“These rankings are for grad school, but it gives you at least some idea how the departments are perceived.”
People keep saying this but it is just not the case. Those ratings are about the reputation of the department. The quality of the department is relevant to undergrads and graduate students.
Many people in NY would be horrified to hear anyone say that UCLA CS is mediocre cause of that is true, where would SUNY fall. Oh goodness!
I’ve only heard positive things…about UCLA that is.
