>(1) the tuition must be inexpensive; 
Most (all?) schools offer stipends to subsidize living and tuition-free study
for PhD's in CS (and other technical/scientific research fields).  Also, there
are many fellowships to apply to, such as NSF, ONR (Office of Naval Research),
Hertz, and so forth.

(2) the program is OK and very easy to get a master/Ph.D degree; 
I don't think any PhD program is considered "very easy" :-)
The "Gourman Report" provides a reasonable list of good programs, and
better yet, and more accurately, ask around.  It depends a great deal on what
subfields your friend is interested in.

(3) the location is better

One school that comes to mind immediately is SUNY@Stony Brook.  If you want
suburban, Princeton is good in CS THeory, as in Cornell.  
You should have your friend write
to many schools in the Northeast, get info, and decide what best fits his/her
qualifications and interests.

I have no idea.  I think she is better equipped to decide this, based on what
info she can obtain from the schools and what she is interested in.
