Hello, guys. I got to decide among the UW-Madison, UBC, UCSD and GaTech for CS Master. The first two offer funding for me while the latter two have none. My information: international applicant, prone to work after graduation but also interested in machine learning and computer vision research, perhaps decide after some research experiences in graduate school.
Please help me with my decision with analysis both from the outlook of research and work.
My feelings are:
UW-Madison: pros: reputation for research, no difference compared to PhDs, funding!
cons: location, weather, relatively low chance of internship, famous for db and system(but not AI?)
UBC: pros: MS/Phd track offered, funding, beautiful campus, good AI group
cons: don't know how it is academically recognized and living in Vancouver is expensive
UCSD: pros: good place for internship, weather, big public school with more TA opportunities, good AI group
cons: no funding, expensive, a lot of MS ads(maybe I am biased)
GaTech: not familiar. higher rank, low chance of TA
Thanks! Any thoughts will be appreciate!
