请求学长学姐讲讲UCDavis的master CS的情况和NEU at Seattle CS的情况

我的背景是CS的海本, 人不聪明, 学习新东西比较费劲, 但还算努力吧. 现在打算读master, 读master是以找工作为导向的. 中了UCD的master CS ad和NEU at seattle master CS ad, 苦恼去哪一家. 虽然表面看上去这两家有差距. 但是因为个人原因比较倾向呆在seattle, 因为家人在这里而且本人的个人能力较差, 如果独自去加州, 有些害怕. 在地里没有看到太多关于UCD CS的介绍情况. 能否请学长学姐行行好, 抽空给些指点呢?
UCD我比较关心的问题有以下几点:
1. 在UCD 平常生活费用如何, 大概在什么范围? 比如比较安全地区离学校近或有公共交通可到达地方的房租价格如何(单人房和别人合租都行)?
2. 平常买菜之类的需要开车吗(就考虑买菜等基本的生活需要就行, 本人比较宅, 可以不出去逛街或者玩的)? 公共交通方便吗? 因为去大概不会买车.
3. 学校上课的workload重不重呢? 我看master有三种选项: thesis, project, exam. 哪一种比较好呢(比较容易过)? 在我自己看来我比较想选project, 但是不知道会不会特别难? 学长学姐推荐哪一种呢? 我看了学校的网页, 每个quater至少12个学分, 那就要选3门课, 可是网页给出project的example只有每个quater两门课, 也就是8个学分, 是不是example不完全呢? 每个quater12个学分的workload是否会很辛苦? 还是和选什么课有关系呢?
4. 之前看过一个帖子说UCD master找TA容易, 这是真的吗? 如果是真的该什么时候申请?
5. 假期多吗? 平常想抽空回趟家.

关于NEU at Seattle, 我之前在地里看了些帖子, 了解的情况是好像找工作情况也还不错. 听说有挺多去Amazon实习. 还有去Facebook的. 我想知道最后找工作的时候能找到amazon, facebook的多吗? 好像学校上课每学期不能超过2门课? 不知道workload如何? 呆在Seattle我整个人都会安心些, 有点担心如果将来家人去加州发展, NEU的学校牌子没有UCD的好(虽然我理解master找工作主要靠自己).

我明白鱼和熊掌不可兼得, 但是真的到做决定的时候就不知如何是好了. 所以想多去了解一下两所学校的情况. 但愿大家能给些帮助, 感激不尽!

顶起来，感觉这个学校消息好少

amazon和 facebook 难度不在一个档次上吧 我觉得不太适合放一起比较
lz CS的海本 是哪个学校的呢？

以下是NEU的官方介绍 感觉比较适合转专业的

另外送你个邮箱c.lewis@neu.edu
这应该是Claire Lewis, Assistant Director of Admissions 的邮箱
我觉得你问问她应该靠谱一点
