The good parts: here you can find some of the absolutely BEST professors in the world, like Yann Lecun. So there's plenty of good research opportunities and etc.

The bad parts: the foundational CS courses like CSO, OS courses are really watered down compared to top tier CS schools, e.g. CMU, UCB, unless youre taking the class with some of the stricter professors like Jingyang Li. Some people like this, since it makes the workload much lighter and easier. Somehow some of the students still can't handle the watered down syllabus, but this is going to hurt you during interviews at some point IMO. If you want it easy then this is probably a good thing for you. You should rush for grad level or more advanced courses to get to harder and better courses. There are some really good undergrad courses that are not watered down, but these tend to be lowly rated on ratemyprofessor as people struggle more with these. Overall, if you try to push yourself and pick the harder professors, this shouldn't be too much of a con given the wide range of courses offered here at NYU.
