@bluebayou According to post #5 there is prices are even. With a significant cost difference, I’d agree with you here.
FWIW lots of Northeastern CS grads end up in the bay, and Boston has one of the bigger tech scenes in the US currently outside of maybe 3 other cities (SV area, Seattle, NYC).
UCSC is a very solid CS school as well, not putting it down here by any means.
