MS in CS - UTD vs NJIT vs U Louisiana lafayette

[abhisinha]

Hello friends,

I have admits is MS in CS, for Fall 2011, from NJIT, UT Dallas and expecting one from UL Lafayette; all without any aid.
My intent would be go for a PhD (at a top ranked school in US) after the MS and would want to build a research profile during this MS. Which one would you advise me to go for?

Pls judge the schools on-
1. Research (at MS level)
2. Faculty reputation
3. Funding opportunities in later semesters
4. Jobs/Internships etc.

Thanks for the anticipated help.

For jobs and internships, NJIT is best amongst your choices. For initial funding UT Dallas is better. I would not suggest taking up UL Lafayette at all. NJIT and UT Dallas are both comparable in terms of faculties. Hope this helps.

Shweta, why do you think njit is better? You won't get assistantships or even part-time jobs there. I would suggest UT Dallas or U Lafayette - heard that Lafayette gives good scholarships/RA/GA.
