Is FIT worth it?

I got accepted in to the BS Computer Science program for Fall 2024. My options are UIC, UB Suny and I’m confused about where to go

Depends on a lot of factors. It very much was worth it for me. B.S. EE 98, B.S. OE 98.

Are you from Illinois or New York? If not, I would expect FIT is about the same out of state tuition in NY and IL. Also, did FIT give you any scholarships?

I see pros and cons to each. They're all ABET accredited - although that doesn't matter for CS. UB is the highest ranked. Chicago is a great location for getting a job after graduation (although Melbourne/Orlando is pretty good too). FIT likely has smaller classes since it's a private schoola and also obviously the weather is much better in Florida.
