Hi all, I have been admitted into the PhD programs at UC Irvine (EECS) and at ASU (CS). Unfortunately I was not able to secure any funding at the time of admission. I have a professor contact at ASU who seemed interested in me and funding may work out once I go there but I do not have any such contacts in UC Irvine. Now I have to decide if funded PhD @ ASU is better than UC Irvine without funding. I would really appreciate your inputs on this as I need to make a decision by this week. As I understand if the funding factor is overlooked then UC Irvine is a better school then ASU ? Please confirm. Thanks a lot in advance. Best regards,
