<p>Since it is computer science as the intended major, you do NOT need to spend a lot of money on university CS education.</p>
<p>Piggybacking on what UCBAlumnus said…I recommend:</p>
<p>1) CU Buffaloes…and you don’t need honors. Probably 1 out of 100 hiring folks care about honors</p>
<p>Or…</p>
<p>2) Community college for 2 years and then transfer to Colorado or Colorado State.</p>
<p>Note: New thing I want to point out about transferring from a CC. Find out ahead of time if the 4-year school accept the first 2 programming courses directly or does one need to test out of them additionally. Here in Maryland, most of the 4-year schools will accept the “Object-Oriented Programming I, II” from the CC’s but U-Maryland College Park (biggest MD school and most prestigious) will not.</p>
