Hi!
I have been admitted as a Computer Science major to both UConn and Penn State for the Fall which are the two schools I have narrowed down to. However, I am having a bit of trouble deciding between the two as I know Penn State’s program is much better and renowned but I love everything else about UConn (Campus, Student Body, Location, etc) better.
I guess my questions would be:
- How much of a difference in quality would there be between the two programs?
- Niche ranks Penn State's Computer Science program as #57 and UConn as #183, are these rankings reputable?
- How much more weight would a Penn State degree carry than one from UConn in terms of employment?
- How much distraction would there be at both of these schools, especially Penn State?
I am OOS for both so they would cost around the same
Thank You!
