[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How big are the classes at Wisconsin compared to CMU? Class size can play a huge role in experiences. Also, is DC a boy or a girl? If your DC is a girl, how do girls fare at these schools? Are there supports for females in these programs? Are the professors supportive of females in their CS programs? (HUGE concern for females-- not to be under emphasized-- this is a very real problem) Also, what is the atmosphere like for CS students at these schools. Is the culture one where fellow students scoff at their peers for asking questions when they need help? Maybe your DC wouldn't be bothered by that? That is something huge to consider. [b]CS students can be very snotty and judgmental and not collegiate at some big state schools [/b]I know of -- [b]actually one in particular[/b]. [/quote]

Which one?  Please name, some of us are trying to learn the 'lay of the land' to help advise our underclass kids with interest in CS and all this info is useful, even if some are anecdotal. Helps advise further research. Thanks![/quote]

That is quite a statement.  Totally am curious of which school this may be.

Personally UVA CS in the E School in the mid 90s was a great experience.  When I think back to those 4 years, I think of those lates nights of grocery runs to grab Mountain Dew and meeting the Papa John’s delivery man in front of Olson Hall.   Papa Johns was just starting at that point and no one would deliver that late into the evening.  There was a lot of huddling together trying to help debug a program or fixing the rover.  We were tight.
