Choosing the right college [CS: UGA full tuition scholarship, UMD President scholarship; UGA is $30k/year less]

UMD is the better school but it’s CS and you’ll still find jobs from UGA.

Ask the UGA CS department for a career outcome report - so you can see salary and companies. See if they are up to snuff. UMD publishes a report but you can ask them for further info too.

It’s hard for a smart GA resident to leave the state - they “buy” you in.

When you see salaries look at where people are working. DC costs a lot more to live than Atlanta…for example.

Best of luck.
