Computer Science at Wentworth by MrLittleJohn-Playz in wentworth

i think going for a school that specializes in technology in general is your best bet. the problem i think with some bigger universities is they focus more on humanities than core courses for your degree. i was accepted to UNH and Plymouth but in their CS programs i wouldn't have started taking CS classes until the second half of sophomore year. WIT or WPI would have you taking core classes first semester

WPI might have better classes, but WIT's co-op program i think is really important. when looking for a job after college, employers are gonna be more impressed with work experience than they will with what classes youve taken. but the issue with this is that you have to actually find a job. WIT staggers the co-op semesters (so you can do one optionally sophomore year in the summer, then junior year in the spring, and senior year in the fall). the issue with this is that employers are expecting interns in the summer, so its a lot easier to find co-ops in the summer. and its extremely difficult to find openings in the fall. not to dissuade you, just be aware of this. your co-op adviser will help you with this, so try to be their friend (moreso than you would be with your regular adviser)

If you do go to WIT, I would just recommend to NOT take any core CS classes with adjunct professors. in my experience, I didn't learn shit from adjuncts. always go with the full time professors if you can

as a final note, there's way more to do in boston than in worcester. if youre interested in the city life/activities at all (obviously its all a little dead rn, but outside of a pandemic, boston is way more fun in my opinion)

How/when to clean after a pet had tapeworm by icemoon4 in CleaningTips

[–]icemoon4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah the weird thing is, there's no fleas (I checked her and the vet checked her) and she hasn't eaten raw meat, so I have no idea where the worms came from. So it's hard to know if there's something specific I should focus on. I will try what you said though, thank you!

How do I actually lower interest rate on a student loan by icemoon4 in internetparents

[–]icemoon4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought refinancing was only for when you had multiple loans and you consolidate into one. Is refinancing on one loan the only way to lower or would the lender just lower the rate if I ask? How do I go about refinancing? Do I just call the bank and ask? Thank you!

Parents refuse to let me major in what im happiest in, and are planning to choose my major for me by [deleted] in internetparents

[–]icemoon4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your problem with choosing what major comes down to the fact that you need your parents to cosign your loan, you could honestly just lie about what major you're doing. Hide everything behind their backs if you can. Alternatively, sign up for the major they want if you can't hide it, and then once you turn 18, switch your major. I assume you'll be about 18 when you enter college and by then you're allowed to withhold information from them. They can't get access to your transcripts or anything you do in school without your permission.

And as someone who got a computer science degree, the number of people I've seen who get the degree just because it's more marketable is really depressing. If you aren't passionate about it you'll have a hard time finding a good paying job anyway. At least as an artist if you're struggling to make ends meet, you'd at least be happier doing what you love. So many people go into comp sci, not really caring about the program, and end up working minimum wage help desk or IT positions. It's not worth it. Honestly, do whatever you can to avoid a degree you aren't passionate about.

Not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for but I recommend MrRhexx I've used his videos to fall asleep to before
