<p>Can anyone recommend any good, reputed Engineering colleges, which offer good computer science courses?</p>

<p>Name the college you are going to or the one you are at. Also, explain why you chose it and, and what your COA is.</p>

<p>If there are any Engineering or liberal Arts colleges that you know of, and you think are worth it; please do tell!</p>

<p>What is “good” for you? Tell me that and I’ll name a few colleges. As for repute, in no order of reputation, the following colleges have a respectable undergraduate engineering program:</p>

<p>UC Berkeley
UCLA
Georgia Tech
MIT
Stanford
Cornell
Harvey Mudd
RPI
RIT
Caltech
CMU.</p>

<p>I’m most probably going to UC Berkeley this fall. Because it’s the only place where I applied which is warm throughout the year. It’s close to SF. It has a lot of people; I like big schools. It’s my teacher’s alma mater and she keeps talking about how awesome it is all the time. Oh and the COE there is amazing. My “sticker-price” COA is $53k/year but I think it might as well be $55-60k/year taking into account misc. expenses.</p>

<p>I really have no opinions about Liberal Arts colleges, because I didn’t apply to any. The closest LA type uni I applied to was Brown.</p>

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>I need one that is well known/lesser known-but good program, offers reasonably good or really good FA ( which is hard in this economy and competition, I know, but regardless) and is worth the trouble.</p>

<p>I can pay a max. of 20,000$ per year. NOT 50k+$</p>

4

<p>I’m not the best person to be asking about aid, since I don’t know the procedures of applying for aid. You might want to look into the programs of RPI, RIT, Harvey Mudd and UCLA.</p>

5

<p>Will do. :)</p>

<p>Any more Indian CC members, willing to share their choices and reasons?</p>

6

<p>Here are some nice universities with COA - 20k per year</p>

<p>Texas A&M- if u get a merit based scholarship, u will be eligible for a waiver and COA would fall to 20k</p>

<p>SUNY BUffalo-20k with scholarship,a 7k scholarship is easy to get in this university.</p>

<p>WPI-Score high and u can get scholarship upto 30k or even more.</p>

<p>SUNY Stony Brook</p>

<p>TAMU & WPI have really great science and engineering programs so if u get a nice scholarship, they are a total value for money.</p>

7

<p>UIUC is good for CS, and gives a few scholarships if you apply early. Same for GeorgiaTech.</p>

8

<p>Some others</p>

<p>Cal poly [Cal</a> Poly - Welcome to California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, California](<a href=“http://www.calpoly.edu/]Cal”>http://www.calpoly.edu/)
Purdue
USC (offers scholarships to top internationals)
SUNY - binghamton</p>

<p>

Is that with or without housing. Since housing easily leans towards 10,000$/year
So if 10K for tuition, you need to look at getting scholarships to cover major part of tuition.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Thanks! I was only considering TAMU out of those. I’ll look into them! :)</p>

<p>@pratyush795</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>However, UIUC and GeorgiaTech do not offer any FA; only scholarships. Are they enough to bring net COA down to 20k$?</p>

<p>@fall2016parent</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah, but CalPolySLO offers no FA, and it seems like it might cost 20k+.
I’m considering Purdue. :slight_smile: How much are some indians paying there?
Should I really consider any Us in California; since, COLiving is way higher? Are Texas colleges really that less expensive, since lots of Indians tend to go there?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah, meant with housing. As in net COA ,< 20k$
Are scholarships offered only by colleges individually, or are there separate bodies who offer them?</p>

<p>Add Rutgers to the list. Not sure of international aid though. But Engineering is pretty good there and being close to NYC is great. Good international student base. </p>

<p>Cost of living is should be reasonable in CalPoly (San Lois obispo).</p>

12

<p>Can anybody tell me about NYU’s engineering?? Its pretty confusing out on the internet…:)</p>

13

<p>^The problem with NYU is there is absolutely no chance of international aid. So it is a very expensive college. Also it is well known for Stern business school.</p>

<p>If you are looking for engineering schools in NY, [Polytechnic</a> Institute of New York University | NYU-Poly](<a href=“Home | NYU Tandon School of Engineering”>http://www.poly.edu/) and [Welcome</a> | Cooper Union](<a href=“http://cooper.edu/]Welcome”>http://cooper.edu/) are good. But cost of living is very high there.</p>

14

<p>Yup, I was talking about NYU-POLY. Isn’t it merged with NYU?? F16P, Can you please tell me how is merit aid there??</p>

15

<p>Hmm…don’t know about the merger. Maybe affiliated, but still it is a different campus as far as I recall. Dont know much about aid. [Grants</a> and NYU-Poly Scholarships | NYU-Poly](<a href=“Home | NYU Tandon School of Engineering”>Home | NYU Tandon School of Engineering)
there is a promise scholarship worth 20K/year. But still expensive with living costs.</p>

<p>The issue I have with NYU-Poly is it is a very urban campus and cost of living is very high. And I may be wrong but a lot of students are commuter (locals) there. So there is not much campus/student life. If you want to be in NY area, I would prefer Rutgers, a lot of students go to Stevens Institute and NJIT as well. RPI is another one but it is upstate NY.</p>

<p>NYU - Poly is actually in Brooklyn, which is far cry from Manhattan.</p>

<p>There is another university that is worth a second look - Virginia Tech. Pretty good in Engineering. Also heard Case Western Reserve University gives scholarships to top students as well.</p>

<p>Hey fallparent </p>

<p>You mentioned RPI, another very good strong Engineering institution. A friend’s son attended and is doing very well. Great job opportunities.</p>
