> UMass Amherst has an awesome CS program. It's ranked close to MIT and costs a lot less. Maybe it's program is awesome, but per it's own page on the subject it ranks #31st (https://www.cics.umass.edu/news/computer-science-undergraduate-program-ranks-top-15-public-1-northeast-according-us-news-world https://www.cics.umass.edu/news/computer-science-undergradua...). Note there are plenty of ties in the US News and World Report system, so for example Stanford, UC Berkeley, CMU and MIT are in a tie for #1 which is correct.
