ellen_ai Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hi, guys~ I got in the Master of Environmental Management of Nicholas School of Duke University and Master of Sustainable Business and Innovation of Utrecht University in the Netherlands. Nicholas School offered me $12000 scholarship for year 2015-16, and Utrecht University offered me the Utrecht Excellence Scholarship (full-tuition waiver). So now the decision is pretty much about saving money or earning a degree from a better-known institution...and it's a tough one. I'd appreciate if people can tell me about what they think or offer insights about the programs, and lots of thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rising_star Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 The Nicholas school is great but tuition there is expensive. I would probably go to Utrecht, which is also a decently well known school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles123 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 When is the deadline you must reply for the offer for both schools ? If it was for bachelor I would suggest Utrecht University since it's quite well known in Europe. But for more specialized education, I would prefer absolutely Duke university if I were you. It's one of the top20 most prestigious research universities in the world!!! I'm not sure if Utrecht University is good at research facilities.. If you have plans for Phd, choose the Nicolas School. Overall, do not forget that value > money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both master programs in Duke and Utrecht are professional master programs, but I am considering doing a PhD afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
