How is the computer science program at Boston College? Has it improved over the past years?
No, not substantially. When I left (I’m c/o 2020), the department was understaffed and students had overenrolled into the major. That said, even with the staff available, professors still weren’t great.
I know of 3 people in my class who graduated with a CS degree. One now works at Instagram (he started coding in high school though, and really has a knack for it I think, so this is more as a result of him and not the school), a close friend of mine has a standard job as a programmer, and the third is looking for work.
All in all, I think CS at BC needs to improve and wouldn’t recommend coming here if you’re looking to major in that area
