<p>just wanted to compare the difficulties compared to some of my other choices.</p>
<p>Agh, I heard it was hard. My friend entered as a Comp Sci major and the fall and winter quarters worked her hard. She ended up switching from Comp Sci to Human Development (?). Some major with "human" in it, but she decided that the major wasn't for her. She'll be a sophomore next year, btw.</p>
<p>It depends on your strengths, you know? I mean, the major for her was perfect. Her strengths lie in math so I was surprised when she decided to change out of Comp Sci. But whatever major will bring out the best in you... go for it. :) No major is easy, the way I see it.</p>
<p>I recommend you post your question on the UCSD LJ community. Members there really go out of their way to answer your questions and they're very, very informative.</p>
<p>Well.. I'd like to add to what J.project was saying.</p>
<p>During admit day, I had the opportunity to talk to senior mechanical engineering students working in the labs. These kids were not part of the admit day (so what they said was not scripted or rehreased).</p>
<p>Basically they told me things the tour guides and brochures wont tell you. They said that because the school is state-funded, they have to tel you its possible to graduate in 4 years. But many times, mostly with engineernig, its near impossible. Most do it in 5 years.</p>
<p>He gave me an example. He was sick a day and missed school. Just one day. Hhis grade went from A to C and he was never able to get it back up. And he recommends taking only 3 engineering courses at a time. Though, allt he 4 year plans say 4 classes at a time.</p>
<p>If you look at some of the 4 year plans (especially from Revelle), they say that you NEED summer session courses to complete your degree in 4 years... so.. I don't know for sure how Comp Sci works.. but I'd say you talk to current students and not just with the advisors from UCSD. :)</p>
<p>And yes, the UCSD Community on LJ is GREAT! I'm sure you'll find a comp sci person there.</p>
