I don’t know anyone in the combined major, but I know 4-5 animation students, 2-3 of which are doing a CS minor - a Digital Art / CS student will overlap a lot with them class-wise - all of them are very happy with classes on both ends as far as I know!
I’m only a sophomore, but the academics are just the same as any other school when it comes to graduating on time - the only difference is that there are co-ops in between, and some opt for summer sessions to graduate earlier as they wish. Most people I know do the 4-year program and have plenty of time. With AB/IB credit, it’s even easier. All of this works out tuition-wise to the same as a 4-year university.
For what it’s worth, I agree with the others when it comes to prestige not being important - I think the difference comes in the quality of the program and the co-op program, which is the best of its kind with incredible experience and connections for students. I also looked at Drexel and did not apply - I still think narrowing to Temple vs NEU is the best option - the middle ground will offer a higher price without really much difference in program quality compared to Temple.
