@eaglesalex That is so funny. Everyone everywhere else is trying to get instate tuition for California.
Well, this puts you at square one. I don’t know anything about affordability but since it is in your part of the US, you may want to look at the University of Washington, University of Arizona and Arizona State for Computer Science. Probably the University of Arizona might come in the lowest. For super value in engineering, most people seem to include the University of Alabama Huntsville. And there are the Midwestern colleges, Colorado School of Mines, Montana State that I don’t know much about. Another value option could be UMass Lowell in the Northeast and the more expensive flagship UMass Amherst. Maybe check out Rutgers in NJ also.
A place like UMass would specialize in Artificial Intelligence and Information Retrieval and the University of Washington big data.
