I recieve Biology MS offers from NYU and Brandeis. It is difficult for me to chose between them becasue both them a wonderful university. I plan to apply PhD in biological field. So I wonder which one can help me more in something like reseach training, acdemic achievement and recommenedation letter. I think these things would make my PhD application easier and better. Of course, if you think there are something wrong in my view, I will appreciate that you point it out.
Whichever is cheaper. That being said, Manhattan is probably a little easier fit for an international as opposed to Waltham, which is a suburb of Boston. (Based on your writing, I’m assuming that you are an international.)
btw: Bio is way over-subscribed in the US. There are thousands of Bio grads every year (unsuccessful premeds) and few bio jobs. In fact, bio grads probably have the lowest pay of all STEM majors. Academic jobs are even harder to obtain. So, if you are an international, ask each how difficult it will be for you to even obtain a research position.
Good luck.
Did you apply only for an MS, or for a PhD and get offered an MS instead?
What do you want to specialize in as a biologist?
Which research groups at each of these universities are working on topics now that you are interested in? Are any of those groups accepting PhD students?
What do you know about moving into a PhD program from the MS program at either of these universities?
Thank you very much bluebayou! Your words is helpful and I also concern about the career situation of being a biology student. So I may choose bioinformatics as my major direction. It is said that bioinformatic is the eaiest one,among biology field,to get a suitable job.
By the way, yes I am not a America. It seems my english writting skill need to be improved. If it make you difficult to understand, I would feel sorry about that. And if you don’t mind, coulde you please tell me what part of my words lets you realize that?
@Douliumeng - Your writing is easy to understand, but there are a number of errors that a student who was fully educated in the US would not be likely to make. Among others, these errors include subject-verb agreement, plural forms, verb tense, and capitalization. When you do get to your graduate program, take advantage of any Academic English courses that are offered, so that you can continue to improve your writing skills. 
It’s mostly style, OP. But concur with happy mom in that you post was easy to understand, just not 100% grammatically correct.
Thank you both, happymomof1 and bluebayou ！Your answer help me a lot. I didn’t expect that my post will be answered so quickly and patiently.
