The alternative to the best American universities in CS and to OxBridge in England are the two Swiss federal schools EPFL/ETHZ in Lausanne and Zurich (World's Top 10 and top 6 in science and technology). These two schools are almost free (1750 USD/year tuition fees) and offer world-class CS training, of which that of EPFL is considered today to be just below that of Stanford. And the European centers of Meta, AWS, Disney research, IBM quantum, Google are located in Switzerland, a very pleasant and very safe country. A foreign student is authorized to work 15 hours per week after 6 months of presence at the rate of 27.16USD/hour! An interesting avenue to consider for a young, adventurous American citizen who cannot afford to pay several hundred thousand dollars in tuition fees for a world-ranked 5 year’s master's degree in CS.
A good list, regardless of order of ranking. The only "top" program that's omitted is maybe UCSD. ...but no program listed is 100% unworthy of the list.

Why don't people take admissions at MIT after undergraduate for MS.
