<p>Hi. I'm an incoming '10, and though I'm not exactly planning on majoring in CS, the subject fascinates me, and I have experience with Java and C++. What is your opinion of the courses available in the department? I'd probably start with CS5.</p>
<p>Well, I don't have a great view of the whole program yet, but I took cs5 this past fall. I'm also entering dartmouth this fall...I took the class as a high school student (I live in Hanover). Overall, it was a really good class. Extremely well taught, though tons of work. All the work was very useful though. I never found any assignment to be busy work, and felt that I learned a lot by doing each one. I hear the other courses in the department are similar in caliber.</p>
<p>That sounds cool. I'm honestly considering taking CS up through algorithms, at the very least. The subject is very interesting.</p>
