Hello everyone! I am an EE student who has little knowledge background of computer science or software engineering, but I'd like to switch to that. I plan to work after acquiring my M.S. degree, should I go to CMU's silicon valley campus (ECE program) to learn while training in many projects or should I go to ucsb (Computer E program) to start from the very basic? Speaking of cs or software, CMU‘s reputation is just better, but I feel weird going to a satellite campus. And UCSB is better in speak of facilities and amenities.Seems really a tough choice for me. Would anyone offer me some advice?

Thanks for sharing what natives think of UCSB!

Hi, as you've mentioned, UCSB only has one campus. I also feel weird going to a satellite campus. And UCSB is surely better in speak of facilities and amenities. I am alien, so I don't know how the IT guys in the USA think of computer science or software engineering in UCSB. As we know CMU wins hands down in CS related areas, and I am afraid if UCSB is not as reputable in getting me a job in software.
