MSc from Oxford, then what?

Thank you all for your replies!

Laylah, I understand what you’re saying, and I have already added these costs to my calculations. However, I was trying to assess the value of the Oxford MSc degree and find out how “effective” it will be in getting me a PhD position in a top US institution.

On another note, I received an offer from McGill (also master’s in computer science). I will most likely be given some funding. But disregarding that, do you think that a computer science master’s degree from McGill is comparable to one from Oxford? One thing I like about McGill’s program is that its a 2 year program (which I think would give me more time to do better research).
