I was recently accepted into Stevens and Fordham Lincoln Center. I am planning on majoring in Computer Science and I was interested to hear opinions? I have family that attended Stevens and I’m accordingly lending towards them but I don’t feel comfortable committing without learning a little more about Fordham as well. Fordham’s variety of courses (as in, not solely a tech school) interests me, but I know Stevens also has a relatively good department for things like Political Science too. So any general ideas of approaches I should take or if you think the choice is obvious or whatever it may be please let me know! Thanks!
Fordham has a very extensive core curriculum and is also a religious school. Something to be aware of and determine if those are positive/negative.
For CS generally, Stevens would be the pick. Are the costs the same for both schools?
Some things to look at for both schools:
How big is the CS department? Are all courses offered regularly?
Where do graduates from each end up in CS? Starting salaries for CS?
It’s good to consider things beyond academics though, and for that reasons, it’s fair to say this is not obvious. For specifically CS, I think it is a pretty clear difference.
Good luck!
