I'm a chemist, not a computer scientist, but I vote for UMN TC because

1) I attended UMN for a year and am slightly biased

2) UMN has the highest job placement rate at graduation (83 %)

3) It has the largest tuition remission rate (86 % receive over 2/3 tuition remission)

4) It and GATech have the highest perceived educational effectiveness

5) The Twin Cities is really a great place to be a graduate student (lots of culture and recreation, despite the cold winters)

My statistics are based on NRC's 1995 report (see PhDs.org), so they're pretty dated. Trying to be less biased, I think GaTech would be a great place to go to school, too, and US News ranks its program higher.

Good luck choosing!
