4/25 ucla ee guy, did you get anything housing info with your acceptance
letter? The only thing I got was a paper called "UCLA Graduate
Student Housing Options" and my URSA code.
\_ That's the only thing I got. I'm mailing mine in soon to see if
I can get into one of those grad student dorms. Otherwise I'm
going to go down there in july and find a place.
BTW, money isn't a big issue for me since my company will
most likely pick up the tab regardless of where I go. The
problem is the number of hours I'd have to work. I don't
want to spend to many hours working since I won't be able
to study and learn properly.
At stanford, I'd have to work 25 hrs/wk to get full tuition
reimbursement. If I go to UCLA, its less than 10 hrs/wk,
which is much easier (no critical customer bugs or action
items get assigned to an engineer who is 10 hrs/wk or less,
but 25 hrs/wk is practically full time at more companies).

\_ go to ucla. You're not going to be able to work 25 hrs/wk
at Stanford. Despite what people say classes there are
not THAT easy (I've taken a few). Sure the grades are
inflated, but you still have to work pretty hard.
\_ What makes you say UCLA classes are any easier than
Stanford classes?
\_ the author did not make such statement, nor did
he imply it. Perhaps he assumed that 25hrs/wk
would have a negative effect on his school work
hence it would be better to go to ucla.
\_ what's the cost of UCLA Master's?
\_ the same as any other public school.
\_ much cheaper than Stanfurd. |
