I came to Cooper for the money (my parents were working minimal-wage jobs at the time), and for the reputation. What I really wanted to do was CS, so I became a BSE (don't know if that option is still available). In the end, I ended up getting a PhD in CS from Columbia, which is exactly what i wanted.

From a CS perspective, Cooper is not ideal, but doable:

Sometimes you would have to lobby profs and other students to offer a specialized course (e.g., databases or descreet math) that is not one of the core engineering disciplines, and hence not offered consistently.

The main thing to keep in mind is knowing what you want, and being able to plan. Profs are (overall) friendly, but are not terribly concerned about guiding students. There were a few exceptions, but, sadly, these guys no longer teach at Cooper.

Overall: great school, smart people, but expect to make your own decisions.
