MS in Mech Eng UCSD or Northwestern

[PareNL]

I accepted my offer for MS in Mechanical Engineering at UCSD because of the April 15 Deadline

I have only one choice at that time.

Today, I just got an offer from Northwestern in the same program.

I really can't decide. I want to go to Northwestern since it seems to have a better reputation for Mech Eng but the tuition is so expensive. Moreover, I don't know if I can change back out on my offer from UCSD.

 

P.S. I'm an international student and I'm hoping for job opportunities in the US after the degree, so if anyone can tell about which university is better to find work also?

Both are good programs and would afford you ample connections for career advancement and/or graduate studies. I can't really give more detailed of an answer unless you specify what sub-discipline you would like to get into.

I applied for specialization in energy & sustainablity or thermal science

I would go with UCSD - the west coast is very big on sustainability and alternative energy now
