Hi guys … So I applied to the Computer Science Masters (“ScM”) program at Brown, and luckily I’ve been accepted. Personally I didn’t know Brown’s reputation within CS that well when I was applying, but now that I’ve been accepted, I see that many claim that it’s CS department, at least for undergrad, is top-notch.

However I’m wondering how easy/hard would it be to get a Software Development job after graduating from their Computer Science Master’s program. Brown is located in a very remote location with no proper opportunities nearby at all. The nearest hub of CS jobs would be either Boston or NYC, however I’ve commonly heard that IT recruiters turn you down the second they know that you’re from a different state.

Can a CS Brown alum chime in on this issue and clarify if my I’m wrong or right here ?
