Hello all. I got accepted into GWU and RPI for CS. However, I am having trouble deciding between the two. In terms of aid, my family only has to pay about 13 grand a year for GWU and 26 grand for RPI. My interest in Computer Science is Cybersecurity.
-How is the CS program?
-How are the CS professors?
-How is the social life?
-How are the dorms and the dining plan?
-How are job and internship prospects?
Thank you very much.
I only took one CS class, but it was a lot of fun and the professor was great.
As far as social life and general student questions, check out:

Let me know if there’s anything you can’t find!
RPI would be better for CS since it is a tech school… Probably more internships as well because the school would be well known for producing quality CS majors.
Social life at RPI (for me) is not attractive. Since I’m a guy, being in a 70% male school would be no bueno. School is nerdy. Not a party school.
It depends what you’re going to college for. Fun or Future?
