We are from Pennsylvania and my son is a Computer Science major. Alabama has been great for him, he graduated in 3 years, went to New Zealand for 3 weeks on a school trip and will get his Masters of Computer Science in his 4th year of school. He also landed a high paying job that will start this summer. His two friends, without masters, got the exact same job. If you like UA come to Alabama. If you are a good computer science student and coder you will be able to write your ticket. Work experience is key. I don’t believe employers (with some small exceptions) care where you went to school. They care what you can do.
