Is the cost of going to CMU for Mechanical Engineering worth it??

[sachincp16]

Hi All,

 

I am kinda stuck on trying to figure out whether I should attend a one or two year masters program in mechanical engineering. On the one hand, I have been accepted to a few M.E. programs (Boston U, Lehigh U, Drexel), some with scholarships, while on the other hand, I have been accepted to Carnegie Mellon's Dual degree masters in M.E. and engineering management program. The tuition is double at CMU b/c it is two years, so I am trying to determine if getting a dual degree is worth the investment as opposed to just a M.E. masters degree. Any thoughts on this? I would really like to go to CMU, but the cost of attending is making me think twice. Would job prospects be better going to CMU, as opposed to going to the other universities?
