There are a lot of activities happening throughout the year, and lot of research facilities. It's very good for ECE. For CS, prefer NYU Courant. Much better program. Very hard to get in, so peer group would be amazing there. The peer group at Tandon sucks. Filled with incompetent people.

It's going to be expensive. Be prepared to shell out upwards of 1300$ per month of you want a good single room, and would spend money eating out. You can live like rats and get away with 600-700$ per month. But do you really want to?
