<p>Hello College Confidential!</p>

<p>I am a current senior who is currently applying to colleges/universities. Although I just started taking computer science courses, I am really interesting in majoring in this field. I live in Massachusetts and I am having a hard time looking for schools that offer a good computer science course. </p>

<p>Right now, I am only aiming for colleges in the New England area, however I will consider some southern ones.</p>

<p>Here are my list of colleges so far that I may apply to:
Northeastern University
Umass Amherst (backup)
Umass Dartmouth (backup)
University of Connecticut
WPI
Virginia Tech
Penn State University Park</p>

<p>Cost and financial aid constraints? Try putting “cost of attendance” and “financial aid estimator” in each school’s web site search box.</p>

<p>CMU, MIT, Stony Brook, UMCP, RPI are in your region, though you’ll have to check cost and financial aid if that is a constraint.</p>

<p>Elsewhere around the country, you may want to look at Minnesota and Cal Poly SLO, which have relatively low out-of-state list prices (as does Virginia Tech).</p>

3

<p>CMU and RPI. Not quite New England but both excellent schools.</p>

4

<p>Georgia Tech if you’re willing to consider the south.</p>

5

<p>Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, UIUC</p>

6

<p>The best schools for computer science are:</p>

<p>1) Carnegie Mellon, MIT, Stanford
2) UC Berkeley, UT Austin
3) Princeton, UIUC, CalTech, Georgia Tech</p>

<p>I agree with all the schools on andrewt787 's list (maybe with a different ranking). Also Univ of Washington is very good if the northwest is a geographic option</p>
