Question

Tution fee factor is not a major issue. UMCP is a conditional admit where i have to take a writing course in 2nd semester ( does it impact visa acceptance? ) #Cybersecurity

Aakash Mudigonda · Answer

Just the fee is enough for choosing UMCP over USC

Sai Ram · Answer

I think umcp is reputed and the fee is half what you need to pay in usc. My opinion is the output would be same wherever you go.  So better go for umcp.

Sai Ram · Answer

Well location wise it's not like you have a family at college park. You're moving from India to us. I don't think it would be hard to relocate. As long you find a great job.

Dhanraj Chavan · Answer

I would prefer UMCP as they provide professional master's in cybersec.

Pls tell me how much does location matter ?? Yes USC has better location which offer more job opportunities post graduation. But won't i get similar opportunities at UMCP ( As i heard we apply online on LinkedIn )

Pranay Bhamidipati · Answer

But i spoke to one student there he said career fairs are not that useful for us because 90% companies there come to hire us citizens only as they require security clearance.

Pranay Bhamidipati · Answer

Yeah fees is less and better ciriculam too. But what about job location?
