[quote=Anonymous]UIUC has one of the best CS programs in the nation (undergraduate and graduate degrees).

If you plan to study CS seriously, go to UIUC.

If you want to get an everyday CS job, UVA is just fine.

One of my kids is studying CS at UVA, and I can tell that UIUC is comfortably at another level.

UIUC is also way better than Wisconsin, Purdue, Michigan, UNC, or Maryland.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On a pure rankings basis, for CS departments, UIUC is clearly at the top of the stack (out of the colleges in this post) but department rankings don't always track with undergrad education.

In addition, while UIUC general admission isn't terribly competitive, the CS major is very competitive.

DC would consider UMD, but he doesn't want to go to school &lt;10 miles from home.[/quote]

UVA has a strong student body but CS there is meh. It's also a party school.

UMD is among the best CS departments in the county.

UUIC may be one of these schools like UVA that makes CS students study engineering. This is mostly unnecessary and just makes undergrad more painful. It's also in the middle of nowhere. [/quote][/quote]
