You may want to try looking in the archived course home pages for Berkeley CS courses:
[EECS Course WEB Sites/url

and Stanford CS courses:

and the MIT OpenCourseWare:
[url=Search | MIT OpenCourseWare | Free Online Course Materials]Free Online Course Materials | Electrical Engineering and Computer Science | MIT OpenCourseWare](CAS - Central Authentication Service)

to get an idea of what CS courses at those schools cover.

almost everyone I talk to about where I go to college respond with something that sounds like “why the hell would you come here/go there” is admittedly somewhat disheartening



Why do they have such a low opinion of UIUC for CS? Rutgers in your home state is considered to be pretty good for CS, but UIUC does have a significantly higher reputation for CS (although Rutgers would have undoubtedly been much less expensive for a NJ resident).
