[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know anything about CS, so will let other people comment there. I also don't know about your finances, so will let YOU think about that. But I would wonder 1) is he REALLY sure this is what he wants? 2) Wisconsin is a really good school, at least I think, and 57USD a year is a LOT of money (to ME*), esp if it could be used for something else in his future.
* meaning if it doesn't really dent your finances specifically, may be it doesn't matter[/quote]

Would you say that about Harvard?  (It's fine if you would, just asking).  Because CMU CS is like Harvard.[/quote]

Not quite. Even if you are dead set for CS, most will probably pick Stanford or MIT over CMU. Between Berkeley and CMU, it would probably be 50-50. I think CMU CS in the CS world is more like Princeton in the top university world.[/quote]

I am not sure if you know what you are talking about.  CMU CS is consistently ranked at the top; #1 currently according to USNEWS and other sources, if USNEWS is not your cup of tea.[/quote]
