[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son's best friend is a Physics major at UVa, and seems to be having a good experience.  He is considering graduate school, but has not yet made a final decision on that.  My son is a CS major at W&M.  As almost everyone here has said, I don't think there is an objectively "right" answer here.  Your son will likely do well at either place

How does your son like CS at W&M?  [/quote]

I think he's had a pretty good experience/education.  He is double majoring in math, and has an interest in machine learning and AI.  He ended up landing an internship with the Navy through a coding competition recommended by one of his professors (he also won $4000!).  That internship resulted in a permanent job offer, which he accepted and where he will be starting in June after he graduates.  The one interesting tidbit I've gleaned from him is that it is very possible to get through the major requirements without much actual programming.  So some of that has to be done on the side.  However, given the trajectory of AI, he thinks that basic programming is rapidly becoming less important in the job market.[/quote]
