- 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.
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.
- Likes:
- I like the Part-time job at the campus system.
- Dislikes:
- I do not like self-registering to the class system. If a class is full and I want it, I will fail to get it.
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.
- Likes:
- Very safe city and campus + very diverse crowd
- Dislikes:
- Very very expensive tuition + cost of living too unaffordable + not the best career resources
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.
- Likes:
- 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.
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).
- Likes:
- 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.
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.
- Likes:
- 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.
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.
High ranking for selected fields, scholarship, and ideal location (diverse and urban environment).
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.
