Hi folks,
I am a new member here and I'd like to get some advice on school selection.
I recently got admission offers for MS in Computer Science from UCLA and USC and I am having trouble in choosing one for the other. Here's why:
1. Program: USC: CS in game dev, an awesome program with a promising career ahead.
UCLA: CS, yet to decide my specialization, all though i havent come across an interesting one available for me. So, i'll be a hard core computer scientist here, and career prospects are as usual, nothing exciting in my opinion.
2. Reputation: Both are equally reputed schools as far as I know, which does no good in easing my confusion
3. Tuition: USC is way too expensive as opposed to UCLA - a one major factor, I cannot ignore!
4. Commutation: For where I live, commuting to UCLA works out much easier than to USC.
That's all my confusion is about. In a nutshell, I don't know what to choose between career and money/comfort.
I really need some opinions from you guys. I have to make a decision soon.
Thanks much
