This is sort of like a bright-future-versus-long-time-dream frustration...
CMU's program definitely guarantees better career development, provides both phd and big company chances.
And it's also more affordable, in my case about $30k cheaper, a big number for my family.
NYU's game program is also cool, but it doens't help international students to find a job financially stable (comparatively), considering its location away from the industry and independent style.
I made my decision to enter CMU immediately after being accepted. However, these days the frustration is getting stronger and stronger. I feel like I've betrayed my dream to become a big figure in the game industry, to make some games have influence on millions of players.
This seems to be a decision affecting the trajectory of life. It makes me restless...
I also got accepted by CMU's ETC and NYU's ITP but I'm likely to decline this two though I still haven't.
What your opinion guys, give me some help, thanks
