Hi roboticist,
As the university acceptance letters are rolling out, the biggest question is which university to choose?
Now I know this decision can feel life changing, so my best advice here is to ignore the ranking. In my opinion, rankings have an influence of PR and marketing.
You should be thinking about what matters most to you and what your plans are? Are you planning to go for a job after your masters in Robotics or are you planning to go for a PhD? What about the cost of education and living (it is a shock at how expensive living in US can be depending on where you are coming from.)?
If you are thinking about pursuing a PhD in Robotics, you might like this article by Women in Robotics that talks about various aspects of PhD like an advisor.
In my latest video, I talk about the different factors you should consider AND yes it is a bit of work. You will have to reach out to seniors to gather specific information about factors that matter to YOU.

While there are no stupid questions, you can ask SMARTER questions. Don't ask is University A better than B. Ask how many robotics companies to the career fair at University A? And ask this to a person who actually went to university A cause they experienced it.
I also did a live sessions answering some audience questions. Incase you missed it, here is a recording...
