<p>Hi, I was recently accepted in a MS/PSM biotechnology programs at both worcester polytechnic institute and northeastern. I didn't get much in the way of funding but I was wondering if anybody had advice on which way I should. I plan on continuing my education and getting a phd. I'm a first generation college student and just looking for any helpful advice. Thanks in advance guys and gals.</p>
<p>I know that northeastern is a non-thesis degree and wpi is thesis based. Also wpi works on a “quarterly” term. So I am unsure whether that is good or bad. Worcester is a better location for me but northeastern seems more state of the art. Anyone?</p>
<p>Well I guess everyone is staying “confidential” with their opinions.</p>
<p>If no one answers, it’s because they don’t know. Those are two very specific programs, and the majority of people here are involved in ph.d programs, not masters. We can give you our totally uninformed opinions if you want. I don’t like Northeastern because I have to bike through that area and the undergrads seem annoying. My cousin goes to WPI in undergrad robotics and she likes it. There you go.</p>
