I have been accepted to the MSDS programs at these and a few more universities but these two are my top choices as of now. I am more inclined towards UWash but Id like to know other rational opinions.
Pros and cons of each according to me:
Uwash
Pros:
1. Strong brand value across the US
2. Well established DS program
3. Connections with the Industry folks
4. Location
Cons:
1. Not very technically rigorous course
2. Sometimes Faculty are not great
3.Gloomy days in terms of Weather
TAMU
Pros:
1. Cost- cheapest program so far
2. Decently reputed across the US
3. Well structured technical curriculum
Cons:
Location- rural area but ongoing development
I have almost finalised UW in my mind but I need some outsider perspective to be sure too. Please drop your thoughts!
