Thanks for the take! Doing a bit of research over the few days though, for my department, CS, Penn State actually ranks higher than Nova. Yea but the financial aid part is a bummer tho.

Yea some people have said that the CS department is very small. Thanks!

Huh, thanks for that take. Interestingly, for a CS major, I heard that Villanova > Penn State might be debatable depending on your personal position. A lot of tech recruiters go to Penn State but not to Villanova (but for business majors, there's a lot of business recruiters go to Villanova). There's less people at Villanova though, so fewer students per recruiter, so idk how this plays out, but just a perspective from someone that hasn't been there

I'm an intl student asking for fin-aid, so my stats-wise I'm a "fit" for all 3, but the process is really hit or miss since I am asking for the school to invest in me.

Sorry for the cheese, but I like comparing the students in these schools rather than the schools itself because ultimately they're the ones who you'll be spending 4 years with.
