MS or BS in Comp/Sci

I have to decide between an MS in Comp/Sci which might be less rigorous
than a BS but treats you like an adult, and works with you, or to take a
rigorous BS at CUNY but where you need to take a lot of childishness and
nonsense, but where it covers the Math field thoroughly.
I have less than one day to decide.
Here is the BS at CUNY
