Hi, I am heading to UMich as well this Fall. I am an international student and have been accepted into the M.Eng. Manufacturing Engineering program. What about you?

Hello, I am an international student and I got admits from University of Michigan-Ann Arbor for M.Eng. in Manufacturing Engineering and Virginia Tech for M.S. in Industrial Engineering. I am still confused between the two mostly because of the significant difference in cost. Advantages of UMich: 1. Better ranked university. It’s 2nd compared to Virginia which is 6th. (https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-engineering-schools/industrial-engineering-rankings). 2. Better location 3. I find the course to be better. 4. I got an admit to the Tauber Institute which gives a guaranteed, paid internship. Advantages of VTech: 1. Cheaper than UMich. VTech I-20 amount is approximately $25000 less. 2. It is an M.S. course so I have a higher chance of getting an assistantship. 3. Cost of living is less. I would be glad if people on this forum would give me their opinions.

Hi, I am an international student and I will be joining the University of Michigan in Fall 2017. I am looking to rent a 1 bedroom partially/fully furnished apartment close to the North Campus from mid August 2017. I am particularly interested in Willowtree apartments. If anyone in this group wants to transfer their lease or knows someone else, please let me know. I will be moving in with my wife so I am not looking for a room. We also have 2 cats. Thank you!

I have made my decision. I have got an admit to the Tauber Program in the University of Michigan which gives guaranteed highly paid internships in addition to courses on leadership and operations. Michigan it is!

I got admits from University of Michigan- Ann Arbor for M.Eng. in Manufacturing Engineering and Northeastern University(Boston) for MS in Industrial Engineering for Fall 2017. Advantages of UMich- Better University- ranked 2nd in the US(https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-engineering-schools/industrial-engineering-rankings) Better location for getting a job in manufacturing Cheaper cost of living Advantages of Northeastern- It is an M.S. degree, so I think it would be easier for me to get an RA/TA as compared to M.Eng. Slightly cheaper tuition(difference is around $3000, so not a big deal) I have been accepted to the Gordon Engineering Leadership program(http://www.northeastern.edu/gordonleadership/), which means that a company would sponsor me for the Gordon program and allow me to do a paid internship with them. Since I am an international student, I will need to find the company myself. At the moment, I am 90% inclined towards the University of Michigan since I like their curriculum more and it's more prestigious. My final objective is to find a job and not to do a PhD. I have not been offered any financial aid by either of the two. I would be glad to get your feedback, especially if there are any reasons why I should not choose the University of Michigan. Also, if there is an international student in this forum who has studied in the Gordon Leadership program, please let me know.
