+1 My high stats daughter chose Binghamton OOS over some “fancier” options and hasn’t ever regretted her decision.

Honors programs are often better at many campuses so I would cross Michigan off. Priority for dorms, classes, better opportunities to work with professors.

Michigan if you can swing the $80-$85k per year.

Would she be happy with data science? My CS/robotics kid would not be, so that works rule out Michigan.

I vote Bing! Can’t beat that in-state tuition. Does your child favor any particular school?

Where should you send her? What about where she wants to go?

by the way, very few people, especially children understand what computer sciences is.

If she comes to you and says she has computer science, advise her to switch to information systems, which is the business side of computer science, application instead of theory.

Agree with this entire post.

Agree first answer was the best answer

Is FLA even good for her major? I didn't think they had a strong reputation in that regard.

Of the schools listed it’s similarly ranked besides Michigan.

The reality is every top 50 school in CS is excellent.

Toronto. Great univ in great city. Most Americans have zero knowledge of Canada & don’t know how good their universities are.

If she plans to stay in NY - Binghamton is a great deal. But, it does not have a national reputation.

Michigan is she strongest of the schools listed.

Michigan; Toronto second if she is sure she wants CS.

Toronto outranks the rest

#2 choice Binghamton

This plus the experience of living in another country is a wonderful one.

Toronto if she can graduate debt free. Bing otherwise.
