sounds like you are leaning toward UW and if that makes the most sense financially, id say go forit
#UW Bothell (CS) vs Purdue (Cybersecurity) vs UMich (CS)
peak summit
unless you think you can comfortably pay the tuition at umich despite its staggering cost, i think UW is the champion
subtle cobalt
honestly i'd go with UW bothell and maybe pursue some sort of more prestigious degree later on
eternal zenith
idt umich is worth it if your only goal is to get a job after you graduate and that too in SWE
if you want to explore different fields within CS umich is probably better
i think umich is particularly strong in AI
doing SWE is based more on ur own merit
if the cost doesn't really affect you, umich is much better IMO
fair kestrel
that 4k extra shouldn't be a concern when you're already paying 50k extra lol
if paying for umich won't have a significant impact on your family's finances, go there easily
if you want to go hardcore into cybersecurity, then purdue's like top3 in the world for that
if money is an object, uw
unique fern
if cost isnt an issue id go umich
