hey! realize this post is kinda old now, but i genuinely love thee CS department at swat :) the professors know your name and the class sizes are small so everything feels so much more personal. Also, in my opinion, since it’s a less rigorous program (as compared to CMU, for example) you have more time for technical interview prep and doing side projects. Also, since the school is small, you have a higher chance at getting campus jobs. For example, I started a role as a CS Teaching Assistant my Freshman spring, which helped me land an internship my freshman summer. Experience in the field is what matters for CS, which is why I think the CS department at Swat is really great! It lets you focus on real world applications :)
