Purdue vs. UMass Amherst CS

Hello. I live in Massachusetts and I got into Purdue’s CS program but UMass Amherst’s Exploratory Track for CS (I’d have to maintain good grades to apply for CS). UMass is $28k while Purdue is $30k. I know I’ll be very far from home if I attend Purdue but is it worth it for its CS program? Or should I stay in state? I dont mind staying far from home.

Are you in pre-CS at Purdue or direct admit?

Direct admit
