MSDS @ RIT vs ASU

[Aisha05]

I am an international student.

Could you guys help me decide on this one? Here's what I've learned about both so far.

I would love for you guys to comment on the following points and correct me if I am going wrong anywhere.

ASU

1. I noticed a lot of grads got hired at companies in Arizona itself. I assume those firms would lean towards ASU grads to fill their roles.

2. Large class size. Difficult to connect with the professor and reduces the chances of getting an RA/TA.

3. Maybe due to the higher volume of students, part-time jobs will be scarce.

4. I am an international student here. services at ASU. Can anyone from ASU comment on this?

RIT

1. I've heard RIT provides very good career services and a coop program.

2. It's a good school and has a good ranking.

3. Small class size

4. Good location and a good alumni network.

I have received a $11850 scholarship from RIT and $7000 from ASU.

I think I should choose RIT. But I want to make a well-informed decision.

Any input would be helpful. Thank you!
