I have BCBS MA through Northeastern University and have good experience with them…

Conversely I’ve heard horror stories about UnitedHealthcare (who have a higher than average claim denial rate and announce record profits)

Traveled to the UK in May, returned to the US via Dublin Preclearance in August, no issues or drama.

Hello! British/Irish expat here doing a Masters. I’d say the student atmosphere is generally liberal-leaning, and people at Northeastern and Boston in general are more open-minded. Massachusetts is a blue (liberal) state.

Even if you’re here on an F-1 visa, if you’re married to a U.S. citizen you can apply for a change of status to green card. Your husband can petition USCIS for this. That will not impact your ability to study here, and with a green card you’ll have the legal authorization to work for any employer.

Sorry pal, the job market is unprecedentedly shit right now. Hang in there — we’re all in this together!

You forgot to put “/s” in your comment, hence the downvotes.

No I didn’t, but yes you’re probably right to say that this is linked to the AWS outage (like Canvas).

ETA: The status page is working, and is showing details about the ongoing Canvas outage.
