<p>For the poster looking for a midwest location for computer science major, check out Oberlin College near Cleveland. It has only undergraduates, so there is the complete attention of the professors. Last year, 3 students won Goldwater scholarships , the highest national award for undergrads, and presented at national conferences. They are guided towards summer research jobs so that they have this dimension ready for grad school applications. I don’t really know this field, so of course it sounded impressive. Oberlin is particularly good for providing scientific studies within a liberal arts setting, for a well-rounded intellectual foundation. </p>
<p>Also, remember to look beyond the major, wherever you tour, to consider the college environment as a whole, including chances to befriend others with a wide range of ideas from other academic majors.</p>
