[quote=Anonymous]My son got into Maryland and VT for CS. Out of state for both. He graduated from VT and is now at Google. Maryland is ranked higher for CS, has more research for CS, and has a new building. I'm not sure any of that matters too much for undergraduates. I think VT is solid for undergraduate CS (top 30 or so last I looked) and "good enough". My son was well prepared when he graduated. I liked that CS at VT is within the engineering school. My son much preferred the VT campus and vibe. College Park felt like a place where you would have to worry about petty crime. However, I understand that some people would prefer to be closer to a big city. My sense is that Maryland CS is overcrowded and a "you're a number and on your own" program, more than is the case at VT. I would suggest the kid go to the school where they think they would be happiest based on the location, campus and school vibe. And, of course, the best option financially.[/quote]
