<p>I am about to graduate from UTexas undergrad EE specializing in Communication/Networking. I am planning to go to graduate school right afterward. These are the school I am choosing from:</p>
<p>UC San Diego
Rice
Arizona State U
USC
Texas A&M</p>
<p>Right now I have narrow it down to UCSD and Rice. (I would have to pay out of state for UCSD)</p>
<p>I was wondering which is a better place in term of faculty, classes they offer, location, jobs after graduating.</p>
<p>I just want to do a the non-thesis master program.</p>
<p>I have talked to my professors, and all of them say UCSD cause they have a good department, and there are a lot of telecom companies in San Diego area. </p>
<p>I would really appreciate it if you could give me some stats, or insight, regarding this department in those schools? </p>
<p>Are there more telecom companies in houston or San Diego?</p>
