My son got admit in both UF and FSU Computer Science major (in addition to few other universities in other states). My brother stays in Tallahassee. Hence exploring the option of Florida state
I want to know whether FSU is worth considering (as we are hearing varied views)? I want to know about prospects of computer science major of FSU and UF
A couple of points.
In general,UF is the better school than FSU, and that’s the case with computer sciences. However, the difference (for that major) isn’t’ that significant between the two schools.
UF also has a very good and well recruited (nationally) computer engineering program, which is similar to CS.
A lot of schools are now making graduation survey data available. This is a good way to get a snap shot of “Student Outcomes”.

Note that you can select several tabs, including average salaries, etc. For example, CS majors complete their degree in an average of 4.08 years and the average starting salary was $72,057. 57% stayed in Florida, but 22% ended up in Washington or California.

You can “google” graduation survey" results for other schools.
Good Luck!
