How difficult is Computer Science at UIUC?

<p>Thinking about attending because I heard the program is great. I don't mind doing rigorous work, but at the same time I don't want to be clawing for a few hours of extra sleep and being socially handicapped by the workload.</p>

<p>Does anybody have any general opinions on the difficulty of a CS major here?</p>

<p>If you say that some may question whether you really want to be in engineering. However, for most it is nothing as bad as that but it does consume significant out of class time, very often double and up to triple what a typical LAS major is doing but then many of those LAS majors are only studying 10-15 hours a week except around exam time when it increases.</p>
