Is Case Western Computer Science any good?

My son plans to combine economics and computer science. In this respect, CWRU seems to have more flexibility to create double majors and minors. Since it has a reputation as a good engineering school, I would assume the CS programs are fairly good as opposed to some LACs where engineering is not a major area of study. That being said, Purdue has a very good reputation in CS. My son has the same options. If he decides to ultimately lean towards CS then Purdue may get the nod. At a Purdue information session we were told about a two week summer camp for CS freshman but I haven’t been able to find it on their website. This would help to make Purdue feel ‘smaller’ and more intimate. That would be one of the trade-offs of CWRU and Purdue I believe. - small vs. big school feel. Less support in the big school in general .
