Yale was pretty nice. I took the longest on those two. I turned down Princeton and Harvard the second I got into Stanford though.

Yale has a better world recognition than Stanford, but in Engineering/CS Stanford is simply superior and the industry contacts better. Plus, California.

Both offered really good financial aid so I didn't have to choose based on money.

Too bad Dot Comb burst while I was there, maybe Yale would have been less depressing the year no one got jobs.

Don't feel too sorry for yourself. It's not as if you get a blowjob and job offer for $200k when you graduate from a top 10 school.

I have friends who are fucking teachers and bureaucrats, etc. making shit. The economy was so shit when I graduated in 2003 that I worked as a realtor for a few years.

Plus, most of those cushy jobs on Wall Street?? They're not great. They work you to the bone, 90 hours a week or more, and now all of those companies are going under and the first to go are the new hires. Plus, you can make $180k a year in NY and still not afford more than a shot hole box apartment.

I'm glad I didn't end up in an I-bank.... I'd probably have killed myself by now.

I went to Stanford and graduated with no debt. Also, now, every undergrad goes for free. FREE.

My parents lived in a large (1.3 million dollar) house 4000 sqft, on an acre of land in one of the 50 richest towns in America, and Stanford still gave me a virtual full ride.

I worked to pay my food bill and some living expenses and books, but between the aid package and the scholarships I got, I was debt free the day of Graduation.
