Is Columbia University better than UMass Amherst for an MS in computer science?

As an admit to Columbia for an MS in computer engineering and to the University of Maryland (UMD) for an MS in computer science, which should I pick?

  • Want 2 study CS courses which I can do at both places. Getting full tuition wavier at UMD + $9500 stipend for 1st semester. Post grad aim is to get job. Columbia offers better name/place than UMD which provides funding.

  • Answer:

    Columbia is a private school located in nyc. So the cost of living and tuition ought to be high. If finances aren't an issue choose Columbia. Umd is also a pretty good school. Given a choice I'd go with it. If I may ask, how is your profile and when will you be starting?
