<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I am a current student at Stony Brook University in NY State. While the university is the best in the state for computer science out of the SUNY schools, I do not like the location as it lacks social life.</p>
<p>So my question is, can you please name the best state cs/math schools in other states?</p>
<p>I like Pennsylvania and New Jersey states, but it could be other states, too, as long as you can give me the information for it. Thanks.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Georgia Tech</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, PA</p>
<p>UC-Berkeley, top three in both.</p>
<p>And ... UCLA, UIUC, Michigan, Wisconsin, UT-Austin, U of Washington.</p>
<p>Why are you asking for state school in states you don't live in? It's not like they're any cheaper than privates.</p>
<p>Ok, so my original request was a school with the named departments but also with a good social life / things available around. Some comments for what you named would be helpful. Thanks. :)</p>

<p>Uhm, I could file for residence after living there for a while? And they are somewhat cheaper, aren't they? Carnegie Mellon, for example, is more expensive than UC-Berkeley.</p>
<p>Psionic...It isn't that easy.You have to have permanent establishment,show financial independence...etc.</p>
<p>I am aware of that. I know it isn't easy. But I'll handle it. I would still like to do it, so I need information. Thanks.</p>
<p>Just for the record, Carnegie Mellon is a private U.</p>
<p>Wisconsin would be near the top for combined CS/Math/social life</p>
<p>And Wisc. is cheaper OOS than UC-Berkeley. Quite a few state schools will come in around $30K OOS, vs. $40- 50k for a private. I think Berkeley and Michigan are closer to $40k, which some privates will be competitive with (e.g. Rice).</p>
<p>Do not count on getting resident status. It is very, very difficult to change status after you start. Most schools have a page that addressess residency questions.</p>
<p>You can't get in-state tuition unless you can prove you didn't go to the state for educational reasons. So no, unless you work there for about a year beforehand, you won't get the discount. And when you factor in the scholarships, most privates are cheaper than out-of-states.</p>

<blockquote> <p>You can't get in-state tuition unless you can prove you didn't go to the state for educational reasons. I see. That's not important, though.</p>
<p>So no, unless you work there for about a year beforehand, you won't get the discount. I have a friend who has experience in the status stuff.</p>
<p>And when you factor in the scholarships, most privates are cheaper than out-of-states. Well, ~$26/yr vs ~$50/yr is a huge difference, so I don't see how I can agree.</p> </blockquote>

<p>More answers to my original question, please? And if you have personal experience w/ the university, please include it, as that's more helpful than just names.</p>
<p>Have you considered UMCP? My son is starting there in the fall...same double major.</p>
