Hi everyone,
I have admits from these two universities and I am having some trouble deciding where to go. Can you guys please provide your opinion.
My undergraduate degree concentration was in EE. I wish to do research in computer vision and I had applied to universities based on the labs/professors I wanted to work with.
I had applied for M.S. with the aim of a PhD later but given the cost of the degree, the first thing on my mind is to pay back my loans.
Brown - ScM ESCE (Electrical Sciences and Computer Engineering)
Pros: Good brand name, a prof I would want to work with, really good courses.
Cons: 3 semester course, $68,000 i20 (tuition fees for 3 semesters ~ $45,0000), low RA chances, 8 courses (2 math + 2 research + 4 regular)
What I don't know: Chances of an internship / a job after the degree(?) I am skeptical about job prospects because of the small number of core CS courses I will be taking there.
University of Arizona - M.S ECE
Pros: Good chances of a RA, a prof I would want to work with, tuition - $26500 per year , fair chances of a job
Cons: Good courses but no as good as Brown
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
