So my guidance counselor said that NYU poly has computer science and when i looked at NYU website it said Courant had it. Another person told me CAS had it. So I am confused and dont know which one has Computer Science. Also since NYU Poly is in Brooklyn, do students dorm in normal Undergrad dorms or in special Brooklyn dorms. Are there any interactions between Poly and people on the normal NYU campus?
Thanks
NYU is blessed with two outstanding CS programs. The School of Engineering program focuses on applications and systems and entrepreneurship and also gives you an opportunity to collaborate with all the other engineering departments.
There are dorms in Brooklyn as well.
And yes there are numerous interactions between students and faculty in the two departments.

Courant is associated with CAS which is a separate program from CS in Poly. There is barely any interaction because students from the main campus and poly because they have no reason to go to or visit poly and vice-versa. Dorming is available for Poly students but choosing to dorm in Manhattan is illogical if you have classes in Brooklyn b/c the commute would take 30 min - 1 hr.
Here is some perspective/comparison between the two CS programs:

Poly CS - unranked

NYU Main/Courant - 46th
By grad school:

Poly CS - 70
note: it says New York University Brooklyn, NY
http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-science-schools/computer-science-rankings/page+2
NYU Main/Courant - 29
According to the data gathered from globally acknowledged ranking sites, I would just go with CAS.
