I heard that the university of florida is pretty good..also you might want to check out Penn State

CS deals more with software and programming.\n\nCE includes hardware and architecture

It depends on the Computer Science degree and what specialties interest you. Computer Science can be and is MORE than just knowing how to write programs in Java, C++, or pick your favorite programming language.\n\nI have a BSc in Computer Science and Mathematics and I've been working professionally for 20 years.  Some of what I've learned came from my university degree.  Much of what I use day-to-day is self taught from book, the school of hardknocks, and a rare seminar.\n\nSome people get away with very little mathematics other than Calculus, Probability Theory, Linear Algebra, and maybe some form of Mathematical Induction.\n\nI started in Physics and this had much greater requirements for Mathematics including Tensor Analysis, Fourier Transforms, Differential Equations, et cetera.  This foundation has given me a leg up on understanding scientific applications of "Computer Science".\n\nThe Lineary Algebra was extremely valuable for 3D Computer Graphics algorithms that I worked on.  All of the other math was useful for data visualization that I've done.\n\nBUT, there is one area in which Computer Engineers and Computer Scientists, even up through PhD level are woefully deficient in their training -- Statistics, Probabilistic Modeling, and Decision Theory.\n\nBecause of this lack of training, so called CS people and computer people over spent BILLIONS of DOLLARS during the Internet boom that literally went down the drain because they didn't know what the needed to know about modeling, capacity planning, and queueing theory.  I witnessed this first hand at two companies that went bankrupt. So called "CS" people proposed and sometimes implemented solutions and architectures that cost $20M, $50M, at worst $1B when a properly designed solution would cost $2M-$4M. \n\nRepeatedly I've seen many, many, many papers published by so-called Computer Scientists from reputable universities that lacked basic statistical rigor.  Did you know that just because the average number you compute is "bigger", there is always the probability that it is not actually bigger?  If the numbers are based on samples, there is always a probability that two numbers could flip relative to each other?  This basic foundation in Statistics is a requirement for many many science disciplines including Genetics, Biology, Medicine, Social Sciences, and yet is perplexingly missing from a so-called "Science" discipline of Computer Science.\n\nI would recommend supplementing your CS degree with several courses in Statistics and Probability Theory or Modeling.  Queuing Theory or Reliability Analysis would be very useful if you plan on design large scale systems. Bayesian Statistics has it's value and provides some of the underpinnings of Bayesian Networks.\n\nI can't help but wonder how much money in the world would have been saved and how many YEARS of my life I could have dedicated to other activities if more computer scientists had a better grounding in the principles of science, especially Statistics.\n\nSorry for this rant.  Hope it gives you some perspective.\n\nTo sum it up, the more you know, the more you can make better decisions.

Probably Columbia University, down in NYC. Also check Cornell, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and New York University. \n\nI used to recruit for Computer Engineering positions, and I recruited heavily at RPI. Good school, good reputation, students who are both smart at school and can apply it in the real world.

University of Michigan has a great program! Also, George Washington Univ. isn't bad.

UC Berkeley - best university in the world.

You can major in Computer Engineering.  Devry has good classes as far as that goes. You can also take the Certification path and get the A+, and Cisco, and alot of different certifications

What is CS?\n\nWMU is a great school, in general.

Some of the best computer engineering colleges in the USA include MIT, California Institute of Technology, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon and the University of Maryland. Some pubications have developed more extensive rankings for this field. For a list of rankings, visit the site below.

preferable QUT for computer studies, but for better future...go UOM...the first Uni in Aust and the top 16 in the world
552996
Carnegie Mellon University (Pennsylvania)\n\n-Ranked top 20-25 nationwide\n-Really good theatre/music program (good program in engineering and computer science as well)\n\nAcceptance rate: about 40%, and 53%  if you apply ED (Early Decision)\n\nWebsite: http://www.cmu.edu

maybe civil engineering. but Tech is fairly dead unless your living in south east asia, or from india. \nand the more math you know, the easier computer science courses tend to be. \n\nYou should REALLY consider the Health care industry. they get paid a lot of money and they have a growing need, while tech is seriously declining or being outsourced to foreign countries.

Depends on where you want to live.\n\nCalifornia: -- Try Cal Poly SLO (for Engineering and Architecture), CSU Chico for Engineering, UC Davis for Engineering.\n\nSchools like MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley have great graduate programs but worthless undergrad degrees.

There are many good colleges in the US,\nit really depends on ur abilities, and where u want to go

MIT and Caltech. But you probably won't get in there, plus it's about $45,000/year for either. Next is probably Georgia Tech, which is much more reasonably priced.\n\nOh, and for undergraduate programs, it really doesn't matter where you go that much.

I  have known some friends who went to Winona State University in Minnesota.  They both work with computers now and have a good jobs.  It is a beautiful area.
