Hey everyone,
I’m planning to study computer science and I’m having a hard time deciding between two schools. My first option is Grinnell College. I loved its campus, the student body and the professors. Apparently, the students have been successful there, but most of them have learned a lot of material by themselves and has done a lot of work in addition to school to gain more applied experience. Grinnell is also offering me a very good financial aid.
My second option is WPI (Worcester Polytechnic Institute) which is an Engineering school one hour away from Boston. The campus and the student body was ok there. (Grinnell is much better) but WPI has a bigger CS program with co ops and internships since it’s an engineering school. WPI is giving me less money which I have to earn from co ops and internships. (I don’t qualify for loans)
I’m planning to go to graduate school as well as getting internships at good tech companies. I really appreciate it if you give me advice for my decision.
