so basically my parents just told me that i have to decide what college i want to attend by tonight
a lot of you people are either in the midst of or through this process(and are interested in the same things i am) so i thought it would be a good place to ask.
so: what place are/were/will you attend/ing, does it have good programs for someone who is interested in programs :P(or robotics stuff, or even engineering[although there are a ton of people in that field, so not so much]), how many $'s would i need, etc
im a teensy weensy bit desperate here so any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks ;D

Where do you live? Or is that not an issue? I am still in high school, but I know of several good CompSci/Engineering schools.

im in phx, az and location is an issue(i have very little money), but anything at all would still be helpful

Hmmm...you can never go wrong with MIT, which is where I'll be headed in a month.
However, it is rather expensive (~$46,000 a year x.x), not to mention a pain to get into.

Lucky bastard.
You get to go to MIT? :c

UC Berkeley is a good choice, that's where I'm going. It's a public school (usually considered the best in the country) so its probably less expensive than a private school even if you're from out of state. It's also consistently in the top 5 schools in the world for computer science and engineering. It's hard to get in though, you pretty much need almost strait A's. This is my first semester there so I haven't actually started yet, but from what I've seen so far, their college of engineering is really nice.

well, U of Tulsa has a good comp sci program, and if you're interested in anything technology/engineering, U of Missouri-Rolla (a.k.a. Missouri Science and Technology) is a good place to go. I think Dartmouth has a good computer program, also.
However, if you're looking for a good buy, Truman State University (in Kirksville, MO) is a very good school with a good computer science program. I think in-state tuition is $11,000, maybe. Out-of-state is $14,000, I believe, but you'll want to look that up.

/\it looks around 13k for out of state
there's no way im getting a definitive answer by tonight, so im not sure how that's going to work out, but thanks for being helpful everyone
