I have been admitted to Duke and Purdue, both funded, for CS PhD. I am finding it very hard to reach a final decision.
Duke is way above Purdue in over-all ranking while Purdue(19) is higher than Duke(25) in CS ranking. The adviser at Duke is better suited for me.
Can anyone help me out? Does private schools provide better opportunities than public ones? Also Duke’s CS department is smaller than Purdue’s. Which one is better?
