USC or UIUC or BU or UCR

<p>Help me, guys. I hope I can make a wise choice.</p>

<p>I study bioinformatics in college, have some background in biology as well as computer science, but both not so strong.</p>

<p>I have got several offers, but it is hard to choose, and I am trying to make a wise choice as soon as possible.</p>

<p>here are the programs:</p>

<p>Molecular and Computational Biology(<a href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/LAS/biosci/mcb/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.usc.edu/dept/LAS/biosci/mcb/&lt;/a&gt;) at USC
Biophysics and Computational Biology at the University of Illinois(UIUC)(<a href="http://www.life.uiuc.edu/biophysics/)%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.life.uiuc.edu/biophysics/)&lt;/a>,
Bioinformatics at Boston University( <a href="http://www.bu.edu/bioinformatics/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.bu.edu/bioinformatics/&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br>
and GGB (<a href="http://www.genetics.ucr.edu/)at%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.genetics.ucr.edu/)at&lt;/a> UCR. </p>

<p>I think BU and UIUC have better and more faculties than USC, but USC is in a very good place, so I may find a job in industry easier after I graduate. But the stipend for me is the lowest in USC, although I don't think money is very important. As for boinformatics, USC has a better reputation than BU and UCR, because of one great person who is about to retire. UIUC's research is mainly in biophysics, which I have never learnt before.</p>

<p>So , please help me guys. If you were me, which university will you choose. You can say anything you want, and I will be very grateful!</p>
