@redbering Not only does UCLA completely ROCK for CS, its also located in the top town for jobs in the WORLD! LA actually surpassed Silicon Valley for jobs. Troy NY and West Lafayette Indiana do not come close to UCLA for location, or job connections, although they have very solid job connections to California as well as the east coast jobs. RPI is a great school for gaming though. Purdue is very well known for mechanical and chemical and aerospace and building up CS very nicely, especially cyber security is strong. Michigan is a top school for everything but those buses going back and forth,in the freezing cold? You made the right choice. Enjoy the great weather and UCLA’s intense CS program. You cannot go wrong there. And you can always do a masters degree in a cold weather place later.
