Which one is the best option Between Stony Brook University and GSBS of UTHSC Houston?

Hi All,

I have been accepted at both Stony Brook University and GSBS of UTHSC Houston. Both schools provide almost equal opportunity to work in cancer research, because first one allows to work with Cold Spring Harbor Lab and second one allows to work with MD Anderson Cancer Center. The faculties with whom I like to work has similar and excellent research provides equal opportunity. So I am confused to choose between them. So I would highly appreciate the suggestion from fellow mates of Grad Cafe Forum.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

CONG! Both of them are good for cancer research. Consider the location, I would select UTHSC. Could you tell me when you received the offer of UTHSC Houston, because I am waiting for its last decision. Is it offer with financial aid? Thanks

Did you compare cost of living versus stipends? Quality of life between the two places (living in the boonies of Long Island vs maybe getting mugged in Houston)? Equipment/lab spaces of potential labs? Neighboring institutions that you can collaborate with easily? Why the hell are you asking us? This is your decision that will determine at least the next 5 years of your life, are you sure you want anyone swaying your decision?

I have received the offer on 4th April with full funding, I am decided with Stony Brook Univ. so probably you should catch on them for your offer.
