Disclaimer: this blog doesn't have to do anything with competitive programming.

I may have the chance to study in Russia next year. I am willing to pursue a master's degree in big data and data mining. I can apply to most universities like ITMO, MIPT, HSE, Bauman, Innopolis, Saint Petersburg, ...

I want to take your opinion on which universities are best in this case. can you please provide an ordering, or give your advice.

Happy New Year!
