<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I got an admission from drexel university (electrical engineering). It is half RA/half TA.
I had another admission from city university of new york (communication science department). it is full fellowship.</p>
<p>I prefer cuny because one of my friend lives there and i like to be near him (i am an international student). Moreover cuny is full fellowship.</p>
<p>the only thing that i am doubtful about is that i don't know exactly what is the ranking of the cuny. Is it very bad to choose cuny? I mean is cuny's ranking very worse than drexel?</p>
<p>PLEASE HELP ME TO DECIDE</p>
<p>You should look at the sorts of research projects going on at each school and if you’re compatible with the professors there. I was accepted into considerably higher-ranked programs than the one I chose, but my research interests fall right in line with my current advisor, and it’s well worth it. I’ll probably even take an extra year to graduate vs. other schools I had to choose from, but I feel the quality of my research and how enthusiastic I am about doing this work is well worth it.</p>
<p>CUNY is very underrated IMO. Also, a full fellowship relieves so much stress and allows you to be a better student without the worries over finances. I would go to CUNY! And you get to live in NYC!!!</p>
<p>Thank you for your guidance. Actually I have had another admission from northeastern university but they didn’t make funding decision about my application yet. If I become accepted in NEU with financial aid do you think I should go there? I know about the reputation of NEU but I haven’t heard anything about the reputation of CUNY especially communication science department in CUNY. </p>
<p>Is there anybody knows about the reputation of CUNY??</p>
