<p>I have to choose to either go to UPitt or Rutgers. The total prices between the two colleges are essentially the same, so I have to decide which on is better academics wise for comp sci. I can adjust to any environment, so the surroundings do not matter too much. I'm just confused about which college is better for academics. Us News ranks UPitt higher overall but ranks it much lower than Rutgers when it comes to the comp sci major. I'm not sure if Us News is a reliable source when it comes to academics though.</p>
<p>For computer science, Rutgers is better.</p>
<p>How do you know this? Are you basing this on rankings online or do you know people from both Rutgers and UPitt and know that the people who have gone to Rutgers have done better overall in the field of computer science?</p>
