After being out of school for a year now, I have found myself looking into heading back into academia. Currently I'm looking at Portland State University for computer science. I don't want to limit myself to looking at one school, but I'm not sure what other schools offer good, affordable programs.

I think that any perlmonks who have yet to look at colleges could benefit from any advice by monks who are, or were at college.

I personally am thinking about the following things while making my choice(in no order):

What colleges out there do other perlmonks go to? Teach at? Dislike? I'm curious and I suspect that some other monks might be as well.

Thanks to mexnix for his Formal Education Required? node which inspired this node.

P.S. I hope this hasn't been discussed before, as a search in Super Search turned up no discussions on the subject
