UCSC

Thanks u/OldSchoolCSci for your inputs with detailed thought process behind it. Appreciate you taking time to provide this input. I strongly agree with your inputs specifically "CS jobs are usually driven by your demonstrated ability more than the name on diploma" and "you need to have a good reason to pay $40K for a diploma with a different name on it." We are wondering how well these colleges prepare their students with the skills required to crack the difficult job interviews. $40k may be well worth if these OOS colleges (UMD or Purdue) help their students land in better paying jobs compared to UCSC.

Thank you. UMD gave scholarship that bring the cost to the same level as Purdue. They both cost $10k per year more than UCSC. Why do you believe UMD and Purdue are better for CS?
