Help Me Choose: UC Irvine vs SJSU for Software Engineering 馃殌

Hey everyone! I'm in a bit of a dilemma and would really appreciate your thoughts 馃檹

I鈥檝e received admits from:

UC Irvine - MSWE (15 months)

San Jose State University - MSSE (2 years)

Here鈥檚 my situation:

UCI has better degree value and part-time opportunities, but the fee is significantly higher and the program is shorter (15 months) 鈥 which could be either an advantage (faster graduation) or a pressure point (more intense).

SJSU has lower fees and a 2-year duration, but part-time jobs are harder to find, and I'm not sure how the program's brand compares in the long run.

Given the current job market conditions, I want to make the smartest choice considering both ROI and job prospects.

Would love to know what you鈥檇 choose and why. Feel free to vote and drop a comment!
