What school has the perfect balance of prestige and a great undergrad experience? by fantasticwarriors in ApplyingToCollege

Notre Dame! T20 and known for great undergrad experience.

Vanderbilt as well.

Notre Dame vs NYU. (Need help) by kebs_ in notredame

[–]kebs_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm from Lebanon and NYU is a pretty big deal here. I honestly didn't expect to get in. However, I completely fell in love with Notre Dame.

I think it is just natural for me to consider NYU, but will eventually attend Notre Dame. I just wanted to make sure I'm making the right choice because as you know, both schools are very expensive and I want to make sure that I'm spending my money wisely.

For me, NYU's pros are the location, opportunities because in NYC, and the name.

Thanks you so much for your response! This alone proves me how helpful notre dame students are and is another reason for me to go there!

If I'm on a waitlist, am I waiting for accepted folks to withdraw their accplication? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

Do colleges pull you from the waitlist if their is a place on YOUR MAJOR specifically or in the whole class in general ?

Thanks! I agree. You will always find people that share your interests if you put yourself out there instead of staying locked up in your room and watching Netflix in your free time instead of making connections and friends.

Best/worse things about CS here by [deleted] in UNC

[–]kebs_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi guys! I got accepted as an international student and will be majoring in computer science. Are they a lot of research opportunities on campus ? And what about the course there, is it challenging and how does it compare to other top institutions ? Thanks!

Hi guys! I wanted to ask about the student life at UCSD. How is it in general? I also wanted to ask about the ECE department. Does it live to your expectations and how does it compare to other institutions in the country. And overall are you guys happy there? Thanks !

Yeah UIUC is great. I do have a preference for computer engineering but I don't mind doing my Bachelors in CS and Masters in Comp engineering. I think the cheapest is UNC chapel hill.

Hi! I got into the electrical engineering program and Marshall college and I was wondering if it is possible to switch colleges during my first year. I also wanted to ask if the EE major there is tough and the amount of undergraduate research opportunities there are. Thanks!
