I would potentially lean towards Tandon if you feel like you need to beef up your programming skills, otherwise, I think it is a toss-up and that you really can't go wrong with either. If you're planning on living close to campus, perhaps look at surrounding neighborhoods of both and see what you feel fits your preferences better. If I had to choose myself, I would go for MAFN because of the small cohort size and faculty. To be fair though, I haven't looked at Tandon's program closely enough. I think to really make a decision that you will be satisfied with, you have to approach it systematically. I would get two pieces of paper, make two columns on each -- one +'s and one -'s -- and simply go through and write down as many things as you can for both programs. Congratulations, and good luck with your decision!</blockquote>
