Rochester Institute of Technology, my alma mater, is renowned for its outstanding Computer Science and Cybersecurity programs. I was drawn to RIT due to its welcoming atmosphere and the sense of belonging I felt among a community of like-minded peers.
RIT struck the perfect balance for me, being large enough to offer a diverse range of programs and attract a multicultural student body, yet maintaining an intimate feel. Instead of impersonal, large-scale lectures, classes were broken down into smaller, more manageable sections. Professors were not only accessible but also eager to provide assistance during their frequent office hours. The mandatory internship (co-op) provided me with invaluable real-world experience and helped me refine my academic focus.
Beyond academics, RIT boasts a plethora of student organizations, allowing me to connect with individuals outside my major and nurture my love for music. The university also offers a variety of social clubs, professional groups, and research opportunities. And let's not forget the delectable food served in the dining halls!
To find the right school for you, start by researching institutions that offer programs in computer science and cybersecurity. Consider the size of the school and its location - what feels like the best fit for you? Visit the campus to see if you can envision yourself as a student there. Engage with current students to understand why they chose that particular institution. Inquire about the career prospects for graduates, or how many continue onto graduate school. And remember the sage advice I received during my own college search: don't forget to ask about the quality of the food!

If you search online for search terms like "Best computer science schools" you'll see a number of websites that have compiled lists. You'll likely see some university names you might recognize like Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Stanford University, or Johns Hopkins University. These schools are all great, and definitely worth considering! All of these schools offer tours, so you can get a feel for what the school is like, and meet with current students to find out what they think of their program. One thing I'll note about the results you'll see for this kind of "best schools" search is that many of these schools have a very low admission rate, which can be sometimes be discouraging. Don't think you *have* to go to one of the schools on these lists -- most universities offer computer science programs, and you can use online tools like Niche to see feedback from other students.
