CS Colleges

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'm a bit young to be really thinking too hard about college right now (I'm 14 years old in the 8th grade; 4 years until college still!). However, I really enjoy computer and website programming/coding and am interested in taking a Computer Science major. I've heard of Georgia Tech (where my oldest brother is attending right now for a CS major), but I was wondering what are the best colleges for getting a Computer Sciences major?</p>

<p>The ones I currently know are:
GA Tech
MIT
Stanford</p>

<p>Any more?</p>

<p>Thanks for the help everyone! I may choose a different thing to major in later on, but for now I want to get a good idea of what to shoot for college-wise.</p>

<p>Thanks again!</p>

<p>THanks for all you guys' help! If I could get in touch with the guy who made IE, I'm not sure he'd even help me much. He's probably busy making another crappy version that will have security flaws every other day. Now maybe the maker of FireFox would help. :) lol j/k</p>

<p>THanks for your lists and the link to the other lists!

<p>lol Firefox sux for developing websites cuz most programming (HTML CSS blah :P) is designed for firefox</p>

8

<p>what i mean was: open the "help" menu of internet explorer and go to "about internet explorer"</p>

9

<p>and u will see where IE is designed</p>

<p>CH121S,</p>

<p>My friend, you have it backwards. IE is usually the culprit for a broken rendering engine, therefore making the web developer have to hack up the code to work in it.</p>

<p>Cool thanks I've been looking at Stanford, MIT, and Cornell. I didn't know Harvard was good in CS. But I guess it's good in everything. Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>I dont know....Ive tried CSS on firefox many times and it doesnt seem to support many of the things i like to do in css and it ends up getting on my nerves :P</p>

14

<p>I'd suggest leaving CC and revisiting the issue in 2 or 3 years...otherwise you will literally collapse waiting for college.</p>

<p>not to take this thread off topic any more, but CHS, suffice to say, none of the browsers really support the <code>standards</code> :D</p>

<p>For undergrad education, Harvey Mudd CS department is very very good.</p>
