I take it you have admission to both schools? If you are after a Ph.D. then it really does not matter too much where the school is but, as @juillet says, the research advisor you have. Northwestern has plenty of good faculty and Irvine is a good school as well. If it is a M.S. then thequestion is whether the job placement is better in one program than the other. You should be able to ask that question, particularly if the university is expecting you to self-fund your studies.
