A lot of the plus’s for Purdue sound big, but 80K for a good CS school is actually low in some cases. RPI, for example, has an average starting salary of CS at 90K. To me, the cons seem a lot worse.
That graduation rate for CS is very scary to me as well, and the number of weed out classes point to a really terrible academic experience. Tough is not always better - it could just as much be bad instruction. The CS schools I know may have tough work, but the average grade in classes isn’t ever a C - usually closer to a B. Funding and buildings CS are really just window dressing for departments unless you’re looking for every little minute difference in research, which most students won’t even notice. I think a lot of students would have a very bad time there. For @HardOREasy, it sounds like a better fit, but a very specific fit.
