Why not wait until you have real data to consider. So many things can change. No one knows what will be for CS majors in 4-5 years, so there’s that on the cost savings side, and a full ride, if offered, is hard to turn down, but if you are in a position to offer your child the choice to attend where they feel is the best fit for them, that is the gift of a lifetime. Many students change their majors. And IMO, since there are also so many twists and turns in short term and long term career routes, looking at “outcome data” with all its flaws, is not worth the time. And so many people get a degree in one field but then end up in another, those numbers can be of little utility.
