I’m an international student, admitted into Texas A&M, U of Minn-Twin Cities, RIT and UMass Amherst. (and SJSU, but I don’t really prefer that). I’m interested in doing research at the undergrad level, & looking to minor in some liberal arts course (not sure which). I’m looking for a liberal, creative atmosphere with intellectual vibes.
As of now I’ve received $20k scholarship from RIT and $12k from Mass. I’ve received admission in UMass in “Undeclared-Engineering Track”, so I’m a bit apprehensive, but I’ve heard it’s not that hard to switch into CompSci after freshman year.
RIT’s co-op program appeals to me, as does SJSU’s proximity to Silicon Valley. But the other two universities also have great figures in terms of graduates getting good jobs.
Which would be great for me in this situation? Anything to add to the discussion is appreciated.
