<p>Here's the deal: I've narrowed my choices down to two schools, Michigan and Washington. I plan to study computer science. I am not concerned about distance as I live far from both colleges.</p>

<p>Some of my thoughts so far on each school:</p>

<p>Washington- I was directly admitted to the computer science program with a 32k (total) merit based scholarship. I like the new facilities, gorgeous campus, and Seattle. Everything seems to be in a convenient location. </p>

<p>Michigan- I was admitted to the school of electrical engineering and computer science. I like Ann Arbor, but the campus is so dispersed.</p>

<p>That being said, the most important thing for me is the quality of the computer science program, and how successful cs students typically become after attending either college. I would really appreciate some help on this one; I am really unsure where to go.</p>
