Hi everyone. I need help deciding on a program...

I got into a few programs in the US for MSc Software Engineering & MSc Computer Science with Software Engineering track. I have tried over the past few days to decide on which one to attend, but I'm not making a headway. I have done a ton of research, read reviews on reddit, rate my professor and so on. I just want input from anyone who is or knows someone currently enrolled in one of these schools to provide me with more "real" information, you know, what It's actually like attending any one of these schools, particularly as a Nigerian student. 

The schools are :

Bradley University, Peoria Illinois.

Kennesaw State University, Georgia.

Loyola University, Chicago.

University of Houston- Clear Lake

Towson University, Maryland.

Thank you.

Ubah1:

Thank you so much.
No, dont do that. That will raise an eyebrow. Your sister as sponsor is enough. Find a good reason why your sister is sponsoring. Like i said earlier, it all depends on V.O. If what you filled earlier is genuine, no need change anything. Just go for your interview and hope for the best.

GraceofGodfollo:


You are a wise man.

Same lady interviewed me, she only asked two questions, although i was already distabilized befor getting there, she didnt give me the opportunity to show my toefl or my waiver from the school. Well am just going to relax for now and differ my admission, i want to rewrite another toefl and score higher, and probably get a travel experience. I know am going to study come spring, my dreams cant die like that.
Dont worry we will make it. Saying thanks to all who have always been of help here @ Lagosismyhome, @ inperiuxxx and all i cant mention

fairheart:
You should never have done that. And you shouldn't disclose you did. You were there to visit. How did you manage to get GED with a visiting visa anyway?

Haryormeedey:


Gurus in the house, please say something on this abeg

mzomaks:


You would need your confirmation NO so no. plus it is always better to be untime last minute is not the best.

winterstorm:


No, you should submit it days -if not a week - before your interview.

Haryormeedey:


If the assistantship cover your cost of attendance, then You might not need a sponsor. Buh if the assistantship doesn't cover the full COA, then you will need a sponsor who will be paying the rest.

Me:I hope to begin a doctoral program in mechanical engineering, where I will be specializing in thermal and fluid sciences. I will also be working under Prof Shankar Naranayan of the Energy Systems Laboratory where we will be working on the causes and mitigation of instabilities in fluid flow through micro channels for electronic cooling and this system is based on Vapour compression Cycle.
VO: what will you be doing with the PhD?
Me: I hope to come back and impart on the younger generations as I lecture at the University of Nigeria . Also when I went for the international Physics Olympiad,I noticed that Nigerians are lacking behind in terms of experimental validation of theory and I hope to contribute in proffering solution to this problem on my return. Finally, I also hope to join the National Center for Energy Research and Development on my return.
VOstill continues typing like he is a court clerk) Are you married?
Me:No
VO:Do you hope to get married in the next one or two years

Please help me out,after filling my ds-160form,I scheduled for appointment at abj next month,I got to discover my ds-160 confirmation number was different from my ds-160 appointment appointment(it’s my previous ds-160 number appearing during my last interview)

Please,how can I sort this out immediately,since I was told both Ds-160 number and the one of apppintment must be the same ?

click "update profile" on your visa appointment page and update it with the new D's 160 number
