How tough is the MS program in Mechanical Engineering at NYU Poly?

Hello everyone!
I am international student from Brazil, and I just got an offer to pursue my master’s degree in mechanical engineering at NYU Poly.
I have read a lot of comments and feedback on the internet about how hard and tough (because of workload) is engineering graduate programs at NYU Poly. I got an impression that it is even harder than Columbia, CMU and USC .
I am planing to obtain my masters degree with course work option (no thesis), and i just would like to make sure it won’t be hard since I am also looking to enjoy my time at NYC and USC in general.
