[UX/HCI] Georgia Tech vs U Toronto

[synodicperiod]

Hi everybody,

I'm an international student who currently got accepted into Georgia Tech's 'Human Computer Interaction' program and the 'Master of Information, specializing in User Experience Design' program at the University of Toronto.

Question: which one should I go for?

 I love both of the programs and they are both prestigious schools.

I am not sure about the work opportunities in the USA, since I heard that work authorization is becoming harder for foreign nationals. In the long run, does Canada seem like a better opportunity to find work?

Also, I'm confused between choosing UofT or Georgia Tech, since UofT is No.1 in Canada, while GaTech has an amazing HCI program  -- one of the top in the USA. 

Also, I feel that Toronto is a better city for networking than Atlanta, given its size and the influx of people from around the world.

I'm confused about which one to choose.

Could some give me any advice? 
Thanks a lot in advance

Would you please share your background with us? In my view, there are many job opportunities for UX designers in the USA  than Toronto and you have a bright future after your graduation from Gatech.

I'm an international student, coming straight from undergrad with three internships. I really dig GaTech's program but am confused since UofT is better ranked. Also, I prefer the location of UofT, Toronto, to Atlanta. In the long run,  I find that postgraduate work opportunities are easier to find in Canada since there are massive visa issues in the USA. Do you have any advice that could really help me out?
