<p>Caltech has a good computer science program- its graduates go to some very cool places to work. That being said, I’m not in it and can’t really give details.</p>
<p>If you’re picking between Caltech and MIT for CS, strictly speaking MIT probably has a better CS department. That being said, they’re probably pretty close, and you should base your decision on which school you like better non-academically. There’s much more to a school than nit-picking the quality of its departments, and don’t forget that whichever one you pick, you’ll be spending 4 years of your life at.</p>
