That’s the problem with going out of state. Credits don’t transfer, and you’ll be looking at taking the same classes again at triple the tuition costs vs in-state.

As a programmer myself here’s my advice…DON’T. You’re not doing yourself any favors going to a school to pay triple the tuition of Rutgers. Tech is a ridiculously employable job market with an almost infinite amount of specialties, subspecialties, and micro-specialties. After about 3 years of experience, employers won’t care where you went to school because they’re desperate to find a qualified applicant for a job that’s been vacant for 5 months. I went to a regional state university. In my last job search, I interviewed with Google, Amazon, GA Tech, USAA and Target Corp just to name a few. I took a job with the state of Texas.

Affordability is very important, and I would highly discourage piles of debt. Expect to make a modest salary for the first several years after graduation. By the time you make enough to drive a BMW, your student loans will be paid off. I’d say most of us don’t take the “BMW” jobs anyway, because job satisfaction is worth more than money.
