Columbia HRSMA or Johns Hopkins SAIS

[vavalooey]

Hi all

 

I got into Columbia's Human Rights Program with no scholarship, and the Johns Hopkins SAIS MA with a pretty attractive grant. 

 

opinions? which should I take? Is an ivy league name really worth that much? Or should I go to JHU and pay way less for an equally strong program if not as strong brand name?

I would say both have great brand names. Hopkins' is probably even stronger in the world of IR/Intl Development.
