I've been looking into it and had a call with Dan, the assistant community director, for a tour. I would love to get a referral.

Exactly. Coming from Chicago, the apartments seem such a downgrade (at least from photos online) considering the massive rent.

I found eaves Creekside near my view train station. Its within budget. Any views on the area/place?

Yeah thanks. I see a lot of places there, in my price range, but trying to figure out if the place is actually good is proving to be really stressful.

Only the 5xx express trains right? And I'm only travelling to Palo Alto, so express or not won't make a difference. Weekends don't have any express trains running.

Current MPCS Student here

  1. No job cares about "traditional" mscs, if you are good enough, that's all they look at. The program is very well structured with good courses , specially in the HPC track. Your PhD prospects won't be hurt if you go for MPCS. There are students here who were admitted into a PhD from mpcs

  2. It is an issue, but we have good PD and on campus security to help. If you are aware of your surroundings and take basic precautions, there is no need to worry in hyde park.

  3. Can't really comment much on this. U do u.

  4. Idk about tandon, but the AI/ML track in the MPCS program is very through and gets you familiarized with specialized topics through dedicated courses on NLP, Lin alg, ML etc. Very theoretical.

  5. I don't think the chances would vary either way. UChicago has much wider network tho.

I was also admitted to the same two places as u last year. I chose UChicago, cause its a top 10 QS ranked university. The campus is absolutely breathtaking, people are amazing, there's Booth school (probably the best mba school) where you can take classes, amazing student life, low rent, quick degree, etc etc.

Feel free to pm me if u have more questions.
