Comp Sci: Colorado Boulder or Pitt?

<p>As the title suggests, I'm interested in Computer Science as a major and I've narrowed down my choice of colleges to the University of Colorado at Boulder and the University of Pittsburgh. Pitt is instate, and I didn't get any financial aid for Colorado besides loans so it would cost significantly more to go there. I've visited Pitt and I love the campus, but I've been trying to find out more information about who employs people from the three schools before I enroll. </p>

<p>Pitt gave me some information on their Co-Ops and said 86% of students in a co-op go on to work for the company when they graduate. Colorado simply said 95% of All their graduates are either employed or going into higher education 6 months after they graduate. </p>

<p>I really want to go to Pitt, and the only thing keeping me from enrolling is that I'm worried I'll have trouble finding a job after I graduate. Am I just being paranoid, or should I seriously consider going to Colorado over Pitt? Would I be significantly more likely to get a job at Colorado as opposed to Pitt, or are they both probably about the same?</p>

<p>Go to Pitt. You love the school and they gave you money, it is in a major city so it would be hard to imagine that Boulder students get more jobs than those who go to school in Pittsburgh. Don’t go into debt imagining something that is 4 years in the future that may not be a problem. Good luck!</p>

<p>I’m with Lakemom. You will do fine coming out of Pitt.</p>

<p>Thank you both for the input. Think I’m going to enroll tomorrow or Friday (not just because of your posts, but they helped :))</p>

<p>Good luck, exploding. Glad I could help…a little.</p>
