NYU Courant MS CS vs UMass Amherst MS CS

[sushi99]

Hi guys, i've been accepted to both UMass Amherst MS CS and NYU Courant MS CS. I have found mixed opinions regarding which one I should prefer. I am an international student. Not very much inclined towards continuing research work at masters level, just wish to have best possible job opportunities.

NYU

• its new york DUH
• its more expensive
• nearer to more industrial openings

 

UMass Amherst

• its in the middle of nowhere
• its cheaper (rent + living expenses)
• more reputed CS program(atleast online rankings as far as i could discern)

Please vote in the poll and submit opinions!
