<p>Hi! An international applicant from Indonesia here. I got into Caltech and Carnegie Mellon(SCS), but cant seem to decide which one should I prefer over the other.. What do you think?</p>

<p>One on hand CMU's CS program has its reputation and on the other there's Caltech which is..well....Caltech.</p>

<p>Im fairly certain I would opt for the Computer Science program even at Caltech. Please help me weigh every pro n con of these two universities(in context of their CS program). Any and every helpful opinion would be much appreciated...</p>

<p>I suggest you go to their CS websites, and study the undergraduate program offered at each of the universities, so you can get more detailed information/insights (particularly about current researches that match your area of interests) about both of them. </p>

<p>This is the website for Caltech's CS undergraduate program:

<p>Hope that helps</p>

<p>I suggest you check out the CMU board since there's a thread or two with people asking the same question you have.</p>
