Firstly, there's MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in Cambridge, MA, which is renowned as one of the top computer science institutes worldwide. Their Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department (EECS) is known for rigorous coursework and research opportunities.

Another top contender is Harvard University, also in Cambridge, MA. Their computer science program introduces a diverse array of subjects ranging from systems to artificial intelligence, with significant room for exploration.

Carnegie Mellon University has a campus in Pittsburgh, PA and a campus in Silicon Valley, but it's worth mentioning for its top-tier program. It's well-known for a practical approach to computer science, with a focus on problem-solving that's applicable to industry roles.

Brown University in Providence, RI has an innovative computer science program that fosters a strong sense of community. Their open curriculum allows students flexibility in experimenting with cross-disciplinary studies.

Northeastern University, situated in Boston, MA, has a top-rated program as well. Known for its co-op program, it gives students real-world experience along with their studying.

Lastly, Yale University in New Haven, CT's computer science is also a solid option with excellent faculty and research opportunities.
