NYU Tandon for CS

Hi all, I’m an international student who is currently choosing between UIUC’s CS+Chemistry in their LAS College and NYU’s CS in Tandon. I read a lot about NYU Tandon, about the merger and whatnot and was wondering if there are anyone currently in Tandon, or perhaps even doing CS in Tandon that could tell me how life is there and whether it is worth the higher living cost compared to UIUC. The fees aren’t too much of a difference as I am an international student, so NYU being a private school wouldn’t be an issue. The only issue is with NYU Tandon being “Not really NYU” or has ridiculous workloads, which as a CS student I would expect but I saw so many similar comments that made me wonder if it’s extraordinarily bad there?

I would really appreciate any insight into this and any advice too!

Thanks in advance!
