Narrowing down CS schools

Colleges and Universities A-Z Lehigh University
1

I am in 11th grade and working to narrow down my list of colleges to apply to for a computer science degree. I am interested in applying to some schools in the northeast and am wondering which will provide me the best overall education. Ideally I would like smaller class sizes (don’t really care about the size of the overall university) and to be in or near a big city although this is not absolutely necessary. I do like the idea of a co-op program, but summer internships would also be ok. My list is:

RPI
WPI
RIT
Stevens Institute of Technology
U Rochester
Northeastern
Drexel
Lehigh

I am not from the northeast and would ultimately like to land a job on the west coast. However, I want the experience of living there for at least 4 years. Do any of these schools have good job placement in Seattle or San Francisco? Ultimately I will probably only apply to 4 of these schools, so any help with making my decision would be greatly appreciated.

There’s no need to bump all of these, you already have 8 threads on the subject which all show up to posters who use any sort of general time feed or check multiple of the boards you posted to…

Lehigh for computer science is really good. Have you looked into the CSB program (computer science and business)? It’s unique to Lehigh and very attractive to employers. Plus Lehigh CSB majors make an average starting salary of $20,000 higher than most other majors!
