Hi all,
I am an international student (from Europe).
I have applied for M.S In Computer Science and after a long wait I am now
in the difficult but very happy situation where I can choose between:
1) Stanford University: I like the west-coast, life is probably cheaper and perhaps it has a better
reputation than choice 2? They have nice courses, however regarding my main interest there are not that much. They do ahve other courses in the field of AI but not in the specialization I am interested in.
2) Columbia University: Ivy League, does that match up against Stanfords reputation? NY is probably a great city, but also rather expensive? The courses really match my interests lot of Machine Learning and CV (see below) courses.
In addition it is perhaps good to know that I am interested in Artificial Intelligence, and especially Computer Vision and Machine Learning. Furthermore I will most likely pursue I a research career in the professional sector as opposed to the academical. (However things can change of course)..
Any tips or ideas?
