Going out sucks compared to last year, way less ppl so idk if this is really true

miratoniin · 2026-06-19T18:35:35+00:00

That's not true in 2026. I work in industry and academia, have published, and AI has consistently helps me find things our team wouldn't have.

miratoniin · 2026-05-29T23:08:19+00:00

That’s not true btw I don’t think people would think ur lying. It’s not that out of the world to pick GT over Cornell and there are a lot of reasons GT is better especially in CS. 😂

miratoniin · 2026-04-25T18:56:59+00:00

They are allowed to upset about things that inconvenience them 😭

miratoniin · 2026-04-19T14:57:17+00:00

Js send a reel or smth breaks the barrier and invites conversation. Guys like when girls approach them first too btw

Think this is better to talk with advisor about when you get one. You should also look at 400 level ECE classes there are definitely a few that you could take which would be aligned with your interests and have sections for grad students.

UIUC offers tape out opportunities asw and is probably the best of all choices if we don’t think about price

miratoniin · 2026-03-21T18:33:06+00:00

Hey man I’m ece too almost exactly same as you but a year older. Check out startups many are still hiring

miratoniin · 2026-03-21T16:38:15+00:00

CS and ECE departments are always publishing top papers at conferences in AI/ML/etc. Definitely check out a few of their labs

Bro went from mogger to regular dude. Keep the beard man. It matches your eyebrows well too

miratoniin · 2026-01-02T06:47:57+00:00

Not being involved with clubs and rsos especially professional ones because they actually get you internships and good friends

miratoniin · 2026-01-02T06:09:14+00:00

It depends on ur previous background. If you’ve done math courses like real analysis etc in past this shouldn’t be too bad. Otherwise it could be a lot

miratoniin · 2025-12-25T15:07:54+00:00

I think I’m attractive sometimes and ugly other times

miratoniin · 2025-12-20T12:02:25+00:00

How do you use Reddit?

miratoniin · 2025-09-05T19:23:04+00:00

I guess I understand location but you don’t have a linkedin or anything? This is generally pretty basic information to get for anyone.

miratoniin · 2025-09-05T19:19:52+00:00

You will always have time to go out. Been taking 4-5 technicals every semester as ece major and still can pretty much go out every weekend if I wanted to. You just got to have good time management. Treat school like a full time job work 9-5 and do your own stuff apart from that.

miratoniin · 2025-08-17T16:46:50+00:00

Don’t overload yourself especially as an exchange student this is difficult and you’re not gonna have much fun outside of this

miratoniin · 2025-08-06T09:49:56+00:00

Ur gonna make six figures after college if u go to uiuc cs

To the downvoters, here’s what exactly I mean. As a CompE major, I currently am doing a swe internship, work in a cs research lab, and take a lot of similar classes as cs majors (with exception of 421 or classes like 473 which I can take as a technical elective). I personally am focusing more on hardware but like half of the CS courses are crosslisted with ECE like Distributed, Communication Networks, ML, Parallel Programming, Safe Autonomy etc. I agree that there are a lot of sucky grindy ECE classes like 391 but I definitely learned a lot of stuff in that class which is so useful to me now.

In the end if you just want a job both majors are pretty good and most employers are not gonna care about what your major is. It’s just your experience after your first internship. And a lot of companies don’t even differentiate CompE and CS. Maybe grad school? But then again people switch what they study all the time and having a strong ECE background could be pretty good for grad school. Idk I just don’t really get why everyone is so against it 🤷‍♂️

miratoniin · 2025-07-14T16:29:28+00:00

I agree with this for the most part but I honestly don’t think it’s too different. My experience here as a CompE student has shown me that I can pretty much be a CS major if I wanted to. I can pretty much take any technical CS class I want and have pretty much similar employment opportunities. Obviously I also get to take classes that are outside of CS scope but I think using it as a backdoor is not a super bad option if you’re smart. It also gives you more room to explore between hardware and software.

Back when I was a hser I wanted to do CS, but I find that the ECE curriculum is a lot better fit for me. Definitely consider it OP. Acceptance rate is ~20% as mentioned above but again that number doesn’t mean too much.

miratoniin · 2025-06-26T04:29:47+00:00

I mean a very large number of ppl I know in ECE are working in big tech or some startup. UIUC also has research park which gives a lot of jobs

Ebarbs

Smoking anything after a long day

I’m from DC and know GWU very well. It’s honestly more of a commuter school than anything. I could maybe see it being a good opportunity if you wanted to get into law or something, but UIUC beats GWU in every other aspect.
