CS @ ASU-Barrett, Rutgers, Pitt, Clemson

Advice pls on choosing between these options pls for CS? Costs are $20k less per yr for ASU and Rutgers, but all are feasible. Would really like info on strength of CS program and campus vibe. Dd is strong student w high gpa, sats and pretty bummed to be shut out of all her favorite schools. Thanks for any advice.

Asu Barrett is an honors college and I have heard good things about it. There’s a special dorm and perks like smaller classes. Rutgers is an acquired taste. I am an academic and think it’s a great university. You will have to visit and make sure it works for your kid. Large freshmen classes, and CS is something you declare as a sophomore major after some requirements. Check their website.

Both have well known CS programs and are large, busy universities with a lot going on. Tempe and New Brunswick, Nj are very different towns, however. Have you visited either?

Dont know much about the other two . Perhaps someone else can chime in.
