Need Suggestion: Stanford MS (EE) vs UT Austin MS (Integrated Circuits)

[blue_lotus]

Hi All,

I have got admits to Stanford MS and UTAustin MS (Integrated Circuits) programs. Though I am very much interested in Stanford, the cost of attendance is high (abt 84K $ for 4 quarters or 65K$ for 3 quarters) per year. On the other hand, UTA cost of attendance is within my budget.

What are the pros and cons of each of these programs (particularly interested in graduate student life, ease of finding RA/TA/internships, course structure, brand image) ?

Thanks in Advance...

I would say Stanford is at a higher level than UTAustin, thats why it is a dream school for everyone...

It is not accidental why Google, Facebook, Sun Microsystems, etc founder/ CEOs came from that school.

You have to invest to get the money out of it
