Narrowed the options down to two computer science programs: Univerisity of Maryland or Rochester Institute of Technology.
Been accepted at both and cost for us is similar. Now, we’d like to hear Pros and Cons of each.
UMD Pros:
- Very known for its research and would highly benefit someone considering research in undergrad, especially possibly going for a Ph.D.
- Great cybersecurity program and hard to beat connections
RIT Pros:
- Co-op program is very robust there
- Often better for students with more of an artistic kick in CS like game design or even UI/UX stuff
- Very good with robotics as well if you know you’re leaning towards the hardware side
Both great options, congrats!
Not sure if/how this figures in, but do you have to apply for the CS major at these schools?
What field of CS does your child want to go into?
