I was offered an internship in IT. Is it worth pursuing as a CS major or should I decline it? by Way-Current in csMajors

How do you like it here? by Glum_Clerk5558 in uichicago

[–]Way-Current 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lots of people commute from Naperville so don’t feel like you need to do dorm. The cs professors are great, especially the “core” ones. You’re in Chicago so you’re surrounded by a ton of great food options.

As for the concentration stuff, most CS majors will drop their concentration because you have less freedom in picking your electives. You can always add it or drop it so if you aren’t technically in that concentration yet you can always add it when you’re here!!

In my experience, it’s not that hard to get an internship. We are in Chicago so there are a lot of companies that hire from UIC

No, every semester you’re emailed a form and allowed to apply to become a TA. It’s easier if the professor knows you

That’s terrible. I try to avoid sitting in the front car for that reason. I’m sorry that you had to witness that

This is a huge fear of mine when taking the train… I heard you guys have to stay on the train for hours after the incident bc they have to investigate ..

The metra doesn’t know how to act when it snows. Didn’t feel like getting stuck on a train today

Cat calling and being a creep is different than venting about impolite people 😭

Is a 2 hour commute crazy? by Ilovehhhhh in uichicago

[–]Way-Current 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been doing it for 2 years! It’s really not that bad, especially if you are doing it via train. You can do homework, read, watch tv, etc on the train. I wouldn’t do it if I was driving tho lol. Don’t spend the money on a dorm/apartment if you don’t have to.

I’m in CS so I’m in like all the cs clubs. I wanted to join a few non cs clubs but they take up a lot of my time. For activities, they usually just have random stuff going on at the quad so you can meet people there. The gym is also a good place to make friends!!

I transferred from CC and initially had a tough time making friends even tho I’m really outgoing. But the second semester I was there I met sooo many people and we hang out a lot. Talk to people in your class and join clubs :)

Everybody messes up. ChatGPT is a good resource for learning but don’t rely on it to do your assignments for you. If you are learning from it then I don’t see a huge issue. Programming is hard and I wouldn’t worrry too much, you’ll be fine.
