MS@U Illinois Urbana-Champaign vs MA@Iowa State University

Hi guys, I have been accepted by UIUC and ISU's master program.

 

 

If I go to UIUC, I probably will apply again after two years' study. Compared to UIUC, it's pretty easier to upgrade into the Ph.D. program at ISU after one year study. But the econ department at UIUC seems stronger than ISU. My final goal is to apply a Ph.D. program. The master study for me is just a stepping stone.

 

Can you guys give me some advice? Really need help to make this decision. 

 

Thanks.
