For new grads who went straight to MCS, has the program offered you better chances at internships and jobs after? I know experience is very key for professional degrees so I'm just curious if this is a good fit for me as a new grad.
Thanks!
I recently got into both of these programs, and I'm trying to understand which is the better path for me. For context, UIUC is way cheaper, but it is the MCS program, and it seems the UMich program is generally better with more options for pivoting and perhaps more quality in the program. I really like everything about the UMich program, except for the cost. It's very expensive, and I know there are funding opportunities, but I've also heard that they are very hard to get. For context, this is a 60k (in state) vs 180k difference if I receive no funding, mostly through loans, so I would like to hear another person's perspective. My current goal is a job at the end, and I don't have visa-related barriers (citizen). Since the current focus is a job, I'm mostly concerned on if the MCS program is even worth the 60k and if its treated differently by employers, or if the better name of Michigan is worth the cost and recruitment opps.
Thanks!
