    Can anyone detail how grad life is at CMU ? I might join as a masters in ECE this fall. How are food options (especially if you're a vegetarian ) ? I have heard the weather is mostly dull and cold, doest it affect grad life and studies much? I have heard social life is mostly nill for ECE grads, but that might be the case anywhere.
  2. Which would you rank higher in terms of job/internship opportunities and perhaps chance to apply to top PhD programs. I loved the courses at CMU more than that of UCLA and GaTech. But the research in UCLA's labs matches exactly my interest while CMU has some research in that domain as well. I am not sure whether I want a PhD straight after so in terms of pure learning experience and job opportunities afterwards which among the three would you rank higher ? P.S. - None of the offers are funded and I think CMU is much much higher than GaTech.
  3. Thanks for the reply. Both are research based and without funding. On pure brand people say CMU is pretty good when it comes to jobs and internships. I am assuming it will at least give me a shot with some top PhD programs. What are your views on this and on similar opportunities at UCLA ?
  4. Hi, I have gotten into the Masters program at CMU (ECE) , UCLA (EE) , UPenn (Emb Sys), Columbia (Comp. Engineering). Among these schools I am looking towards CMU and UCLA right now. My field is Embedded Sensing and Sensor Networks. Now UCLA has amazing labs in this domain. Truly legendary profs in exactly my field of interest. But CMU is a great brand too especially in ECE and great faculty for Emb. Sys. but with slightly different areas than my exact domain of interest. I also know that my interests might expand after going to graduate school. Can some users shed light on which school to choose based on (higher rank->more weightage)- 1. Research and Funding opportunities 2. Job Opportunities /Summer Intern opportunities(I especially want to know how UCLA is in this regard) 3. Stepping Stone for a possible PhD at the same or a higher ranked program. 4. Cost and Living expense 5. Campus and overall student experience.
