Hello, guys.
I have two schools to choose from and both have some pros and cons. (PHD program) Actually, I have not decide whether to go to the academia or industry after finish my PHD. Kind want to try both. so now It is too hard for me to make a decision. Hope you can help me out.
School A
high reputation
good location (good place to live and study, plus have potential industrial employers nearby)
good number of professors (have several professor I get interested in)
quite flexible/interdisplinary
But
no funding garauntee ( it looks like it is possible to find some funding at the end, but really need to take some time and energy after arrive the school)
School B
reputation ok
good location(good place to live and study, plus have quite a lot of research jobs)
funding garauntee for the first year, looks quite promising for the following years
quite a portion of new professors working on exciting topics, have decent background
But
students are almost all asican ( to me, it is not a good thing) and looks like quite competitve between students
low faculty-student ratio, faculty does not seems to have much time to spend on students
Thank you!
