I recently received three ECE PhD offers from UCLA, Gatech and UIUC. It is really hard to make a decision. Could anyone give me some suggestions. I want to find an industry job after my PhD (Prefer Silicon Valley).
UCLA
pros:
1. High reputation
2. Good location.
3. Prestigious adviser
Cons:
1. Large research group, very few attention from adviser
2. High living expenses
Gatech
Pros:
1. High reputation for ECE program
2. Interesting research project
Cons:
1. Location (Less tech jobs in Atlanta than Los Angeles?)
2. Security
