Hi,
I am an international student, getting admitted to both UW Madison and University of Minnesota Computer Science Program. I also get into Honors Program at UW Madison but not in Minnesota. About the tuition, I have to pay about $8500 more to attend UW Madison, which is affordable for my family but is a burden for my parents.
I would like to study Graduate and maybe get a job in US so I might need a lot of internship experience. Is it mean Minnesota’s location is better than Madison’s?
Could anyone give me some opinion between these two schools for my situation?
Thank you
Well, you’re trading off lower price (Minnesota) versus less difficulty getting into the CS major (Wisconsin just asks for at least a C grade in one CS course, while Minnesota asks for a 3.2 GPA in the prerequisites).

If the difficulty of getting into CS major of both colleges does not count, do you think it would worth $8500 to trade the prestige of UW Madison CS and more internship opportunities in Minneapolis?
