Hi All, I have got admits to Stanford MS and UTAustin MS (Integrated Circuits) programs. Though I am very much interested in Stanford, the cost of attendance is high (abt 84K $ for 4 quarters or 65K$ for 3 quarters) per year. On the other hand, UTA cost of attendance is within my budget. What are the pros and cons of each of these programs (particularly interested in graduate student life, ease of finding RA/TA/internships, course structure, brand image) ? Thanks in Advance...
