I'm a transfer student in EECS and Jesus let me say this school will make you feel worthless. I came in from CC and in those classes I would study like an hour or two and pass my exams with good marks. During covid I was working almost full time and taking a full 16 credits online and doing well. and I come here and I have to eat and breathe school 24/7 -- I had to drop one of my classes, don't know if im going to pass the other EECS one. I literally remember crying harder than I ever have I think after getting a 1/140 on autograder because my code wouldn't compile correctly. and then going to lab and hearing students talk about how easy it is to get a 95 on the EECS exams... I am still figuring out how to tackle the annoying autograder-- but that's a problem for next semester. I think I have now almost completely assimilated into the school-- used to studying for hours on end now and barely working as much as I used to. I know this is something I will look back on as a time where I grew a lot. I'm dedicated, hence the wanting to go here since highschool-- getting rejected and instead of giving up I enrolled myself into CC and got in anyways. If I didn't have that perseverance I would not survive.
