[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CMU has overall better students than Wisconsin. [b]if you took the enrollment at CMU and equated it with the same number of students TOP students at Wisconsin, they would rate pretty evenly. If course, Wisconsin has 20,000 more students, so if you are going to compare them, do an apples to apples[/b]

CMU has more CS faculties and higher calibre faculties in general.[b] I would dispute this, though CMU faculty are top notch, for sure[/b]

CMU CS research is world class and touches many areas in robotics, language, AI, bioinformatics, etc.[b] Yes, very true. Are you familiar with the similar research being done at Wisconsin?[/b]

The course rigor will be higher. There will be courses you can only find at CMU.[b] Not necessarily. See point #1 above[/b]

Some employers will only recruit from top schools.[b] this is very true[/b]

Does it worth $50k more? Only OP can answer that. Even from a finance standpoint, if the student's aim is to get into a few selective employers that pay big $, CMU is probably the place to go.[/quote]

Look, CMU is tops in this space. No one is disputing that. But don't go disparaging UW students or program when you clearly know nothing about it. Plus, while Forbes Ave is a great college strip, pretty much nothing beats Madison for collegiate experience and quality of life.

Can't go wrong with either, and CMU is a truly outstanding choice.[/quote]
