Hello there, expert! I got admits for a Master's degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and from UPenn. I'm interested in semiconductor devices materials and fabrication, a branch of electrical engineering. I've visited Boulder and all non-academic factor are near-perfect (the best I can realistically imagine), academically: not-so-fancy, yet serious. Great Physics dept they got there. Met with a super kind interest-related Professor and is happy with their offering, but not wowed. UPenn, on the other hand, is nonetheless Ivy League. The name has much more weight here, but not in Electrical Engineering as much as business and arts I guess. I'm still evaluating coursework and research relevant to my interest, although it seems that what I want in not straightforwardly offered. Will visit hopefully soon. Geographically it's better for me, but in Philly (a big city), and I fear it's one of those very old big loud cities (like Boston). Funding will not be a problem, as I got blessed with a full-tuition government scholarship from my country. Any input/suggestions/guidance massively appreciated! :wink:
