Here are my options:
-UIUC ECE MS, funded by serving as RA
-Columbia CS MS, unfunded
I am an undergrad at UIUC now interested in networking and computing. UIUC gives me a very good offer with stipend that could cover my spendings. Also, I have worked in the research group at UIUC for nearly a year; people in the research group are nice to me. But I also want to change environment after living in the crop field for four years and New York seems like a great city. In columbia, I may get more job opportunities than in UIUC, since I want to find a job after MS.
Any advice? I appreciate your help! Or anyone can provide any information about the job placement at Columbia?
