I attend a CC for CS and next year i’m graduating and I have no idea where i want to go. I want to live on the west coast cause I don’t like the cold, I’m org from a Island but that’s a next story lol… my question is which UNI is better for CS ? what should I look for? people are telling me go to NJIT and my friend told me Rutgers has a best CS program in the country. imstill doing my research, I was also looking at FSU but they are not taking all my credits so that’s out of the question now…
Next year you should apply for transfer.
Rutgers is not the best CS program in the country - but it’s a good school and they offer scholarships to Phi Theta Kappa members who had a good GPA and an associates degree.
If you want to dorm then go Rutgers. If you want to commute then go NJIT. A degree is still a degree no matter where you go, especially when comparing these two schools specifically. Work experience is everything when it comes to technical fields like CS or engineering
your’re right , I’m interning at google this summer,can’t wait to see how that goes and thanks
yeah my CC has that Phi Theta kappa thing, I’l look more into that and see, thanks
A degree isn’t always a degree, you want to make sure the school is accredited of course - but both NJIT and Rutgers are obviously accredited.
NJIT and Rutgers are both good, TCNJ also.
Definitely apply to join Phi Theta Kappa, it’s an academic society (named with Greek letters but not to be confused with social fraternities!
What’s your budget?
What’s your GPA?
Depending on how strong your GPA is, with that Google internship you could try for higher-ranked colleges too (you ALWAYS apply to programs you’re sure you’ll get into and then you add a few more that are reaches, just in case).
Transfers get lousy aid so apply to NJIT, Rutgers, and TCNJ first, but then… look into Case Western Reserve, RPI, WPI, RHTI, UMD College Park.
If budget is not a problem, Western Washington University?
(if you’re really really good, Harvey Mudd and Stanford?)
i’m getting into stanford and those colleges lol. but my GPA is only at 3.6 right now and i’ll apply for the colleges i mention and thank you bro
