RPI versus Full Ride at Stony Brook in Computer Science or Computer Engineering

If money is a big concern, go to SB and if you do well you’re likely to get a good job. Whether it’s worth the extra 100K to go to RPI depends entirely on how much 100K is worth to you personally and whether studying at a smaller college like RPI is appealing to you. How you perform at SB or RPI will matter much more than which of the two you go to.
