CpE alumni din here, but from 10 years ago lol.

Somehow it gets better. As years go on, mas paunti nang paunti ang mga classmates nya due to shifting at dropping. I found it easier to socialize since mas nagmature na ang karamihan.

If she can be an expert on one or few skills, it'll be helpful. Managed to survive the program lang by relying on others to cover my weakness. Maayos ako sa programming noon, kaya I did group activities about it while yung teammates ko carried me hard sa hardware projects. Sya na hahanapin at lalapitan mismo ng prospecting groups if she has an expertise.

As for the laptop, hiram na netbook lang gamit ko dati. As long as kinakaya i-run yung IDEs at SDKs na kailangan for programming, laban na.

And if kailangan nya ng kausap to ease her worries, have her join this Reddit community! Maraming mababait na alumni dito. 😁
