.letmeinplz// Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I never understand these questions... You obviously researched each school and selected them based on some metrics (fit, prestige, whatever) over schools you didn't apply to. Use those same metrics to compare your acceptances too. We don't know where you fit better, where you have better funding, or what type of city you want to live in (protip: LA and DC are very different cities), especially with no information given about any of these things.

ccs94 Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Well ranking wise and prestige wise they are more or less ranked the same. I've been accepted for an unfunded (As of now) Masters in Environmental Engineering. The cities really don't matter. I did research them based prestige etc etc but however still have no idea on what sort of employment I would receive post completion on the degrees. Which cities offer better employment opportunities etc etc. Also I am not an American citizen. Hence asking around to see which would offer a good education and/or better employment offers post graduation. Thanks in advance. Sorry for being ambiguous with question. 1 hour ago, .letmeinplz// said: I never understand these questions...

If they are ranked the same, I would recommend Maryland. California is insanely expensive. If it is unfunded, save yourself a ton of money and live in Maryland/DC. Job wise, California is probably better for finding a job. Not entirely sure though, since I am not familiar with jobs in your major. California is just as hot bed for all sorts of engineering jobs.
