I am choosing between these two programs. Both the programs are not offering me any RAship or TAship now.
I want to go straight to work after graduation. From what I've heard, the chances of getting into big enterprises for graduate from both schools are the same.
I did my undergraduate projects in robotics (human-robot interaction), but I don't think robotics is the only thing I will be doing in the future.
CMU Robotics is like THE robotics school in the world. It would be a terrific experience studying there, being a part of the research projects. Pittsburgh is cheaper to live in and there's a big chance I can get an RAship.
And Stanford... It seems in Stanford I can learn a lot of things besides CS. I heard Stanford students can learn windsurfing and interesting stuff like that. And also more Stanford people do start-ups.
I know I am fortunate enough to have this problem... Can anyone give me some ideas?
Thank you!
