UofAlberta vs Penn State

[arnamoy]

Hello;

I have been admitted to both Penn State and Uof Alberta (Canada) for MS in CS. I am interested in Compilers, programming languages and Software Engineering. Could you please suggest which one would be better for me if I have plans for doing PhD later? Alberta admit was a funded one but Penn State was not. Also I would like a comparison between US and Canada.

Thank you;

Arnamoy
