Data Science MS - Choosing where to go

[nyan_cat]

Hi all,

I've been admitted to a few Data Science MS programs and am wondering if anyone else is in the same boat. Out of the schools below, which would you choose and why? If you had multiple offers, what criteria did you use to decide? 

I'm currently choosing between NYU, University of San Francisco, and Berkeley MIDS. University of San Francisco is significantly cheaper than the other two (40k versus 60k+). I'm in Boston now, hence the heavy emphasis on East Coast schools. 

Accepted:

• NYU
• University of San Francisco
• Berkeley MIDS (i.e., the online program)
• Tufts 
• Harvard School of Public Health (Health Data Science)

Pending:

• Brown
• Columbia (presumed rejection at this point)

If I were you, I would choose NYU.
