<p>How does it compare to top schools(UT, Carnegie Mellon) and how are the facilites?</p>
<p>I don't know many details about the OSU program, although I wouldn't expect it to be the equal of CMU. It might well be, but I wouldn't expect it to be. </p>
<p>I do know that the Ohio Supercomputer Center is on West Campus and that is pretty cool. </p>
<p>However, given OSU's commitment to research (as well as the other techie companies in Columbus), I don't think you would be making a bad choice to study computer science at OSU. And you would save a bunch of money in the process. Money better spent on your PhD. :)</p>
