UMN Fall 2017 vs USC Spring 2018 - MSEE

[sharadam]

I had initially decided to attend UMN starting Fall 2017 (MS Electrical Engineering). However, I received an admit from USC for the Spring 2018 term and I'm having a hard time choosing between the two.

I realize that USC is more expensive than UMN and getting a TA/RA position may not be possible at USC. With those factors in mind, are there any significant advantages in choosing USC over UMN?

My area of interest is Signal Processing.
