@MANJUL_TREHAN, or Northeastern (Boston campus)?

@MANJUL_TREHAN, please clarify which universities you’re referring to.

What is your net cost of attendance at each? Are the cost differences meaningful to you?

What sort of campus would your son prefer? (urban or rural)

How important is distance from an international airport?

What about weather?

Which school is better in terms or placements and internships.?

An international student will be very limited in the ability to get work and a work visa in the US, so placements and internships in countries where the student will be more able to get work will be important if this is a criterion.

Is one of the schools better known in your home country? If so, that may be a factor to consider.

[MYOS1634]

Northeastern (if that’s the university in question) has an advantage for an international in that co-ops are not deducted from OPT time. It means they can get significant applied experience&networking then develop their skills through OPT, unlike internships.

Send a private message to an admin (like me), or email admin@collegeconfidential.com to request a username change. Be sure to include what you would like it changed to. 4.
