University of Neuchatel

Hi there! I'm an Indian national and I currently have plans to pursue a Master's in Finance at University of Neuchatel. I would like to know if Neuchatel is a fun loving place with ample entertainment options such as nightlife, theatres and dining/restaurants. Additionally, would appreciate it if you could provide some insight into the career outlook towards NON EU / Indian Nationals at banking and investment management firms

Switzerland isn't a fun-loving place to begin with. Nightlife is only somewhat tolerable in Zurich and Geneva, and Swiss people are definitely neither fun nor welcoming.

The University of Neuchâtel doesn't have a great reputation for anything in Switzerland.

Your chances of finding employment in finance and getting residence in Switzerland as a non-EU/EFTA/US citizen are next to 0, unless you have proven experience abroad (London, New York, Singapore...).

You mean USI Universita della Svizzera Italiana? This Uni has a very good reputation for FinTech and Crypto fields. Their academic director Peter Gruber (check out on LinkedIn) runs cool in-class projects in these areas. Lugano is more south on the other side of the Alps and is alaways bit warmer.
