Hi,everyone. I got these admits so far. I really need some advice on these schools. Personally I am inclined to go to UCSB right now but have some doubts. I think RICE and PURDUE are also good and ranked higher than UCSB on USNEWS. 1.my area of interests includes database, data mining and distributed systems. So which of these schools is the best for these areas? 2.I plan to work in US after the graduation. Thank you

plan to find a job after the program..

oh...little mistake...it is a professional master program@RICE

International Students, major in CS. Got two admits from UCSB and RICE. I am still waiting for UCSD, but I think it is a little late already. My interest areas are database..data mining...sort of things...and I plan to work after finishing the master .. Hope to hear more advice on the two schools.. Ranking in USNEWS: RICE(rank #20) is higher than UCSB(rank #34). So i am wondering how locals view these two.. Thank you.
