<p>How much of a difference is there between #2 in the nation and #6 in the nation for an undergrad majoring in information systems? I only have to pay $10k/yr at Maryland but $40k/yr at Carnegie, but I’m wondering about the internship opportunities at UMD compared to those of CMU, in addition to their starting job positions. I know there’s a lot of major companies that recruit at CMU like Google and Microsoft, and I’m supposing that would look good on my resume later. However, there’s still the huge cost difference between the two but the median starting salary for UMD is around $60k while for CMU it’s around $65k-$67k. Are the opportunities available at CMU worth it, and how much debt does the average student have to pay off?</p>
