Stony Brook is very suitcase/commuter so, comibg from the West Coast, I’d cross it out for quality of life reasons (the academics are excellent).
Pitt and VTech are similar in quality: are they the same price? Are there department-specofoc scholarships you can apply to?
Pitt is in a nice neighborhood in a cool city. VTech is in a classic college town and features excellent food. Both will be challenging academically speaking but good work/life balance.
ASU v. Indiana, same idea: city v. College town, with the added difference of close to home/far from home and ASU having financial difficulties so OOS scholarships are likely to be cut (but it’s likely less expensive for your 1st year).
Do you like CS or Engineering? Cs typically offers more flexibility wrt electives or advanced courses and is more abstract, often with more math; Engineering requires a lot of physics and solid math with an interest in their applications.
