SVA IXD / IIT MDES

[DIUDIU]

Hi, guys! Hope you can give me some advice, please.

I was accepted by the SVA's  IXD program and got into the IIT's MDES program with a scholarship.

I have seen the portfolios of the admitted students on the SVA's website, and their projects are great. Students receive many awards each year, and the employment rate seems very good. There seem to be more opportunities in New York.

The teachers of IIT ID are also very powerful, and the teaching direction is more theoretical. I can also choose UX-related courses, but I have not worked, I don’t know if I will be very suitable for IIT courses? IIT gives me the scholarship and living expense is cheaper.

Both programs are really fascinating, and their alumni also rated them highly, and their classes size are not that big, which is very attractive to me.

Interaction design and design consulting are the directions I am very interested in, I didn't work now, so I am not completely sure which direction to pursue in the future.

Does anyone have experience or thoughts they could share about the programs? I'm not sure which one is better for me.

Thanks for sharing your thought and have a nice day.

Hi, I am curious to know if you picked SVA or IIT? 

I recently got accepted into SVA as well for Fall 2021 Interaction Design program and I am wondering if I should opt for it. 
Would love to know your thoughts regardless you opted in or out of SVA. 

Thanks.
