In this article, you’ll find out what schools are the best to attend if you want to get a degree in computer science.
Now, I’m a weird case because throughout my life I’ve earned the opportunity to study or work directly at some of the best universities in the world. During my life, I’ve hopped across multiple schools, including MIT, Oxford, Columbia, Imperial College, Caltech, Stanford and Berkeley.
So based on my experience, I’ve decided to create a top of schools for computer science in 2020 so that you folks, who are looking to get a degree in computer science can have a clue of what schools are great to attend to.
I want to admit, that this is based on my
personal viewpoint
and I believe there are
many
other awesome schools for computer science, which I won’t mention in this article purely because I haven’t had direct experience with them. In all the cases below, I’ve either studied, worked, or been close friends with people who have taken or helped teach the classes and programs mentioned.
