MS in CS - Columbia Univ vs UMich

[acpaluri]

Hi Guys,

I am an international student and have been offered admission to the Masters Program in the Department of Computer Science at both Columbia University and University of Michigan.

Any thoughts on which would be a better school to pursue for Masters in CS ?

They're roughly similar in terms of ranking. Unless there are specific research interests that I can pursue only at Michigan, I'd personally go for Columbia. It's in NYC which will be advantageous in terms of job opportunities plus the Ivy tag could help a bit.
