Agreed, there many good positions for new college grads. I don't think there is any better location than SV when starting a software engineering career.
While housing prices are quite high, working in technology you are certainly able to afford the higher rents. The problem is when you don't work in tech and live here.

I enjoy the open floor plan as well. The ease in which I can have conversations with my manager (assuming they are sitting near to me) is probably the biggest benefit. I feel this makes me more productive since more impromptu conversations can take place. Being able to listen in on any random coworker conversations and nerf gun battles is nice as well. However, on the few occasions when private space in necessary, then an office would be preferred. Of course, many others prefer individual offices to an open floor plan. Similar to living in a city or the suburbs (SF vs. Silicon Valley here in the Bay area), it is a personal preference that never ceases to divide people.

Reminds me of this Gladwell New Yorker article of Early and Late Bloomers: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/10/20/081020fa_fact_... (posted originally in another thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5737724)

Apply to CS grad schools. See if you can work with any researchers or professors that will lead to publishable work. Read through their papers so you can see what they are working on and try contact a few people that have the same interests you do. (You mentioned genetic algorithms, neural networks and functional programming.) I've trying to do the same thing at the moment. Contact info is in my profile if you have questions. Good luck!

Don't be fooled by the title. This is quite a good article about some of Google's early key engineers.
