Hello

I graduated last year from India with a B.Arch degree. My interest lies in sustainable design but i also want to choose a city where there are plenty of job opportunities. I am considering University of Illinois Urbana Champaign and University of Washington Seattle for M.Arch 2. Listed below is the information I have so far gained about the two programs. 

1- University of Washington, Seattle

Specialization - Sustainable Systems and Design - will be mentioned in the transcript. 
Certificates - Design Computing, Lighting Design
Internship program
Specialized Studios
Located in Seattle - good location

Cons - It is 7 semesters long. My undergrad was of 5 years 10 semesters long, I am not very inclined to study 7 more semesters. 

2- University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

Located near Chicago
2 year 4 semester course
they hold annual career fair
the course might become STEM - finding job as an international student would be easier
They have LEED course as elective

Cons - Have a high performance building concentration but its not formal - wont be mentioned in the transcript

I'm looking for information from recent graduates or current students from either of these three universities on the design studios, real-life project exposure during the program, internship opportunities and job prospects after graduation. Any information regarding this will be very useful to help me make an informed decision. 

Thanks!
