Stony Brook full tuition ride whereas Buffalo/Binghamton partial ride in CS/CE. Also RPI/NYU/Northeastern etc. after grant/scholarships between 30-40K/yr as compared to SB/Buffalo/Bing between 10-20K after Scholarship. Finally Out of state top 10-15 CS/CE schools Urbana Champagne/Purdue/Texas/Michigan/San Diego etc. between 45-55k/yr.

Are these top 10 OOS schools worth 50K or RPI/NYU/Northeastern worth 35K compared to in-state SB at 10-15K in CS/CE?

That’s a really nice ride! Stony brook is a very reputable CS school.

If you excel and get recommendations from well known faculty, you can get paid to go to grad school at one of the top 10 schools.

If you don’t excel, you wouldn’t have at the other schools either, so you are better off with the money.

Basically, I don’t see any limitations with this choice.
