Masters Degree: Computer Science or Computer Engineering?

I will be joining one of the two master's programs this fall. My goal is to enter the ML industry after completing the degree with a good job. The problem is, CE admit is from a really popular university in a big city. NYU in NYC. Whereas CS admit is from a not so popular but a good university in not that big of a city. CU Boulder in Boulder (next to Denver, Colorado).

I can completely mold the CS degree around my ML interest. whereas in CE, I will have to take 2 hardware-related core courses which I don't like much but the remaining can be almost all related to my interests.

Please suggest one of the two programs based on your experience. And please comment on whether in the long run, the MS computer engineering from NYU will matter more or the MS CS from CU Boulder.

I actually applied for MS CS at NYU. If the admit was in MS CS at NYU, then I will choose it in a heartbeat over MS CS at CU Boulder. But it is the MS CE in comparison to MS CS that is making it difficult for me to decide.
