Business Outlook
Pros
A graduate degree in Computer Science will greatly enhance your employment prospects.. The professors are knowledgeable in their fields and generally give a lot of personal time to graduate students. The University has a pleasant atmosphere and lots of amenities.
Cons
Graduate school does not include competitive compensation in their package, and at CSU that includes health insurance and student fees, which will amount to 25-30% of your annual income. You will have a hard time making ends meet on your stipend. The quality of research is below that of big name schools and you are unlikely to get into the top conferences and journals unless you work in Atmospheric Science.
