Asked by Paul
I'm trying to decide between SUNY Binghamton, SUNY Stonybrook, and Boston University as a computer science major. Which one has the best CS program?

Of your list, BU is probably the best, with Binghamton falling second, and Stoney Brook third. But BU isn't so far ahead of Binghamton that you should default to BU. Are you in-state NY? If so, and money is a factor at all, then do keep Binghamton in your options. It's a good school, and you'd be getting quite the tuition discount. BU is quite a strong school, overall. But Binghamton is nothing to sneeze at. You'd get a good CS education at either BU or Binghamton, so I think, unless BU is the obvious choice for you, that you can evaluate other factors in addition to their CS department to see which school better fits you.
