[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I [b]know nothing about the University of Illinois, but why/when/where did it become such a sought-after computer science school?[/b] It's not like it's located near Fermilab. As a follow-up, is there any movement by UVA to become more CS/AI focused? Looking at that list of schools, that's where you want your public university to be heavily invested. I know that you still need to train doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc., but the schools on that list will just separate further from the schools that don't emphasize the future.[/quote] Longevity. School was building computers for govt/military back in the 40s. CS department established mid-60s. HAL, the computer from Stanley Kubrick's movie 2001, according to the script was "built" in Urbana.
