My Daughter got acceptance from both NCSU and UNC Chapel Hill. Her major focus area is Computer Science. UNC Chapel Hill offered her Honors program and she is in contention for Chancellor Science Scholarship. We are waiting for the result of NCSU Honors application. We are looking for more information on which college amongst these 2 has better computer science program? Please share your thoughts, experience or related facts that help us make right decision. She is researching on her part and leaning towards NCSU.

UNC CS is better for some students, while NCSU CS is better for others. CS is one of those fields where you learn by doing rather than going to lectures, so you school doesn’t matter as much as it does in other fields. After two or three years of work experience, people hardly even pay attention to your school. Normally I tell people to look for any specialized tracks at the schools they’re considering, and if they find a track at one of the schools that interests them, strongly consider going there. I also personally like places with smaller classes, but that doesn’t matter to many students.
