FHSU Computer Science

There are a few schools with GREAT reputations outside of their local area (Harvard for example), a few schools with Bad reputations, and then THE REST. Out of 4,000+ colleges and universities in the US, I'd say 30 schools fall into the first category, 10 fall into the second, and the other 3,960 schools fall into the 3rd category.

If you can do a GREAT school for cheap, then do so. If you can't, then avoid the bad and go for good. Whatever you can do debt free is what I would choose. I wouldn't have any qualms about going to FHSU at all. It's a perfectly fine state school. If he wants to make his degree more rigorous, he can do that on his own by taking more/harder courses as electives.
