Purdue Exploratory Studies vs Penn State Computer Science

Hi There,
Our senior got accepted at Purdue Exploratory Studies as well as Penn State Computer Science. He wants to do Computer Science(CS) / Computer Engineering(CE) as major. Wondering how is it at Purdue to get into CS or CE. Not sure which one to pick as both of them look good.
Both of the above colleges are out of state for us.
Appreciate any inputs / advice.
Thanks!

Entrance to major requirements at Purdue and PSU:
