Looking for information and suggestions in finalising my university application.

Question

Hello everyone, I've been accepted to the University of South Dakota (Master of Science in Computer Science) and the University of Houston-Clear Lake(Management Information Systems). Which one is the best?
 
I want to attend the University of Houston-Clear Lake (Ms in Management Information Systems), but I discovered that UHCL is unranked, despite the fact that the university's courses is very good. Does university's ranking really matter? Please help if you have any information or suggestions regarding this.

As you mentioned I think best way to know more about the course and university is by reaching out to the aluminis . I have been doing that from past few weeks .. my only worry is that can a university ranking affect my profile and my job opportunities in the us?

Hi,
Hope you are doing well.
You can compare the curriculums, concentration, electives and location of the particular program offered by the respective universities for which you would want to apply, as they might the most significant factors in your decision-making process. Also, reach out to the alumnis of the program of your choice, on LinkedIn, as some of them might reply to you. Additionally, you can go through the popular rankings websites such 'QS RANKINGS 2022', 'US NEWS RANKINGS 2022', 'TIMES HIGHER EDUCATION RANKINGS 2022' and 'Forbes US University Rankings 2021'. Also, you should consider the factors such as 'Cost of living', 'Year-round weather conditions', 'CPT & OPT opportunities that maybe offered by the university'. Also, you can contact the college representatives via the email id and/or contact number on the respective program page, department page or university website. Hope this helps you to get better clarity than before.
All The Best!!!👍🏻
