<p>I am an international student, who got both MS admission from UCI and Dartmouth. And I may continue to pursue phd degree right after I receive MS degree.</p>
<p>Why should I choose UCI:
1. Because of the location is pretty good, with so many excellent IT company at CA. If it turns out that I want to get into industry instead of academia, it is more easy to find a nice job at CA.
2. Besides, UCI CS department is a much larger than dartmouth.</p>
<p>Why should I choose Dartmouth:
1.The cost of tuition is much lower than UCI. As a student from a middle class family, this seems quite attractive.
2. What's more, as an international student, Dartmouth undoubtedly shares larger reputation than UCI. This might help me a little when I go back to my country.</p>
