Hey Kamini, I wouldn’t suggest Stony Brook for Computer Science. The department is not well known and the experience of the students is not what you would expect. Students choose Stony Brook because it is less expensive option with the same ranking and standard. But the reviews of the department are not worth the investment. CMU is the obvious choice. Better than Stony Brook in every aspect and is worth the investment.
