Quality of CS departments can vary significantly between schools, and often does not correlate well to the general fame and prestige of the school.

A weak CS department may have fewer course offerings, so you may have to self-study some CS topics on your own or on the job after graduation. While self-education in CS is very doable for those who are motivated, if you are going to school to study CS, you might as well choose a school with a more complete CS department so that you can learn CS with the aid of instructors.
