<p>Oh, the burgeoning field that is CS! </p>

<p>Some of you familiar with the topic of CS in this forum will note a previous thread that had a student denounce the program. I was accepted to engineering and applied science for CS and love WashU. Although WashU is kind of thought of as a "great humanities" school. Although, programs are strong across the board so sometimes this is unfair. I'm trying to decide between Purdue and WashU. Since there are no undergrad rankings, I saw that WashU's average salary is 8K higher. </p>

<p>Thoughts? </p>

<p>Any number of things could account for that 8K difference in initial salary. Take it with the same grain of salt with which you consider USNWR rankings. I think you have reason to confirm for yourself that some of the problems that student mentioned have been addressed already with increased institutional resources by WashU. Second thing I would consider is the difference in cost to you. You haven’t told us.</p>
