  1. TL;DR If I want to join/found educational game startups, which grad school is recommended, CMU or Columbia? Objective I want to join the startups related with educational technology, gamification, and so forth. My final goal, definitely, is to run my own startup in educational game industry. (This is also the reason why I apply to these graduate programs this year!) Admitted Schools CMU SV: MS in Software Engineering (Sillicon Valley Campus) Columbia: MS in Computer Science Gatech: MS in Computer Science Pending UCLA: MS in CS USC: MS in CS Cornell: MEng in CS Pain points I've never been to US. Everything I heard of was from my friends and drama. I know the popularity of tech startups in Silicon Valley is beyond question. But I want to know if educational game startup is still the case? The following is my analysis (based on my very very limited understanding of US). CMU SV Pros 3 semesters => cheaper tuition fee Tech startups, Angels, VC are everywhere Columbia Pros CG/CV lab is excellent (e.g. many papers in SIGGRAPH every year). => It may be benificial to game development Ivy league => I may build connections with business people There are vibrant art and music activities in New York City => It may be benificial to game development Cons 2yr program => high tuition fee less tech startups in NYC Finally, I surveyed https://angel.co and I found: # of K12 startups : SF > NYC # of language learning startups : NYC > SF Thanks for reading my long post. Welcome to any advice from you guys!
