[Admissions Advice] NYU MS CS vs NCSU MS CS

International student. Got an admit from both these for their MS CS program.

Wanted real advice about which to choose. Most people on this reddit like to shit on NYU Tandon for how expensive it is and while I agree, NCSU is pretty expensive too. In fact, most MS CS programs are quite expensive as the demand for them is extremely high even with a dogshit job market.

The hate on NYU Tandon, as a result of the high costs everywhere part above, makes it feel more like people hate on it more as a trend, not because it’s genuinely bad.

What I basically want is for someone to explain exactly why I should choose one over the other; not just say ‘it’s a cash cow’ cause that basically describes every single University that has any level of prestige associated with it.
