MS MIS @UofA vs MS ITM @UTD.

Question

UofA fee is $22k/sem, total 3 sems, so $66k. But if i can get a GA/TA then it will be $9k/sem.

UTD fee 1st year $17k (50% scholarship) , 2nd yr $31k but i also heard getting a on campus job is hard which would mean ill have to take care of the living expenses for 2yrs ($12k approx) , so total $60k

But interms of job perspective everyone is saying uni reputation doesnt matter. And how many people receive GA/TA in UofA? 
Can someone guide me on which uni should i chose? Please add you opinions if im miscalculating anything here ( my first priority is job)

When will they announce GA/TA? Is it post joining and on boarding?

akshay K · Answer

If you can afford 66k plus 15k living go for Eller. Almost 60L. It would be better to go with a confirmed GA offer though

UofA? University of arizona?

Riddhima Maheshwari · Answer

Go with University of arizona.. 💥 there is not much fees difference if you consider worst case scenario.. 
UTD ITM is full of indians, which makes it hard to get an assistantship.. so you can't depend on it..

Riddhima Maheshwari · Answer

Exactly.. and university of arizona>UTD in ranking and in business school.. Eller is a prestigious one..

Siva Kesava Reddy · Answer

Choosing any of them is fine

So go for affordable one
