I don’t mean to detract from @Lindagaf’s excellent post above, because I agree with all her points and Brandeis is a good school and a good fit for OP given what he’s looking for. But… as someone who works in the tech industry and has regularly hired CS grads for over two decades - I do need to caution users about that particular rankings list. Their methodology isn’t known and the rankings don’t match my experience or those of my peers in the tech industry. Anyone familiar with CS schools will find this list suspect. So please keep that in mind.
Again - not diminishing Brandeis in any way. It’s a very good school.
Thanks.
