GaTech MS CS (HCI) vs UMich Ann Arbor MS CS (InterSys)

[fringe_division]

Hi all,

 

I've been admitted into the MS CS program at GaTech and UMich with HCI and Interactive Systems specializations respectively. Both schools have not provided any funding. I'd like to know which is the better of the two in terms of HCI related research and job opportunities post graduation.

 

Some feel that UMich has more brand value than GaTech. Will this have any effect on the job opportunities?

 

Also, is it possible to get some sort of financial aid after joining?

 

Thanks in advance for your opinions!
