Hi guys,
I have been admitted to both GWU (Master of Science in Finance), and UMD Smith school (Master of Quantitative Finance, a newer program built upon existing UMD Master of Finance program).
GWU: 48 credits, $2145 per credit, 25% scholarship
UMD: 36 credits, $2115 per credit, $5000 scholarship
Tuition-wise after the scholarships, both schools would be indifferent to me, but living cost around GWU would be around twice that of UMD, esp. housing.
I am an international student, and hoping to find a job as soon as possible, including part-time job, internship, and full-time job. Classes at GWU are usually held in the evening, and only a few days a week, while at UMD classes are held in the morning and afternoon.
Any input is highly appreciated, esp. with regards to the job prospects for an international student.
Thank you!

Living cost around GWU is insane! Personally I was also very apprehensive of going to GWU but I have been pleasantly surprised with the name recognition it carries with the employers! The career center itself is not something outstanding when it comes to looking for a job and there is limited help when reaching out to the employers or making connections. But on your you can reach out to the alumni, many of whom are well placed and willing to help! In terms of part-time jobs there are plenty on GW campus but it will take time to find one. From what I gather UMD also has plenty of on-campus part-time jobs.
and the afternoon/evening classes just give you the whole day at your disposal. I mean the schedule is crazy amazing at GW.

That's good to hear, thanks! Between the two, which do you think is better for international students seeking full-time jobs after graduation? I think as a public university, UMD tends to have more local students than GWU due to lower tuition fees, and its huge, bigger size than GWU means more competition right? Also, most companies around DMV tend to tie with federal govt, and even if they don't, they still need to prioritize US residents over international applicants, so do you also think that going to GWU gives better chance in landing a full-time job after graduation?
