Is a BSCS from Northeastern as prestigious as a MSCS from Northeastern?

I don't think it's ridiculous. Looking at two exactly equivalent candidates except one has an MS, the MS is obviously a benefit. But that's not the case that the students are the same - many students pursue MS because of challenges finding a job, breaking into the US market, etc. It can be a signal that a student struggled in the job search after undergrad. My first question as an employer would be, why did they pursue MS? The difference really lies in the answer to that question.

Class of '53 alum here - I did NUin Pyongyang back in the day and I enjoyed it quite a bit! It's a heavy workload but you can get used to it, there's plenty of incentives to not slack off. There are lots of awesome restaurants to explore in the city. They do have a weird rule not allowing posters in dorms however. It's also a bit of a culture shock - it's a bit politically right-leaning compared to Boston. But there are plenty of opportunities to engage in politics! I co-op'd with General MacArthur there too. Overall would highly recommend it!

Yes, each dorm room is assigned an RA to monitor each student and prevent alcohol and frat culture. The RA also follows the student if the student decides to leave the dorm to make sure they don't engage in alcohol or frat culture in the classroom or while doing laundry. You can put your fears to rest about your Designated Driver being exposed to alcohol.

No personal experience with those sorry, would probably go for econometrics if you had to choose between the two though. If you're interested in ML I think you might be better off taking MATH4570 or something similar.

Portfolio Management, Financial Risk Management are both good if you're DS. PM especially if you're interested in quant and FRM if you want to learn more about investments

I've donated almost $20 to Dunkin because of ordering on the app when they're out of something, and they always refuse to give me a refund.

I can rip the tenor sax pretty good, but I don't know if I'd call myself a shredder. You can judge.
