<p>I have been accepted into all 3 colleges but I am not sure which one to chose for computer science. I live in New Jersey so I get in-state tuition from Rutgers. Here is the following current stats from US news for each of the colleges:</p>
<p>Rutgers:
Price: $13,073 (instate tuition) + $11,412 (room and board)
Overall Rank: #68
Rank for Comp Sci: #28</p>
<p>UPitt:
Price: $26,280 (out-of-state tuition) + $9,870 (room and board)
Overall Rank: #58
Rank for Comp Sci: #53</p>
<p>Virginia Tech:
Price: $25,320 (instate tuition) + $8,000 (room and board)
Overall Rank: #72
Rank for Comp Sci: #44</p>
<p>I did not receive any scholarship from any of the colleges, so the tuition for each college won't change. I'm not sure if I can decide which is the best college based on the statistics alone. Also, I'm not sure if I should consider the computer science ranking of the university or the overall ranking of the university. The environments for each of the colleges seem good (I am fine with suburban colleges, city colleges and small town colleges). I suppose research and internship opportunities should be taken into consideration too. Overall, I want to go to the college that will provide the best academics (good teachers, helpful TAs, etc...) and I'm not sure which one is the best. If anyone from each of the universities or those in a similar situation as me can give me some information, I would be most grateful. Please help me!</p>
