<p>Don’t just go off of rankings, you must be silly and naive if you think Stony Brook isn’t as good(if not better, with better faculty, more research, more investments, better resources, and far more going on) than UW-Madison. Use your brain, and do some research by visiting both sites. Don’t let US World News serve as your sole decision maker. Stony Brook CS is twice the size of UW-Madison, it’s faculty is twice the size(from better schools)undergrad population majoring in CS is twice the size, and Stony Brook has far more accomplished alumni, IMHO(think president of Stanford).</p>
