To return to the original question about CS at NESCAC, the earlier posts are right — these schools will not have the same level of depth across a wide array of topics as a larger school. Each will have areas of specialty largely driven by 1-2 faculty — Colby is strong in visual media and data analysis, while the AI has been as much around ethics as tech, but is getting stronger. But even in those areas, I recognize that the depth isn’t what it would be at many schools. So I’d suggest that if you have domains within CS that appeal to you, be particularly careful to make sure that there is some academic depth in those areas.
