IU Bloomington or Suny Buffalo for MS CS

[Krish]

I have an unfunded admit from Suny Buffalo and a partially funded one from

Indiana Univ. Bloomington.

Can anyone help me decide ? I want to do an MS in CS with specialization in

Databases and not a Phd.

I can't speak to the schools or the programs, but I can tell you about the city of Buffalo. I spent most of my life growing up in WNY and honestly Buffalo isn't the greatest place in the world to be. It's fairly cheap to live in but that's only because poverty is rampant. Since you've got funding for Bloomington and I'd bet money it's a nicer city, that'd be enough to seal my decision if the programs are similar. However, New York is a beautiful state and there's lots to do within short distances from Buffalo and lots of rural and scenic areas nearby (in NY, Canada, and PA). Perhaps the region just seems dead to me because I grew up there...

Anyway, where are you from and what factors are weighing most heavily on your decision? (ie. close or far from family, cost, program type/size?)
