Clemson, TAMU, or Cal Poly?

<p>Which of these schools would be best for getting a CS degree? Getting hired is important as well! These 3 schools are within my budget and I have been accepted to them already.</p>

<p>They are all good schools with strong regional reputations and connections. If you would ultimately like to work and live in California, then Cal Poly would probably be the best choice. For Texas, it would be TAMU. For the southeast, it would be Clemson. Each probably has a solid CS program and is probably quite successful at job placement within their respective regions. So consider where you might want to work after school.</p>

<p>I have been trying to pick a school based on where I want to end up and it makes finding the right college a lot harder. I suppose I wouldn't mind ending up in the south after school. And I guess I once I have some experience employers won't much look at my college.</p>

<p>Just go to the Computer Science field (look for the Engineering heading first). You can see the employers and median salary ($60K).</p>

<p>Give some thought to the emphasis each school's comp sci dept has. What kinds of research etc are they doing? Have you visited? When you did or do, what are the things the comp sci people are promoting? Your interests vs their interests might give you a clue as to the best fit for you. Just a thought.</p>

<p>TAMU or Cal Poly</p>

<p>So Clemson is probably the weakest in CS of the three?</p>

<p>bump. I'm leaning towards Clemson since I like the location and they're giving me a good deal. If their CS dpt isn't that great i'd like to know.</p>

<p>This should give you some idea about the focus of the Clemson Comp Sci program. Have you visited the school & talked to the Comp Sci Dept?
