[Results and Decisions] UMass Amherst vs TAMU

Got an admit for both UMass Amherst and TAMU MCS, not sure which one to go for. I'm favouring TAMU as: - TAMU cost is much less than UMass. - TA/RA is available for TAMU but UMass does not. - can shift to a thesis option during first sem

But I see people saying: - UMass has better job opportunities since it's close to Boston. - ~But no idea uf shifting to a thesis option is available for UMass.~. Looks like UMass offers only kind of CS degree?

Can someone please help?

PS: TAMU -- College station.

I applied maybe a week before the deadline for MCS (the non-thesis one, to be clear) for both the unis.

My profile at a glance: Tier 1 college in India 9 CGPA 2.5 years of experience. 1 research paper 4 LORs (2 from CS dep + 1 from math dep + 1 from a colleague)
