Hi all.

Alright, so here’s what’s up. I’ve decided to major in Computer Engineering. As I’m from a little south of Pittsburgh, CMU is easily a prime choice. What I want to know is this: is CMU really worth the cost compared to PSU?

I’ve heard great things about both programs, and am aware that CMU’s is regularly ranked in the top 3 or so nationally. But is the difference worth the cost in your opinion?

I’m fairly confident that I can be accepted into CMU and even their Electrical and Computer Engineering Program at that.

Thanks in advance for advice.
