Hey, I have received an admit from UPenn for MS in CIS and I'm still waiting for USC and UCSD; assuming I get into one of them or both of them; which of the three is better suited for MS in CS taking into consideration the opportunities for TA/RA, funding, financial assistance, internship chances, and job prospects? It would be great help if you can direct me to some students who've studied/studying there as well!

Oh sure, I'll look into it. Thanks for the help!

Alright, thanks for the help!

I don't want to waste a lot of time traveling, so some areas near the school, I've heard of University City and Centre City so far.. Any ideas on how safe they are?

Hey guys, I am planning to attend UPenn this fall and I would like to know about what areas are close enough and cheap enough for a graduate student? Also, what are the part time job prospects around here? Thanks in advance!

I'm constantly refreshing the sites and checking my mail every 5 minutes. Then I tell myself, doing this will not make them reply any sooner! 2 minutes later, I'm doing the same thing again!

@DBearNot pocket Yocket* autocorrect failed me! https://yocket.in and http://www.edulix.com are sites that I usually stalk! I'm losing my mind waiting for these results!

Same with me. I'm spending my nights checking the application status and checking the results here, pocket and edulix. I am going mad waiting! :|
