<p>How is the computer science program for both schools?</p>
<p>UCLA > NYU for CS</p>
<p>I’ll go out on a limb and say that the differences won’t matter to you as an undergraduate student. The undergraduate computer science curriculum is pretty standardized across the country and you would be taking the same courses regardless of where you end up. The two departments have about the same size. Both universities offer enough courses that you won’t be restricted in your course selection. Both universities have talented and motivated undergraduate students and professors who are at or near the top of their game.</p>
<p>If you already had a very narrow interested, you could choose the school that had more faculty (or more accessible or more pleasant to work with) faculty in that specialty. But that’s really more of a concern for graduate than undergraduate students.</p>
<p>You would get a fine education at both. There might be other factors though that might make one university a much better choice for you than the other (e.g. cost or location).</p>
