CSULB v Illinois Tech (Undergraduate CS Major)

Hello everyone,

I am currently trying to decide between CSULB and Illinois Institute of Technology as an undergraduate computer science major). Both colleges have about the same tuition when factoring in the financial aid given so technically it is a negligible factor. I currently reside in southern California. If anyone of you could help me with this decision, that would be great. I am currently committed to CSULB due to the May 1st deadline but just received my Illinois Tech offer.

Thanks.

What were your reasons for applying to IIT?

I just applied because a co-worker at my internship told me to try. I thought the area and the program was decent.

That makes sense. Now you need to dig a bit more into the details of both programs, and what the career centers on each campus have to offer you. So spend some time on both websites. It also would make sense for you to contact that coworker, and ask for their thoughts in this specific situation.

Cal state obispo has a pretty good national rep

^^ Except it’s not what OP is deciding between.
