OOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKKKKKK, I've narrowed my final decision down to:
University of Michigan
And
Rochester Institute of Technology
(For Computer Science)
Vote above!!

I don't think you can go wrong with either choice, as long
as you get your degree. Best Luck!

it depends on what you want to do for a job.
But both schools are good.
U of M is more rounded...
it has a cool campus too.

you should set up a poll option for choosing both colleges...

How about I just NOT sleep, and have an I.V. hooked up to my veins just feeding me coffee 24/7...

I voted for the easy life. LOL, just joking. College or University is a very important time. The easy life comes after you have a career instead of a minimum wage Walmart job. Although sometimes at work the thought of a Walmart greeter job seems inviting........

I would personally recommend R.I.T., but as a matter of fact, getting into the 'computer' field, for lack of better wording, isn't as degree-oriented as it used to be, say, 10 years ago... I am even discouraged from getting a degree by the owners of the company I work for. I want to get one for myself, so I can show myself something that I have accomplished with my life, and so that I can show it to my girls, as they get older, so they have something to strive for,....but if you are looking to it as a means of accreditation or validatoin of knowledge or a good pay rate / salary.... good luck. In this industry, experience is (unfortunately) king.

Yea but with a trade or career you can make 3 to 4 times that amount easy. I have one year of college and an electricians license and with a lot of dedication, various small courses and some hard work have now got myself an office job with more than 5 times that amount. And all of that does not include my Paramedic career as well.
