[TriLUG] OT: Local Masters programs...

[Maria C Winslow]

I went to UNC in CS. It's a great school, but you should keep in mind that 
they are perhaps the most theoretical of the local schools. They are also 
much more interested in PhD candidates than they are in people who just want 
a masters. They are also very heavy into graphics, augmented reality, etc., 
which may not be what you are looking for (and hard to get a job in). The 
good news is that there is (or at least was when I was there) barely a 
Windows machine in the whole place. Unix workstations as far as the eye can 
see, plus a scattering of Macs.
