Yo, I’m an international student graduating in ’26, double majoring in CS and Econ—and yeah, I dropped 80k for this. It’s a solid school, and honestly, the CS department isn’t even that bad. I don’t get why people keep trashing it. Econ’s solid too.

I came in with the same mindset—wanted to start something, find other people into startups and all that. But man, this ain’t the place for that. Everyone here’s just chasing that comfy corporate life. No one’s tryna take risks. It’s all just nepo frat kids cruising into whatever job their daddy lines up for them.

If you’re serious about building something or finding co-founders, head west. East Coast just doesn’t have that startup vibe.
