Want to work in robotics research help me choose my school!

I have an admit from CMU MS ECE for Spring ‘26 and an admit from NYU Courant for MS CS Fall ‘25. I want to get into robotics research working at the intersection of decision making and foundation models. Also interested in cogsci approaches for model generalization.

Would really appreciate any help. Should I even be considering NYU with CMU?

If I want to do a PhD in CS/Robotics after would what really matters?

P.S. I already have a contractual job for 6 months starting May ‘25 if I do choose CMU for Spring.
