Hello, I’m Connecticut resident. I got accepted into UConn and Purdue (Undergrad). I know Purdue is highly ranked in CS, but UConn is cheaper for me . So I’m really considering which college is better to me. Please help!
What are your parents saying? Are they fine with paying more for Purdue?
Are you a transfer student? Why are you deciding now?
As much as I love Purdue, it’s probably not worth OOS tuition in your situation. And yes, CS is very good at Purdue.
Unless there’s some kind of specialty track you’re interested in that Purdue offers and UConn doesn’t, go to UConn. Pretty much any state flagship will have a perfectly good program for CS.
CS is very good at HUNDREDS of schools. HUNDREDS. Not worth the OOS rate unless your family is so affluent that they’ll never miss the money.
No company is going to pay you more for going to Purdue over UConn. (And my H went to Purdue)
