University of Nebraska-Lincoln for Accounting
I don't know when I'll end up graduating because I've switched majors a couple of times and my fulfilled requirements are wonky because of it.

That's awesome! With my university's co-op program I also get my graduation date pushed back a year so I'll be 2017 instead of 2016. Hopefully your co-op experience has been good so far.

I go to UMASS Lowell for Computer Science and I just finished my sophomore year. In this coming fall I'll be on a co-op from July to December at Akamai Technologies.

Default Re: The College Thread

For those of you doing Comp Sci, do you have any intentions or goals to go a certain direction with that? I haven't really decided where exactly I want that to end up so I'm curious if any of you may have your goals already set. (If that didn't make sense I'm basically asking if you intend to have any sort of focus or specialty within Computer Science)

When the game isn't fun for you anymore, take a break. It's not a job, nobody here is professional and getting paid to play and force themselves to constantly improve... it's a game.

Dropped out after two years because I didn't like how the program was run/a couple of my professors doing Automotive at Niagara College last year.

Every time this thread comes up, it's amazing to me how pretty much everybody who posts is in comp sci or engineering.
