(I don’t know about the others. They may be stronger but not a lot)</p>
<p>What’s the reason for the request?</p>
<p>“Umich Amherst”</p>
<p>New campus? ;-)</p>
<p>Colleges like Stanford, MIT, CMU etc will be at the top.</p>
<p>UWash, UMaryland-CP and UMass-Amherst are also up there for CS></p>
<p>CMU on top.</p>
<p>Beyond that, no university in the list outshines any other.</p>
<p>@riprorin I’m trying to narrow my college list so I’m giving them points for certain things (program strength, social life, location, class size, etc) I just wanted to see what others opinions are about the strength of these programs. And yes I meant Massachusetts Amherst not Michigan</p>

<p>Are you considering cost too?</p>
<p>Yes I am considering cost. I can afford all of these colleges but at some/more than half I would graduate with debt. The most debt would be at a $60000 a year college (like cornell) where I can pay all but about $60000 if I pay full freight</p>
