Hi guys,
I recently visited the UW CSE program and was pretty impressed. Does anybody have any thoughts about how the department compares to the more prestigious/better known places (like MIT, CMU, Stanford)...
I'm torn between UW CSE and Caltech CMS (that's Computing and Mathematical Sciences). One thing that makes the decision hard is that Caltech offered significantly more bling (about 10k more...) and isn't asking me to do any teaching. Anybody else in a similar position?
