Try Brigham Young University, in Provo, Utah. They've got a competitive (if not top-tier) CS program, fantastic library, beautiful campus, and tuition is 20% of what you'd pay at other private schools.
Warning: not a party school
- coglethorpe 18y ago> Warning: not a party school Being Mormon helps as well. :-) You don't have to be Mormon to go there, but well over 90% of the students there are Mormon. That being said, it's a nice school.
- pchristensen 18y ago+1 from a BYU alum. Tuition is $2K/semester, $1500 if you're Mormon. It's approx 80-90% subsidized by the LDS church. My uncle has been a software manager/VP in Boston and Utah, and he said he prefers BYU grads to MIT grads because they have a strong enough theoretical background and much better practical skills. Starts out in Java but also lots of C++ programming courses. It's not a party school, but great if you love sports, outdoors, mountain biking, hiking, camping, and skiing, it's hard to beat. If you really need to party, Salt Lake and the UofU are an hour north.
- te_platt 18y agoI spent time at BYU and the University of Utah and I thought the U of U had a much more solid CS program. The U has a long history in the field. It is also where I was introduced to lisp, bigO notation, and algorithm analysis. BYU was more Java oriented. Of course that was many years ago so take it for what it's worth.
