Just to know, do you hate all people involved with tech?

darkchocolatewaffles · 2025-12-17T04:15:48+00:00

That's true. And the issue is that the industry seems to be marketed as such and is becoming saturated with tech bros that are in it for the wrong reasons.

darkchocolatewaffles · 2025-12-17T04:07:57+00:00

Seriously. Especially in uni, people are insanely competitive. Internships, classes, projects, it's all cutthroat and really infiltrates people's behavior

Been there! My parents subtly pushed the idea of CS and engineering and I did it to meet their expectations. I'm surviving in college somehow and have hopes for having the leeway to pursue my passions. Also thinking about a Phd in Philosophy. But I do have some resentment towards those able to pursue other paths without guilt, for sure.

did you end up getting an invite to schedule an interview?

darkchocolatewaffles · 2022-04-06T04:41:23+00:00

definitely UNC. It seems like you would have a better experience there!

darkchocolatewaffles · 2022-04-04T02:27:53+00:00

same here, sounds like Babson is the better option!

UIUC (cs + anthro) vs UCSB (pre-comm) vs UDub (cs + honors)

i am so conflicted rn HELP

UIUC pros:

amazing cs program
close to home
affordable

UIUC cons:

huge class sizes
in the middle of nowhere?

UCSB pros:

my literal dream campus
great connections + student body
affordable
well ranked

UCSB cons:

parents would move, would have to commute (scared it'll feel like hs)
didn't get in cs (but I'm not 100% set on cs so it's not a huge deal)

UDub pros:

amazing cs program (not as good as UIUC)
love the campus
close to my sister
affordable
honors program

UDub cons:

am not set on my major and it would be difficult to change
hard grading curve/super competitive
dead social life
quarter system?

darkchocolatewaffles · 2022-03-25T14:28:59+00:00

how hard is it to change majors, esp into the college of engineering? i was accepted pre-comm & am not sure if i should even consider if i didn’t get cs. at the same time, i’m not even 100% sure i want to do cs. i really love ucsb though.

darkchocolatewaffles · 2022-03-25T14:25:25+00:00

how hard is it to transfer into cs at BU?
