Hello Everyone!
I have finished my first year studying Computer Science at Syracuse University and due to the rising cost of college, I need to look into other colleges that are cheap and have a good CS program. I heard from many people that SUNY Stony Brooks has an excellent CS program so I would like people’s opinions on which college has the better CS program. Also, I want to get a job in NYC so would a college that’s closer to NYC give me an advantage and what are my chances of being accepted into Stony Brooks as a transfer? My GPA at Syracuse is a 3.2 in the Fall (my economics class dropped me down from a 3.5 to 3.2), and a 3.48 in the Spring. I was experiencing the college life and trying to adapt to the rigor of the work. I went to an unknown high school, but I had a 4.0 GPA and scored 1980 on the SAT.
Also, is it hard for CS transfers to catch up at Stony?
Should I stick it out at Syracuse and pay the expensive tuition or transfer to Stony Brooks and pay a cheaper price, but not sure about how good the CS program is compared to SU. Really appreciate some feedback thanks!
