Hello everyone,
I got a tough choice to make: I have been admitted to both Harvard and Oxford for a two-year Masters in Middle Eastern Studies.
Pros of Harvard: Reputation, position in higher education rankings and location. Have been there before, love the place, love the people, never networked as much in my life.
Pros of Oxford: MUCH cheaper, stronger programme (Harvard is slightly weak on Middle East), greater possibilities to continue onto PhD as students are encouraged to do so.
I wonder if the extra financial investment (difference of over 80,000 USD) in a Harvard Masters will translate into better job opportunities in international relations of the Middle East afterwards.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance for your help!
