[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just hired five recently CS graduates in our technology division; one from CMU, one from Northeastern, one from UCLA, one from UVA, and one from GMU.  All of them were offered the same salary at 115K/year.  In other words, the graduate from GMU makes the same salary as the graduate from CMU and Northeastern, and the cost to attend GMU is more than less than half of CMU and Northeastern.  [/quote]

THere are boot camp grads who make $115k/yr - without the cost of GMU. [/quote]

NP here - so now you are discounting the whole point of ever going to college? I guess CS can be treated like vocational school, but going to college is far more than learning a specific trade.

On a similar note, I have nothing against GMU (or any of these schools) - but a sizeable number GMU students commute and that's a very different experience than a more traditional campus where the majority of students are living away from home (even if not on campus).

Don't get me wrong, I am glad GMU offers a great education for those kids in their student body for which "commuting from home" makes college affordable , but in that sense GMU would be very different than the others colleges the OP listed. [/quote]
