Does it really matter which uni you go to for CS?

Actually, U-Wisconsin has some CS research areas that ranks very high (databases).

My M.S. degree is from U-Wisconsin (plain 'ole Engineering…no specialty).

Having said all of that…and YES, I sound like a broken record but you can attend a school in the Top-100 and be just as qualified when it comes to Computer Science. In software engineering, degrees are merely “check off the box” items.

Whether you have the skills in C++, Java, Linux, and other CS skills will be what defines you.
