Hi guys,
I have been accepted by Purdue CS for its MS degree and by Carnegie Mellon University for its Software Engineering program (MSIT-SE). I am a little confused now becuase of the followings:

1) CMU has better ranking and reputition than Purdue but it has no funding opportunities (up to my knowledge).
2) CMU's master is a single year master.
3) CMU's master is a professional master and I don't know its future from academic prospectives (what if I want to apply for a PhD at MIT or Stanford next year)?

So, please, if anyone has any information that can be helpful, let me know.
