UCLA Ling + CS vs UW CS

We, here in California, know that Washington is north of our state (yep that Pesky Oregon is in-between us) and, believe it or not, our CS employers actually employ people from Washington state! We are a large state and have multiple CS hubs throughout California’s boundaries.

If you want to pay into our state’s coffers, then by all means attend UCLA. Our state calls you a “cash cow” because you bring in some money and will pay outrageous fees for the benefit of our state. Our state needs the money.

If you want to get a strong education in CS, and save some cash for grad school, then stay instate and apply to grad school anywhere, including UCLA. Yes, we will take your money at anytime!
Our employers will still be here.
