Hello, incoming college freshman here. Basically want to pursue a BS in Computer Science and go onto grad school for an MS with hopes of studying Machine Learning or Artificial Intelligence.
Accepted: UCR (CS + possibly Honors Program), CPP (CS), SCU (CSE) [super costly 
] Waitlisted: UCSC (sent appeal, so maybe my chances are better???)
I am not sure how to compare the programs aside from the rankings and possible rumors/stereotypes. I haven’t been able to visit UCR and CPP due to COVID-19, but I have visited SCU and thought it was nice. I also visited UCSC and absolutely loved it!!!
If anyone with possibly personal experience or knows someone with experience could provide their insight, that would be much appreciated!
