Duke BME vs. UMich BME

[scared]

So I'm currently trying to choose between Duke's M.S. in BME program, and UMich's M.S. in BME program based on (in the following order)

1. Availability of jobs --> I'm not too keen on working for a huge company? I'd rather work for a mid-sized company, well funded, that allows me to gain some useful and hands-on experience. I've heard that UMich BME has some issues when it comes to finding good BME internships and jobs (compared to Duke and its proximity to the RTP). Is this true? 

2.  Availability of funding

3. Flexibility wrt concentration

4.  Durham vs. Ann Arbor

 

Anybody have any tips?
