Computer Science MS - Batch of 2026

3.7

The university provides affordable education and great facilities.

Tips: Students should know that CSU Chico is a good choice for those seeking affordable education with a good academic environment. The campus is well organized, with good facilities for Computer Science students. However, since it's located in a smaller city, students may need to explore options in nearby cities. Overall, I am very satisfied with the course, college and the country.

Likes (Value for money): CSU Chico offers an excellent balance of quality education and affordability. The tuition fees for the MS in Computer Science programme are relatively reasonable compared to many other universities in the United States, making it an attractive option for international students.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Chico offers a few Indian restaurants, but choices are limited and do not fully capture the diversity of Indian cuisine. In the locality, there are a few Indian restaurants like Priya Indian Cuisine and Taj Indian Cuisine which are good.
