which graduate school to choose: buffalo,suny VS lousisana state university

turquoise

i got two offers recently. one is from University
at Buffalo, the state university of new york, master
of urban planning. i was awarded only 3000usd for the
first year of study.
The other is from louisiana state university,
master of landscape architecture. They offered me
6500usd assistanship plus tuition waiver.
I am puzzled which to choose because Louisiana
state university offered me more funding, but it seems
the reputation of Suny,Buffalo is better.. Any
suggestion for me?? by the way, how do u know about
the location??how is Buffalo and what about Baton
Rouge,louisiana ?

Buffalo is a pretty depressing city. The silver lining for planners I suppose is that there are a lot of problems to see first hand.

From what I have gathered, urban planning and landscape architecture, while they do share some similarities, are actually quite different. I think you should probably figure out better which career path is appropriate for you rather than base your decision on the school or location.

I think you might want to figure out what you want to do rather than just getting another degree.
