Adding some more to what was already said up there^^

CMU ( information systems, ux design concentration, you could add HCI second major as well)

RIT (NMD, HCC)

Georgia Tech (Computational media)

UIUC (Information science, ux/hci pathway)

Purdue (ux design)

WashU (you can do CS with an HCI minor, I hear a lot of people double major)

I want to go in the same direction as you with cs and ux design!!

Hopefully this helps haha
I applied to almost all of the colleges listed in this thread so far so let’s see where I end up noooo

I think Purdue ux isn’t too hard to get into, RIT would be a safety, UCSD has cogsci and you can choose a specialization in design and interaction
You’re instate for ucsd so hopefully it would be safe enough haha
Not sure if you want to do cognitive science though

#

I don’t really like RIT :-(

It’s in Rochester so it’s freezing cold and prolly snowing a large portion of the time, there isnt much to do around there I think too. I read on Reddit (reliable?) that the food isn’t good, and if you search up the demographics it doesn’t seem to be very diverse

#

Apparently the gender ratio seems to be a problem too haha

#

Those are just my conclusions from my research though

#

Campus looks ugly too meltingsob

#

UNC might be worth a look; our CS and IS programs are super strong, a lot of kids double major between them, and IS majors can focus on UX (+ many BSIS grads go into UX)

#

BSIS doesn't have explicit "concentrations" but there are suggested elective groups (I think this one specifically would be good for UX, and these aren't the only UX/UX-adjacent courses)
