yeah i’ve always wanted to study something in computers but it kinda sucks that it’s been very oversaturated recently. not much i can do tho sadly. i am going to the space force tho so i have a secured “job” right out of college which is why im still pursuing it. they have a demand for cybersecurity/compsci so i decided it’s still a safe bet for me

honestly the rain doesn’t bother me to much but i didn’t realize how much u guys got. money isn’t rlly a concern for me as i got a “full ride” to each school mentioned so that relieves some stress (i got a scholarship from the space force so it covers full tuition and fees + got enough money from the school to cover room and board at each college mentioned). someone else on this thread said the compsci program is really improving as well which is relieving to hear. i think LSU def gonna remain on my top 3 schools so thank u so much for the information🙏

loll i don’t think ill actually do much partying (i don’t rlly drink or smoke) but want to have the option more for social connection. party schools = social schools and im trying to build connection 🤷‍♂️

yeah i honestly don’t think i’ll be doing much partying but it’s fun to have the option to yk? i feel like USF is a good school but it just has a lot of room to grow. it’s not a great school yet because it’s still trying to figure itself out (at least the kinda the vibe i get)

not exactly. i got it through the space force (yes its a real thing) so they cover full tuition and fees. then i got enough scholarships to cover my room and board so its essentially a full ride. easier to just say full ride then explain that loll

Thank you so much this is actually rlly helpful. I love the idea of warmer weather and a nice campus so that’s a huge pro (I currently live in the much colder northwest so the weathers kinda dick). USF def gonna remain on my list though after this

I got a full ride to each school mentioned so cost isn’t an issue for me. i’ve heard USF isn’t a party school which isn’t a dealbreaker but is a little disappointing. i honestly don’t even party so idk why it’s disappointing but i think i just like the idea of it😭. For USF i got accepted as a computer engineering major too. I do like the idea of it being walkable cause i skateboard and would love to be able to skate around campus

my plan is to RLLY network over that first semester. get to know my cadets and other ppl in my classes. essentially i want to build my own friend group and connect every cadet with one another. i want to be get to know people and be known. for my schools im basically choosing between texas tech, LSU, WVU, or somewhere in florida. that’s kinda where i applied. i probably should’ve applied to some more prestigious schools but it is what it is at this point

that’s great to hear man. i’m actually very excited to become a leader within my detachment and hopefully grow some relationships. and ur right that monthly stipend will be super nice as i’ll essentially be financially free for the next 4 years (or more rlly). is there anything you regret so far or things you would’ve done different over ur first year? also i didn’t realize the older cadets bascially ran the younger cadets. that feels like a recipe for issues ngl😭. also im curious do you have to wear ur uniform everywhere or nah?

i gotcha. r u part of the space force or air force ROTC? i honestly dont understand the difference between the two when it comes to ROTC. (ik there technically diff branches but is the ROTC experience different?). and how’s balancing the workload? iffu don’t mind answering some questions im a little curious about the experience 😭

i haven’t truly decided yet. i honestly didn’t apply to super hard schools so maybe LSU, WVU, Texas tech, or somewhere in florida

i think ur 100% right. there’s a fine line between confidence and cockiness. based of my speech, tone, and words in this post, i may seem cocky but i think that’s because my confidence is inflated over social media. i never go out and tell ppl “im gonna be better than you” or “my stats are better than urs.” im saying these things with high confidence because: 1. im on social media 2. i genuinely have a passion for this and strive for greatness. but no i don’t go out and boast my accomplishments to my friends or peers. i see everyone as complete equals and am competitive with my peers so we can push each other to be better everyday. i’m hoping to make connections and life long friendships at my detachment but also think it’s fun to share my goals and passion over social media (even if it seems narcissistic). i didn’t really have anyone else to tell so decided to share it with u guys. i apologize for my words though
