughly $70,000.

- Course and curriculum is updated and the professors are very helpful. Most professors are part time and work in organizations during the day so some professors also refer you to their organizations. Also, we are close to MIT and Harvard and are allowed to attend their events which is a plus.
- I got 4 admits and out of those, BU’s curriculum was the best. Also, it was the highest reputed University out of my admits. My other admits were from UIC, SJSU, Santa Clara University and IIT Chicago.
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.

The course and curriculum is very updated and mew technologies are being taught including AI and Crypto.
Fees
The full course duration is 2 years (4 semesters excluding summer semester) but can be finished in 1.5 years (4 semesters including summer semester). The 2 year one would cost around 95k and the 1.5 year one would cost around 65k-70k.

I am in my first session so I don't know completely but if you do your work and schedule everything properly the courses are quite manageable.
Fees

The economics curriculum is good but the core requirements are insufficient, it's better to take higher-level classes to get a better grounding. Journalism is very well-ranked but academics are not the main focus, students are encouraged to do extracurriculars and get work experience to prepare them for professional life.
High ranking for selected fields, scholarship, and ideal location (diverse and urban environment).

The curriculum gives a wholesome knowledge of bioinformatics with skills and hands on practice. The TAs and faculties are very helpful.
BU as this had the best research labs and faculties in my field in USA
