UT Dallas vs UT Arlington - which is better for CS OPT jobs?

Admitted to both UTD and UTA for MS CS. UTD has a stronger reputation in DFW tech, but UTA costs less. Looking mainly at post-graduation job placement and OPT-to-H1B conversion rates. Anyone from either school share their experience?

UTD hands down for DFW job market. Especially if you are targeting Texas Instruments, AT&T, or the many healthcare tech companies here. The alumni network is strong.

UTA is cheaper and the engineering faculty is solid. For CS specifically, UTD has an edge in industry connections.
