Management Information System

I was accepted in Stony Brook University, NYIT, University of Maryland, New York City College of Technology (City Tech) and New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). But I have chose Stony Brook University and NJIT from all in the list to complete my bachelors. I live in Queens, New York. I want to do my bachelors in either Computer Science or Information Systems / Information Technology. Can someone suggest me which school should I attend to get the degree, in terms of good education, job opportunity and cost of attendance? I would appreciate your time and advise. Thank you.

I graduated from NJIT with a CS degree but I am going to be unbiased when I answer your question…

For undergraduate education (PhD is a different story), both Stony Brook, NJIT and Maryland are about the same since they are all Tier-1 research universities with good professors . However in your case, I figured out you probably chose only NJIT and Stony Brook because of proximity to home. Because both Stony Brook and NJIT are located in the metro area…they are equally likely to get you employed.. Employers look at your GPA and the other things that you put down in your resume and make the decision after they call you up for interview to see the kind of person (looks, communication skills, attitude etc) that you are and whether you would fit in. As for cost of attendance, you probably would know it better than I do after factoring in all the financial aids and university quoted costs.

I would tend to think that Stony Brook U would give you a better value-for-money as you would be paying in-state tuition vs out-of-state at NJIT. So if I am you, I would choose Stony Brook only because of cost-factor.
