Hi guys,
I am deciding between these two unis for CS, and I would like some advice on what to choose. Georgia Tech’s OOS tuition is about 20,000 less than that of Berkeley and is obviously smaller and has better housing options than Berkeley. I am aware that Berkeley’s CS program is better ranked but what really am I losing going to the university that is cheaper and closer to home (in Europe)? Is it worth the hassles (being much farther, bearing higher cost, finding housing, and being in such a large environment) going to Berkeley over GTech? Because I’m not sure I’ll be that much better of a computer scientist at the end because both colleges have similar placements and resources.
