Theory. Not that it's everyone's cup of tea, but you learn a whole lot more about how computers actually work 'close to the metal'. If your goal is to simply work as a programmer, then vocational schools are perfectly fine. If you're truly passionate about programming however, I'd still recommend going to Uni for CS or CEng.

I'm a first year CS major, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. Upper division CS lectures are ballin' as shit though.

Just a quick tangent: what grade are you in Luna?

Yeah, the Associate's is at a community college, so I can transfer to a university for a Bachelor's in the same field. Due to resources, I'm looking at University of Texas at Dallas, but if I have more available by the time it's done, I might go to a better, albeit more distant university for the BD.
Through observation of world events, and enduring life, one cannot deny the existence of the greed, intolerance, hate and immorals of past generations that corrupts the minds of future generations.

Would that be a B.S Computer Science with specialization in software engineering, or a B.S Software Engineering?

From what you've heard, hiw does Notter Dame fair? (I can't spell that)

The degree requirements look good. I'm not a fan of universities having you take additional science pre-reqs first year, but that's just me.

That's funny!

Thanks for the info! 127 credits in four years. Uh, do other colleges offer... Less required work?

Guys, my reign of domination had lasted only twenty minutes. That's nothing compared to Cridone's hour plus the other day. I'm sad
