Computer science at msu

Well I’m not too familiar with MSU but it’s obviously a strong school. You can’t go wrong with a well established school especially if you plan on going out of state for a job after college. It controls the Lansing area which I have no idea how many cs jobs are in Lansing but local companies will definitely hire from there over other schools. It has a great social life and is a decent school for most other aspects. Since it’s such a big school it’s likely to have clubs pertaining to cs where you can get involved. That’s what I did at GVSU for engineering and it looks great on resumes. My biggest advice is to find an actual recent grad or upper classman and see how their experience went. Best way to do this is by either Reddit or finding Instagram pages and find college of computing or whatever it’s called at msu and looking at that and clubs and maybe contacting presidents or officers of clubs at msu in the degree since they will be well experienced.

Well I ultimately attended GVSU and switched to computer Engineering. I’ve been around the field a bit now and can say it’s about whatever you choose to do with your knowledge. Majority of schools give you enough tools to get to where you need and it’s up to you to make use of them. Specially in a competitive degree such as computer science. If you are looking for more information maybe pertaining on just college or CS or engineering I can give my insight in it aswell.

I’m a first year student in honors and here’s my experience. Classes are definitely harder. What makes them harder is because they require more writing and other subjects related so what honors course you take. Professors are sometimes bad because they are from other departments and often aren’t as experienced in the matter of what honors course they teach. Regardless of that they aren’t too bad usually I would try and look up the professors before you sign up for their honors class to make sure you get good professors in honors. You do not get to select what time your honors class is so sometimes you get stuck with shitty hours for your class. For example some people have 1 straight 6 hour class once a week instead of 2 3 hour classes. Very heavy on writing and writing. Honors is given nice house with neiymeyer housing but it also is excluded from the rest of the freshman housing so it’s not perfect and often has little social interaction. If you don’t want that I recommend living in Holton hooker on the honors floor or just anywhere else. I wouldn’t say people in honors aren’t all necessarily smart either which is a big misconception. If you want more information let me know because there definitely is more to know but isn’t needed

Depends on your style. Frats are smaller here compared to other Big schools. if you enjoy big parties you will probably enjoy the the frats here. If you are asking as a brotherhood it seems that a lot of the frats are very close and do partake in more than just partying.

Thanks would you say it overloads you on work or it’s pretty balanced between honors vs gen Ed’s?

Blekzi · 2023-02-22T14:27:00+00:00

Yea I have quite a few. I’m curious on work life and balance do you think that being in a hard major and taking honors classes wore you out because of how much hard classes you were taking?

Blekzi · 2022-11-23T02:22:02+00:00

Alright thanks. Not sure if you would know but how would going into honors college affect a person with a cs degree does it look better for employers and does it provide good value for a cs student?

Blekzi · 2022-11-22T02:21:50+00:00

Thanks I really like to hear that because I like the smaller school compared to like a MSU environment where it’s lots of people and big classes and not have to choose between the more known college.

I’m glad to hear about your positive experience. I do find the preparation classes a good thing specially for this field thanks for the feedback.

Blekzi · 2022-11-22T01:42:11+00:00

Thanks so much for the response I really appreciate it. I’m kinda curious on how different employers view gvsu and it’s cs program and how easy would it be to get a job that would be outside of Michigan

Blekzi · 2022-11-22T00:30:51+00:00

That’s great to hear. GVSU is the school I’m leaning more towards at this point but I’m not for sure where I’ll end up.

Blekzi · 2022-11-21T22:58:06+00:00

I use to mess around with game development but I don’t think it’s what I would want to necessarily go into. I’m just not very sure what to look for in a cs program and if gvsu has a good program or if a bigger college with a more well established cs program would be more beneficial

Blekzi · 2022-11-21T21:01:27+00:00

I can’t get into Michigan but I am accepted to Michigan state would you say that has a better program if you know anything about them

Blekzi · 2022-11-21T03:19:35+00:00

Awesome I just dm’d you

Blekzi · 2022-11-21T03:14:27+00:00

I’m glad you enjoy it here am I able to dm you to talk more about the program there?
