@Pushkarr01 Thanks a lot for the help. But one of my friends who is currently in UTD complains that it is overcrowded and thus it becomes difficult to get an internship or part time job. Considering these factors isn't it beneficial to choose UIC or IITC over NEU and UTD as these two are situated in Chicago where jobs and internships are ample and the class size is also small. What do you think? @aashube3190 @kunal1995

Hi akshay
1)If you would like to go for more technical side - Then Neu is the best also it has a advantage of coop program, plus Boston has good opportunities.
2) UTD is good
 My friends who is in Tamu pursuing MIS program said that UTD's ITM curriculum is best than ours also dallas is considered good for jobs.
3) you have good chances of getting admit from UIC
Considering all aspects including costs
I would say
NEU>UTD>UIC>IIT>Stevens

Tams A · Answer

Yes it is true that class is large in utd. Which leads to More competition. UIC & IIT has small class size, having said that Chicago also has 4-5 universities Which at last comes to competitiveness for jobs
But yeah UIC is anyway good option to choose.

I agree with @Pushkarr01 
I would like to add the NEU is more research oriented. Coming to MIS i would suggest UIC (hopefully you get admit ) since it is good for jobs and curriculum is also more refined. I would not prefer Stevens. I don't know much about program in IIT chicago but with scholarship you can save some money.
