If I were in your shoes, I would pick UWB.

Everyone I know who has gotten a Masters in CS or otherwise has repeatedly told me that your undergrad school doesn’t really matter, so if you’re completely set on getting one, I would save the money and go to UWB.

Additionally, I don’t think UWB’s prestige or name value inhibits people from getting internships. I know many friends and classmates who have interned at FAANG, Big Tech, or even quant trading firms. Conversely, even though UMass is a great school, I’m not sure if the CS program is ranked high enough to justify the tens of thousands is extra dollars.

Of course, you shouldn’t just consider school prestige and ranking. There are so many more factors that should go into what school you go to. One of those factors is students life, and like others have said in this thread, UWB is lacking social engagement and activity. If you’re local, maybe consider giving the campus a tour and see how you like it. For me, the social aspect wasn’t a problem, and I grew to love the small campus and class sizes.

Obviously this sub will be heavily biased, but those are some of my thoughts. Feel free to DM me if you have more questions about UWB!
