One of the top universities for CS field, good location, good coop and internship opportunities
Course Curriculum :
Course curriculum is decent and demanding. You will have to do work yourself to score good grades. Yes few subjects are designed to give a industrial view of things. You can opt to select research oriented courses if required.
Exams :
My scores: GRE 2019 - 152/170 Verbal 164/170 Quant 4 Writing; TOEFEL 2019 - 109/120
Placement :
Companies do not visit campus. You have to apply. But people get placed in companies like Dell, IBM, Amazon, Microsoft frequently.
Internship :
It is my first semester. Not eligible to do one.
Fees :
It is 1652 per credit. Total credits are 32. So you pay 32 X 1652 = 52684 USD plus some extra stuff like health plan, etc. You can consider it roughly 58k USD for entire course.
Scholarship :
No
Faculty :
Depends upon the subject. Few subjects have lectures in big halls with 90-100 students. Most of them are of 60-70 or lesser like 40-50. But there a lot of TAs, so the ratio for doubt solving, etc is quite good. Teachers and TAs are accessible during their office hours. Due to covid you need to connect via video call.
Campus Life :
There are a lot of clubs you can participate in. Extracurricular and sports facilities are certainly good if you are a sportsperson. Post Covid there are limited seats for events, so it's a bummer. Libraries and study spaces are worth the fees you are paying for. Research facilities are limited and mostly for PhD students in Computer Science.
Hostel :
Boston is expensive. For students coming from India, sharing is a more suitable option. Average cost of living per month is 850-900 which includes your rent, electricity, gas and food/grocery, and household expenses.
