Better for Computer Science

<p>UNC-Chapel Hill or NC State
I've gotten in to both.</p>

<p>As a transfer student? (Usually freshmen are looking in April.)</p>

<p>It depends.</p>

<p>Both are very respectable schools for CS; UNC-CH usually appears slightly higher in the various rankings. Both are in the Research Triangle, so location for jobs and internships won’t be a big factor between them.</p>

<p>NCSU does have ABET accreditation in CS and computer engineering, so it may be preferable if you want to go into a niche area where ABET accreditation matters (e.g. patent law), or take additional hardware type courses.</p>

<p>You can, of course, check their course catalogs and degree requirements to see which one offers the CS courses and curriculum that you are most interested in taking.</p>

<p>You may want to find out if the schools’ career centers will give you lists of what recruiters come, and CS major graduate career surveys.</p>

<p>For many students, the schools are close enough academically that other factors like cost and general campus environment will be the bigger factors.</p>
