Hi everyone! I am an international student and intend to begin my graduate education in the US this fall. I need some guidance in university selection. I have been accepted to the MS in Industrial Engineering program at Arizona State University, the MS in Industrial and Systems Engineering program at University of Florida and the MS in Industrial Engineering program at Northeastern University. I have a few more decisions pending but I wish to decide between these three universities.
UF and ASU are ranked higher than Northeastern for Industrial Engineering but Northeastern is known for its Co-op program. I don’t intend to pursue a PhD after my masters (at least right now) hence getting a good job post-graduation is important for me. I also value a good education and wish to go a school that is known for great professors and an engaging learning experience. UF initially seemed like the most “reputed” university out of the three (considering US News university rankings) but I have heard that getting internships and jobs while staying in Gainesville is a lot harder. Northeastern despite having apparently better job opportunities is also the costliest. ASU also seems like a good choice but the other two universities are ranked higher overall.
Any advice on which university I can choose would really help.
Thanks!
