Urgently Need Advice on University Decision
So for a bit of context, I'm an international student and I've been accepted to Imperial College London for their 4 year Meng program in materials science and engineering, and I've also gotten into UWisconsin-Madison in the US for nuclear engineering directly. I've been fond of fission reactor analysis and design for a while, but I'm also interested in getting into fusion.
I'm confident that I wish to pursue nuclear engineering directly as a degree - but there's the dilemma. I think that with a degree at Imperial, I might have more employment opportunities especially internationally, but that may also be limited since it's not exactly a nuclear engineering degree, so I'm not sure how much it would actually help for employment in the field. Also I'm not sure how many opportunities I would have to actually build my resume with nuclear-related activities of my interest. I've heard that materials science at imperial isn't a very well taught course, so again I'm doubtful of whether I should really go for it
With the US, I'm aware their nuclear industry is better grounded, and maybe I'd have more meaningful opportunities for internships etc. at UWisconsin. But again, the debate is whether I should value a non-direct course from a more renowned college or a course that's specific to my interests at a less known college. Also, how would the two choices affect my employment opportunities both in the US and abroad? If anyone could tell me more about UW's nuclear engineering program as well I'd highly appreciate it.
I'm really not sure which one to choose right now. I've heard UW's program is well-established, while I'm not sure how good Imperial's program is since I can't really find anyone online who's done the mat. science with nuclear engineering option
