Hi everyone,

I’d like some opinions, please. Which do you think is a better choice between Carnegie Mellon Qatar for Computer Science and NUS (National University of Singapore) for Mechanical Engg. I’ve got a 25% scholarship at CMUQ. For the rest, I’ve applied for interest free loans from qatar foundation. At NUS, I’m still waiting for their scholarship decision. I’m applying for their financial aid in the mean time. There too, ill probably have to sign some kind of bond. Which do you think is a better university, education wise? And which country do you think will have better, more interesting employment options?

I know the SCS at CMU Pittsburgh is very highly regarded but will the Qatar Campus have the same quality of education, and will I have the same (kind of) opportunities?

P.S. I’m an international student.

Thanks!
