While I have friends (and many colleagues) who graduated from MIT CS and are very competent engineers, I don't think MIT is the shining beacon of the best SE/CS graduates. Their program is certainly very good, but if someone asked me (for CS/SE specifically) about going to MIT or NU, I'd point them to NU. For almost everything else, it would, of course, be MIT.
- aiisjustanif 6y agoWhat university is NU?
- wjossey 6y agoNortheastern University, which is where the roots of HTDP can be found.
- aiisjustanif 6y agoAh, thank you. I was thinking of Northwestern. To the point of comment you replied too. I do believe there is value in what can be more understood between learning via HTDP vs an easy to understand language, Data Structures, and Algorithms. From stand point of teaching CS to beginners maybe MIT is going for breath and Northeastern is going more for depth. Then again what do I know, I didn’t go to university remotely in that realm of prestige.
