With CS, prestige is overrated and unnecessary. Virtually all of your real education will end up being on the job, and that’s what’s actually going to get you ahead in your career. The school gets you an entry level job and nothing more. In fact, in my current job, my boss never even asked about my education. I have one, but the question never came up. It’s best to stay in-state and go with something less expensive. The more scholarship money, the better. Being debt free means you can focus your energy on your new job without financial problems distracting you.
