@Luska19, I think (echoing a colloquy upstream) that this is ultimately a question of personal taste. I think it’s pretty clear that the market is such that someone can get a job right out of college in computer science regardless of where they received their degree. With that off the table, the choice becomes one of fit and academic passion. Some people prefer LACs specifically because they like the idea of having their work graded by actual professors who are experts in their field before settling on a major. Others walk in already prepared to dive into something they have a passionate interest in. For those people, there will always be a trade-off between the small scale, the mentoring and intimacy of a LAC and the numerous academic peak experiences available at bigger schools. Brown, Dartmouth, Princeton have certainly positioned themselves to be “happy mediums”. I might add Tufts to the mix. I’d even suggest my own alma mater, Wesleyan as an example of a LAC with graduate level courses in CS, Math, Physics and Astronomy. Amherst is in a consortium that includes a state flagship university. There are all sorts of ways of approaching the trade-offs.
