<p>I have been admitted to both the Turing Honors Program at UT Austin and to UCLA for CS under the school of engineering, but I am having trouble comparing the two and deciding. </p>
<p>I'm OOS for both.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any experience with either of these programs or any suggestions?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>IMHO it is not worth 50K/year or more to attend UCLA as a OOS student. I don’t know the cost at UT OOS. The UCs are still a good deal for CA residents, but the class size will tend to be large, its sometimes hard to get the classes you need, and for that price you can get a more personal experience at a private (eg. faculty advisor, smaller class sizes esp. in intro classes, etc). And don’t think that you’ll just pay the cost for a year or two and then qualify for in-state rates; they have set things up to make this pretty much impossible.</p>
