Could anyone provide me a list of the top 10 computer science schools in the US? I'm planning on majoring in CS and I'm in the process of formulating my college list.
Sure, I can help with that! While there could be slight variations depending on the source, here's a widely recognized list of top 10 computer science schools in the United States, based on factors such as faculty expertise, research output, and career outcomes:
1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
2. Stanford University

When forming your college list, take into consideration factors other than just rankings. Look also at the culture of the school, its location, the types of research opportunities, class sizes, and whether it aligns with your career goals. Remember, the "best" school isn't necessarily the top-ranked school, but rather the one that fits you best.
