I am a graduate international student from India. I have got offer in both Clemson University and SUNY-Stony Brook for Master of Science (MS) in Electrical Engineering with specialization in Communication and Signal Processing. I have not been offered financial assistance by both. Not yet able to decide which one to go for.

I would like to know what are the relative strengths/weaknesses of these 2 universities, particularly w.r.t.
a) Chances of getting funding at a later stage
b) Opportunities of doing CPT/OPT and after-MS job opportunities
c) Academic environment, especially in Electrical Engineering area
d) Any other area of importance

Also, does proximity of SUNY-Stony Brook to New York City has the advantage over Clemson University in getting internships and jobs?

Finally, any suggestion as to what should be my final destination – Clemson or SUNYSB?
