Basically, I’m in between choosing Aalto or CUHK. Aalto is in Finland, Helsinki. CUHK is in Hong Kong. Both are Top100 overall and Top100 in my field (CUHK is slightly better in rankings).
I have a 100% scholarship for both bachelors and masters at Aalto, which is pretty dope. I will be studying “Computational Engineering” there. I’m planning to do my master’s degree on Machine Learning, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence or Human-Computer Interaction (Aalto offers these).
On the other hand, I have a 75% scholarship from CUHK (only for a 4-year bachelor). I will be studying “Artificial Intelligence: Systems and Technologies” there. I know that CUHK is especially known for its CS department. They rank 13 in AI worldwide. 38 in CS overall.
I know that both are top-notch institutions and I’ll most likely be happy in both. But, which one do you think has an edge?
P.S. I’m an international student from Turkey, Istanbul.
