  1. What is fair and average housing price within 20 min of walking to Cornell? Accurate? At Cornell University, a studio apartment will on average cost you about $897. A one bedroom apartment on average can run about $975. In this college community, an apartment with two bedrooms on average will cost $1,234. The average price for a three bedroom rental is $1,604. http://www.myapartmentmap.com/data/colleges/ny/cornell_university/ How do u guys find of-campus housing? Do u just pay a property company, or do u visit Cornell during summer?
  2. @Sol Invictus Do you have placement info/link to CS MENG graduates? You can do 3 semesters for Cornell, but you still have to pay full semester tuition 23.5k for the third semester, even if you just take 1 class/ 1 credit unit. alternatively, you can defer your Cornell admission to spring, if you can, and have 1 summer to do internship.
  3. I thought u would have 1 year after graduation to look for employment, with employment card? Cornell is in Ithaca and 3.5 hours from NYC, may be harder to look for job. UCLA is right in LA. Although many recruiters come to either campus to recruit 2 year at UCLA is more expensive than Cornell 47k
  4. Why'd you dismiss Cornell? Is it U wisconsin or U washington? Cornell and UW are much better CS schools than UCI.
  5. I am sure if you're concerned with going to the best Machine Learning program, Ga Tech is the school to go to. I heard Columbia CS is a good option if you want to have financial connection and job prospects, like in banking or investment, than tradition software company connection.
  6. I guess it comes down to do you want exposure to Silicon Valley or Europe. Go for Columbia/Europe if you want more a financial industry connnection. Europe is more of a financial center than a technology center (US, Asia). Go for Berkeley if you want technology/Silicon Valley connection. I personally would go for Berkeley since Silicon Valley is the zenith of technology, startups, and investments. I'm not so interested in financial industry, although investment banking and financial engineering and hedge funds may perhaps be lucrative.
  7. LA is a much nicer city, more developed, so many theme parks, hollywood, las vegas close by. Almost always sunny, and not so hot as Texas. But for engineering reputation and strength I think u should choose GT or UT. Austin has a vibrant startup scene. esp during sxsw when so many ppl and companies came to meet and launch. Sorry, can't seem to narrow it down for u!
  8. Please choose based on school reputation and education/research strength. Thank you!
  9. Cornell if not too costly. Recruiters come to Cornell too, and u can look for jobs when you graduate. I thought for engineering Cornell is way higher ranked than minnesota
  10. Choose UT or GT, usc is super expensive. At UT CS, facebook hosts a hackathon and if u do well, you'll get noticed by fb/get internship? All big companies visit GT and UT often though. GT should have a more diverse student body, more out of state/international. UT EE building (super old) will be torn down and undergo construction in the next few years. May make things inconvenient. GT buildings seem nicer Austin is smaller more run down city, but less travel to get to places. Buses run often enough here. If u like bigger cities go with Atlanta. You should look at research labs that may interest u.
  11. I think if u want to do a thesis then do the MS. not possible with MENG I think. Also look at tuition, degree requirements/# classes, # semesters to finish
  12. I would say cmu. To get your foot in the field of your choice, u can just take classes at cmu in that field, do project/research in non gaming field. CS is broad, so even with CS degree the recruiter will look at your experiences to see if you're a good fit. In gaming you learn graphics, web applications, machine learning (I'm guessing) so those skills are actually more practical than theoretical and better for jobs, I'm guessing Though I'n not anexpert in this matter.
  13. rankings about the same for both. UCLA if u want sunny weather and cheaper tuition Columbia if u maybe go into financial CS jobs , want to meet Ivy ppl and, potential future bankers, etc. Check out their labs and see if any research interest u.
  14. Isn't UT Out of State is 22k/year, UCSD In state is 12k/year, so for 2 years at UCSD you save 20k.
