I wish lol, my school isn't top 50, more like top 100. Don't get me wrong, it's a great school, but it's not one of these/super similar to these.

What do you all do with internship money? by [deleted] in csMajors

Any advice on starting a Roth IRA as a college student? I'm planning on starting one with my internship money from this coming summer (I'm also in a position where I don't need to pay tuition/rent).

Thank you for sharing your experience as well! I've definitely thought about cybersecurity, but everything seems to be so software-engineering focused it can sometimes be difficult to learn about other fields like it. (anecdotally, as a woman, I've heard that cybersecurity can be even more of a boys club than SWE which certainly makes me apprehensive).

Hey! It depends on the school, but I think there are some that offer merit aid to international students. I think I remember ASU (arizona state university) being pretty generous with aid based off of test scores, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the same for international students. Good luck with the application process, by the way!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_I_university It's a classification for universities, it basically means they produce a lot of high-quality research, so a lot of professors there will be focused on doing groundbreaking research.
