Hey, welcome to TGC and congrats on the acceptances! 

You may want to talk with some other computer science people regarding making decisions. There's a dedicated computer science forum here: https://forum.thegradcafe.com/forum/33-computer-science/ They'll know more than I will about program and discipline specific issues.

Generally, it's recommended to take the offer that a) offers you the best funding so that you can avoid student debt and b) is the best fit for you in terms of faculty, resources, and city (obviously Florida is very different from Kansas, so you may want to think about where you'd prefer to live). 

I don't recommend you accept both offers at all. You're under no obligation to accept until April 15th, unless it's different for MSC programs--meaning that they don't expect to hear from you for another 10 days. If you do accept both, you'll be taking up a spot at each school that you couldn't possibly fill, and thereby keeping another student on the waitlist from getting into the program. Also, you'd be likely to burn bridges with that program and anyone who works there by accepting and then declining at a later date--especially if it's after April 15th. Just think about it for a couple days, talk to some more people on TGC and weigh the pros and cons, then accept one and turn down the other.
