College Shtuff

[Bluhman]

University of Rochester: Bachelor of Arts in Comp Sci.

I tried UCSB. Applying for classes was damn hell. So bad, I barely even got into the computer science course at that school.

See, here, Sophomores schedule last, so that's the only year you really get screwed over and can't take the classes you need.

PROTIP: make friends with the secretary at your program's main office as early as possible, preferably in freshman year. Stop in every now and then to chat and talk about random nonsense. Offer her candy maybe. I'm dead serious. A single useful secretary will do more to get you a good schedule than all the planning and phone calls to professors begging to get into full classes will ever do. I had a woman who worked miracles for me. It's the only reason I graduated on time.

You can shut your face.

And how is old Rahchestah treating you?

It's kinda weird how we were all the same age as the majority of the community when we joined, regardless of when we joined. So Charas was originally full of high-schoolers, and now it's full of university students. When you think about it, it's like we grew up together without ever meeting each other.

[A Forgotten Legend]

Huh.  Weird how that worked.

[Osmose1000]

Currently a Senior at Florida Institute of Technology getting a B.S. in Computer Science. As may or may not be obvious, I do web development (although I know how to make the normal kind of program as well ).

As for after college, I'm currently trying to find a company to work full-time for. Having interned at Electronic Arts twice, my recruiter within the company is trying to find a team with an open spot for when I graduate. I also have an on-site interview with Mozilla in about two weeks for a full-time, so we'll see how that goes. Depending on the situation I may or may not apply to a few other companies.

The goal is stable, plentiful income at a decent company, and then lots of saving and paying off of student loans (despite having been on better than a free ride for 3 out of my 4 years in college, I still have ~$10,000 in student loans sitting around, because I made the choice to go to a private college).

You know, I should just remove the font size controls from the forum. I haven't seen it used in any context other than being a brat.

[Prpl_Mage]

At least the shrinking. Increasing the size is rather useful for making titles and stuff.

You're forgetting last week, when he spilled his sippy cup while finger painting.
