Both of them are equally good and provide comparatively cheaper education in the field of Computer Science. The only difference you will experience is in the living conditions, location, cheaper lifestyle, etc. Some other things you should focus about are the placement opportunities, average salary obtained by the students of that University, living expenses, etc.

Students should also look for the social and political life of the institutions. Which school provides you with an atmosphere that will be suitable for you? Both of these have graduates earning between 61,000- 91,000 USD and good placement rate, so you should consider other factors as well.

The following table provides some information about both the institutions:

San Jose State University Portland State University
Tuition fee for the 1st year (international students) $ 17,225 $ 24,530
Acceptance rate 55% 96%
International students’ percentage 12% 6%
Average starting salary $91,000 $61,000
Financial aids Loans, grants, awards and scholarships Scholarships

Whichever school offers you a better lifestyle in all aspects and better future opportunities, you should choose.
