I have been offered an MS in Biostatistics by both of these Universities. From what I have researched the University of Minnesota is a higher ranked biostatistics program but Emory is the better ranked public health school. I have heard some negative comments regarding the weather of Minnesota and that some of the reputed faculty members were approaching retirement. Do you know anything about this? . I would like to know about the job opportunities available post-graduation since I will be taking loans to cover the cost of my studies. Can you help me with it?

I know this post is merely hours away from deadline but I am still torn between these two options. Can anyone give any inputs? Is Emory worth the extra money?
