[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is a junior. Career services is literally non existent. Getting classes for CS remains challenging but is somewhat better than first two years. He is very proactive and has a high GPA but finds the lack of career support and name recognition within the business/tech community disappointing, particularly in light of what the school tells prospective students. Last year’s admin nonsense and some of the infighting in departments is equally annoying. He knows he’s getting a solid education but the overall experience has been lacking. He, along with at least a half dozen of his friends, wish they’d gone elsewhere. I hope it continues to improve, but I would think long and hard before committing to Pomona now.[/quote]
The hive is having consistent programming on startups and meeting with Alum who've built one. This weekend was sparkathon and there’s Claremont accelerator. Mudd has a weekly Cs Newsletter with consistent invitation to cs resume and career events, along with career fair invitations. There’s P-ai where he could lead his own project. There’s many students doing cs research or computational research in neuro, chem, physics, etc. I’m not hearing much effort on his end, beyond him being “proactive” without anything concrete.[/quote]
