Yes, costs for UCs and CSULB are reasonable. At the moment, my son prefers attending a UC due to its prestige. We’ve have heard great things recently about CSULB in terms of their CS program and how supportive the school is towards helping their students succeed through many resources.
I’ve read ABET is preferred especially when trying to get a job at a defense company?
From what I remember back in the college days, the first 2 years of core classes at a UC tend to be very large in size (over 300+ students) where a lot of the students are weeded out. Is it the same way now for these kids at the UCs?
