[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If 100% certain that DC wil, stick with computer science, UMD is a better choice even at same cost.  I get Silicon Valley, but there is a shop off Rte 198 that knows a thing or two about computers too.

If any chance the major could change, then Cal. [/quote]

Umm... yea, but the majority of high tech jobs at the most "fun" and interesting, hip companies are in SV, especially for a recent college grad.  If you are a young single person in high tech, you want to work for one any one of the companies in SV. The perks there for a single person is great.  You will have tons of fun, and sorry, but MD weather cannot compete with CA weather.  Skiing, surfing, sailing, desert down south, forest up north.  If it weren't for the cost of living, it would be paradise.[/quote]

California is a big state that is best compared to the east coast from Boston to DC.  I'll give you the weather and natural beauty, but Northern California is insular and boring compared to NYC and the East Coast.   Palo Alto (aka"shallow alto") is so boring that most young people now endure a commute from San Francisco. San Francisco is great for gay men, but for others - not so much.   So for the outdoorsmen, Cal is hard to beat.  For the urban dweller, I'd choose the East Coast.  [/quote]

Um , speak for yourself...[/quote]
