UW Madison VS USC | MS CS FALL 2015

[stepbystepwegrow]

Here's my status. Applied for Masters in Computer Science

1. UW-Madison (MS CS PMP - Professional Program) - ACCEPT

2. USC - ACCEPT

3. Rutgers - Reject

4. UCI - Reject

5. UCD - Reject

6. UIUC - Reject

7. GaTECH - Reject

8. Stony Brook - Reject

 

I kindly request you to suggest me which university to go. UW-Madison has a better ranking on grad school news but my program doesn't allow me to accept assitantships so a hit on funding opportunities, I can still do campus jobs though.

 

I am stuck in deciding between UW-Madison (PMP) vs USC. I would be very grateful if you can suggest me which is better considering the details above.

With the recent cuts to the UW system, even if you are not directly affected by lack of funding, lack of funding to everyone else = more people looking for on-campus (or general) opportunities = fewer opportunities for you. However, cost of living will be waaaay cheaper in Madison than in Southern California. UW will be seeing brain drain/people fleeing the system soon, but as yours is just a Master's (not a long PhD program) you probably don't have to worry too much about that.
