Can anyone suggest what is better for Computer Sc UIC or NYU ?? Got the admits from both but no detail about the financial help which has better chance of getting TA/RA

Hi, I have got three admits for MS Computer Science FAll'09 session - from NorthCarolina St Univ, Univ of Illinois Chicago, and Univ of Pittsburg. My area of interest in Computer Sc primarily is Databases, DataStructures and Algo but I an open to other areas as well. What I am not looking at is - AI, Robotics, Embedded systems, Graphics, security. Can anyone please suggest the rankings for these three Universities based on following 1. Academics - according to my area of reserach or in General in Computer SCience 2. Financials - getting TA/RA and cost of Tuiton and Living 3. In general for pursuing MS Computer Sc Please suggest the rankings early as I have to send confirmations to the universities. Thanks guptamber
