Where would you go?

This is more just for fun but I wanna see if there's a clear winner.

I got into 6 masters programs:

Penn MCIT

University of Chicago Computer Science

Naval Postgraduate School Cyber Security- with funding

Purdue CERIAS Information Security - with funding

Johns Hopkins Information Security Institute - possibly with funding (depends on whether I get IASP scholarship)

Brown Computer Science

I'm interested in information security and working for the government. My background is in applied math (read: not CS). Where would you go if you were me and money was important to you?

JHopkins, given you get money

Penn or Brown would have been good options if you had received money, but otherwise Johns Hopkins would be your best option IMO as long as you got funding.

similar question, but at the moment since Harvard SEAS's decision has not yet come, it may be completely premature.

same area of interest as OP ie information assurance/computer security

IYO which would be the smarter choice should that both be options

CS Masters Northeastern University College of Computer and Information Science (assume full funding/stipend from Federal scholarship, decision comes next week)

CS Masters Harvard SEAS

Also, to add to the discussion, consider to possibility that employer funds the Masters/stipend. That decision will not come until April.
