Price equal, I would choose northeastern personally. Co ops may be very helpful in a post covid employment world. Plus the access to all of the CS, cyber and biotech in the Boston area.
My only concern would be if you are worried about travel and the pandemic. If so, UCSC is no second tier school. It’s fantastic as well.
If money isn’t an option I would give RPI a strong look too. It’s has a big brand in CS and engineering. Although the new arch program isn’t getting rave reviews.
Good luck.
