Prospective CS Undergrad Student (Senior in HS)

<p>I have been struggling between computer engineering and computer science as a potential field of study for quite some time. I know I won't have to choose my major until my soph. year, but some of the universities I was considering have separate colleges for different majors (engineering college obviously for engineering and liberal arts college for computer science).</p>

<p>I've seen USNWR rankings for undergraduate engineering colleges and programs, so if I went with engineering I'd have something to which I could refer. However, I'm starting to think now that computer science is a better fit for me, but I haven't found any rankings relating to that major, so I don't know what would be an ideal school for CS. It's not that I trust the rankings 100 percent, I just need some sort of reference point for schools. Do you guys know of any schools with respectable CS programs? I would just like a list of schools (both liberal arts and pure tech) in the Northeast that are worth checking out.</p>

<p>Also, would it be worth majoring in CS while attending the following schools: Fordham, SUNY Binghamton, Columbia, NYU, Cornell?</p>

<p>It's just a list of some schools in New York that came to mind (I live in NYC, so anything in the state is always good). I know Cornell is great for engineering, but is it just as good for CS?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Harvey Mudd College is a Liberal Arts College with top engineering and computer science programs, and you dont have to to worry about the majors being apart of a separate college. It is in southern California though. </p>

<p>I guess I wasn't looking hard enough (sorry about that). Thanks a bunch!</p>
