I wanted to know how are the Computer Science majors at UW-Madison and UMASS Amherst. I’ve gotten into the honours college for UMASS Amherst. Is it worth it?
Price of each?
What region do you want to work in after graduation?
They have the same costs.
I wanna work either in California or places more New York.
I’d go with UMass Honors then. CS is pretty good there. Try to find SahilC’s thread on the UMass forum, he’s currently a freshman, plans to major in CS I think, and got into Honors.
If you go with Umass Honors, deposit for housing ASAP since they have too many requests and not enough space, and if you’re invited to a “RAP”, join immediately as they fill up very very quickly. (RAP = guaranteed Honors Housing).
MYOS1634, are you sure that RAPS guarantee honors housing? Does it guarantee honors housing in the new dorms?
It guarantees honors housing but apparently they’ve had too many requests and there’s a new “honors housing” unit being opened outside of the new dorms.
Personally I’d pay the housing deposit quickly and pay the housing deposit elsewhere, so that if the university placed me in the “wrong” dorms, I’d have a Plan B. It’d frankly suck to be outside the Commonwealth Dorms (and I’d want a quiet floor or Substance free floor.)
I would say go to Wisconsin.
