<p>You are a little late to the party with this question - you should have asked this before you applied!! Considering your semester starts in a month, you really cut this decision close! Not knowing anything specific about the departments, I can offer only the USNews rankings of the departments:</p>

<p>RIT-Rochester institute of tech: unlisted
SJSU-san jose state univ: unlisted
santa clara university: unlisted
university of southern california: 20
clemson university: listed, unranked
UTDALLAS : 72</p>

<p>Of the lot, it appears that only USC has a solid reputation, according to the infallible academic researchers at the USNews. Since it carries a big reputation anyway, that would be my vote.</p>

<p>Thanks man!</p>

<p>The only prob with USC is, its a bit expensive.
But got no choice, ihave to join either clemson or SJSU or USC.</p>

8

<p>USC has a respectable C.S department. They have good professors and researches.
I would have gone there if I hadn’t been accepted to Columbia.</p>

<p>SJSU may be unlisted, but it doesn’t mean it isn’t an acceptable school. What is your career goal or what do you hope to get out of the school? I’m very familiar with SJSU and can probably answer a few questions.</p>

<p>Also, if you like Topcoder. Here is a ranking for you:</p>

<p>Well, a nice paying IT job i suppose, im not into research or anythin…</p>

<p>Then you may want to consider SJSU. However, you need to join the SJSU CS Club if you do decide to pursue your degree there. Employers (mainly alumni) visit this club to talk about getting a job at their company (IBM, Yahoo, Facebook, Microsoft, NetApp). The club is relatively small too and you’ll learn that just about everyone knows each other (you’ll end up meeting a ton of alumni if you start hanging around there too).</p>
