tbh.....
it all comes down to your own skillz....
UW is a big investment but it is a big name too
UW is a reasearch powerhouse too

#

UTD is also a good school
have heard people saying they have a good team

You get what I mean

#

So it’s like I wanna have a solid solid plan for both

#

Before I pick

But with my credits + language that’s 2 years shaved off if I just grind cs

#

Ok

#

Bet

#

Ty for ur input

#

I’m leaning towards Dallas rn

#

Anyways

full locust
#

Just wanted to add in here that I got a friend rn at UTD who was able to shave off one and a half year in their graduation track and also got an internship at Intuit in his first year

#

do with that what u will, I don’t know much about Wisconsin but in terms of job opportunities for CS it seems like it’s not as prospective as Dallas

#

I would take the full ride/3k tuition imo unless u want to do research

IF you are ambitious, if you can afford to go to a better school and you will stay ambitious after your degree -- go to a better school. Why? Make better connections with people who are smart and equally hungry/motivated; better recruiting; better learning. Better growth curve that will compound over time.

purdue way better than uw madison

#

and OP, UWMad is def good, better than UTD, but I would only justify the cost if it were a CMU, UIUC/GT/UT Austin etc. Imho, go to UtD and take the full ride
