CMU has one of the top Drama schools in the US and great music and fine arts programs as well. As a CS major, you can take art classes as electives and even graduate with a minor in music for example.

Frankly the only reason I can possibly think of to choose Columbia over CMU would be the Ivy label (since you are from the UK, that may make a difference when you go back home). Having said that, I don’t think that is really an issue in areas like CS or engineering where CMU is actually far more prestigious than Columbia anyway.
