Hi,

I'm just wondering what are some of the best college or university for Information Technology?

If you could post some url for the colleges or university it would be much appreciated

I'm 26 and looking at moving over to the USA and studying.


I'm either looking at living in California or New York.

RIT was the first IT major in the country (I went here and was an IT major!) Rochester Institute of Technology or directly to their IT department RIT Information Sciences & Technology

It's in NY state, has lots of international students, and is very technology oriented. It's a great school, but is private so it might be expensive for you. I'm not sure how financial aid works for international students.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology is best in the world. Caltech and Stanford are close. Georgia tech, university of michigan, duke university, rice, university of tennessee. Just about any major state research institution will have a high quality IT program. Alabama has a really good management information systems program which is mainly business related IT.

LOL!
As soon as I read the OP, I thought of RIT. And I didn't go there!
I know many grads who have gone on to excellent paying jobs.

I think i applied to RIT and got accepted...but I ended going to Rutgers (for financial aid reasons) for Computer Science, then switched to Information Technology.

CALIFORNIA:

CalTech, Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC San Diego, USC, Harvey Mudd

NEW YORK:
Columbia, RIT, SUNY-Stony Brook, NYU, Rennsalaer Polytechnic, Uni Rochester, SUNY - Buffalo, Syracuse, Polytechnic University, SUNY-Albany

As far as posting URLs, come on buddy, if you are going to study CS it should be easy enough to do a GOOGLE. Don't expect to be hand fed when studying at university.

You can also do a google for best computer science program (new york, california)
