One of my relatives would like to study Computer/ Information Science in the East, of which I have had no knowledge. The ideal school she would like to choose to study would be such as: (1) the tuition must be inexpensive; (2) the program is OK and very easy to get a master/Ph.D degree; (3) the location is better located at suburban New York or its near-by states in the eastern coast; Could Anybody kindly provide me the information about her "ideal" school ? Thank you! -skc

Also, there are many fellowships to apply to, such as NSF, ONR (Office of Naval Research), Hertz, and so forth. (2) the program is OK and very easy to get a master/Ph.D degree; I don't think any PhD program is considered "very easy" :-) The "Gourman Report" provides a reasonable list of good programs, and better yet, and more accurately, ask around. It depends a great deal on what subfields your friend is interested in. (3) the location is better >located at suburban New York or its near-by states in the eastern >coast; One school that comes to mind immediately is SUNY@Stony Brook. If you want suburban, Princeton is good in CS THeory, as in Cornell. You should have your friend write to many schools in the Northeast, get info, and decide what best fits his/her qualifications and interests. > >Could Anybody kindly provide me the information about her "ideal" >school ? I have no idea. I think she is better equipped to decide this, based on what info she can obtain from the schools and what she is interested in. > >Thank you! Your welcome. > >-skc -Debbie

Or at least it ought to be, IMHO. (of course, having a Master's myself, MHO is probably rather biased) "Hurry, send just $19.95 for your very own Ph.D!!
