<p>Hello guys,
I'm an international student admitted into Computer Engineering at both University of California, Riverside and University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Besides admission, UCR has awarded me a $10,000 scholarship whereas UMBC has given me none.
However, the scholarship at UCR only makes it's expenses equal to UMBC. I am stuck here. A UC campus has a good reputation.And for a Computer engineer, opportunities are more prevalent in California than in Maryland. UMBC, on the other hand is not very much reputed.
UCR has great cultural diversity. I have no idea of UMBC's diversity.
Moreover, my friend who's presently a sophomore at UMBC has told me straight away that I should opt for a UC campus (Donno exactly, why he said that !)
Please anybody suggest me about making a choice between these two colleges. The pros and cons at both the universities are also welcome to be shared with me, if at all somebody knows something.
:D </p>
