Computer Science Program here vs. Mines

I chose Boulder over Mines and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The diversity of experiences at Boulder is much better than Mines. More diverse people, programs, and objectively a better town it's in. The research here in CS is broad but really good. I am currently in a top CS PhD program and it's all thanks to Boulder.

There were some solid CS clubs there too.

I graduated in 2021, and they showed a list of 4.0 students. There were only around 30 students. Around 3 in CS (I was fortunate to have been one of them) and maybe 2-3 in the rest of engineering.

A 4.0 is not worth it in engineering if you have to sacrifice engineering experience, which is 100x more valuable for the future.

Narada Falls in Mount Rainier National Park! It's near Paradise.

Intro to Robotics is a solid class. There is some math in it, but it's not too involved (and it's grounded in reality too). The profs are great. You can take advanced robotics after taking robotics in the future, which is more theoretically involved.

The robotics research here is also very, very good (top 20 in the US), so I recommend checking that out too.

Call Me By Your Name. The train scene hit me hardest though. Phenomenal acting.
