Should I study Computer Science in a Florida College?

College Search & Selection

<p>Hi, I am only junior in HS but I want to major in CS. I've been looking at the best colleges for CS in the nation and I found out MIT, Stanford, Harvard and all the other top ones are the best. But they are too expensive and my family doesn't have that much money. And even if they did, it's really hard to get into schools like those, I'll still apply though, you never know lol. But anyway, I live in Florida, and I'd go to a college here if it has a good CS program. All I want is to know if there are any good CS schools here and if they are worth it. I'm not a bad student, i get decent grades, as of right now I think I have a 3.8 GPA ( it used to be 3.5, but I woke up and I am working harder this year and am taking honors, I plan on taking AP next year.) I'm also taking Chinese, and volunteering, but that's about it. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>University of Florida is perfectly respectable for CS.</p>

<p>But check the net price calculator on each school’s web site to see what the price after need-based financial aid will be for you.</p>

<p>Also, take a look at potential large merit scholarships:</p>
