5th year program vs new school for Masters

Any thoughts about pros and cons of staying to complete your Masters at the same school where you did your undergrad vs. going somewhere (else assuming the quality/reputation of the schools are basically the same)?

It depends on your major, the two schools, and whether or not your undergrad institution has a 4+1 type of program to dual count a few hours towards both degrees. Can you give more details?

It depends on a number of factors including but not limited to:
–would getting the masters degree be faster/cheaper at one of the schools?
–would you be happy staying at the same school?
–are career options the same at both schools?
