Unfortunately, the SIR is due in a few days, yet I’m unable to settle down on a decision 
. I can choose between SJSU (datasci), UMass Amherst (informatics), UC Riverside (datasci), and Virginia Tech (datasci). I was waitlisted at UW Seattle (informatics), Wisconsin-Madison (datasci), and Cal Poly SLO (statistics). I’m open to any advice, whether it’s about academics, student life, or major highlights/lowlights! I hope to not be unemployed in the future but also to not feel miserable at college, so it’s hard to decide where to go. No amount of research makes me feel certain about where to go, so I appreciate any pros/cons/comparisons ! 
Is any of those instate?
Would you commute to SJSU?
What’s your budget and what’s net cost?
Net cost= (tuition, fees, room, board)-(scholarships,grants)
