oxford, cambridge and some others are also good universities.

MIT is i think the top university in USA, and one of the top ten in the world,  i am not sure if it's the best university for programmers though, but it should be very good. Tim Berners lee is an MIT graduate he invented the internet and everything to do with it, great guy!

the inventor of packets (a programmin stuff) is also a graduate of mit

Its MIT is in America

And i don't care what timesonline has to say, sounds like it doesn't know about MIT

Most of the programmers i have heard of, all the genius guys, Tim Berners lee who invented the HTTP which is how the internet came to exist, and as i said the packets (this is also a programmin thing  to do with the internet) is invented by MIT graduates.

So never tell me MIT is not the greatest university for programmers! It was as a matter of fact used in WW2 to do researches.

I know wat people says but still computer science necessarily be called a science field, i mean yeah it does have quite a lot to do with physics, but chemistry? acids will burn it and alkalis will do watever  ;D, as for biology, well you cant cut up computers, and check for diseases!

A US university may or may not be the best. That is irrelevant cos there are nuts about security over there and anyone who isnt the son of god wont get the duard daogs. I reckon Cambridge or UCL is the best bet for non eu or us students..

well i kinda think its difficult 2 say wat da "best" uni is 4 ny course. ther are 10000's of uni's out dere. and keepin dat in mind, da top 200 prob differ by 0.9%. + gettn in2 uni's lik MIT is tremendously difficult n near impossib. i small screw up n its all ovr.
dere r so many dat r gud. if u want 2 look at engineering, deres....cambridge, oxford, UCL, university college london, imperial college london, MIT, CIT, uni of california (which hav 6-7 branches n all in top 100) & pennsylvania uni.....and sum less known but still in top 50, singapore institute of tech, australian national uni, melbourne uni, indian institute of tech (which is incidentally top 10), toronto uni, macgill uni, seoul institute of tech.......and da list goes on & on & on & on....frm all diffrnt countries in da wrld. it all cums down 2 da talent da YOU hav. yes a degree frm a reputed uni is gr8 but remembr dat der isnt just 1. take a carefull look around at which uni would suit u...so many factors 2 be considered...

You are asking for online course or regular course. As many top universities like UoP, Ashford, Argosy have also started online degree programs along with their regular courses.
