[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've got a kid who is currently a sophomore there, and largely agree with the previous 3 posts.  He went in planning to double major in Computer Science and Spanish (Hispanic Studies), but has ditched the Spanish major in favor of Math.  Its relatively expensive for a state school, but still cheaper than private.  He has had good direct interaction with several professors in different departments, which I think is a hallmark of the WM experience.[/quote]

DS is a rising senior in FCPS interested in WM, Tech and VCU in  state for CS. No interest in UVA. Other schools are all "up north". May be early, but hass your student mentioned the availability of internships and job recruitment?  [/quote]

There are definitely resources available through the University.  He applied for dozens and dozens of summer internships.  When he finally secured one (with a Long Island manufacturing company), he had been rejected from many, many places, and was still in the pipeline for some.  I will be curious to see how he does for next summer, when he will be less than a year away from graduation and will have practical work experience under his belt.  Although he has done very, very well in all his classes (straight A's through 3 semesters), including his CS and Math classes, he doesn't have much "real world" experience yet in the field.
