Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Computer Science  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright Background: I am a computer science major who dreams of working for the 'big' software companies (Google, Apple, Intel, Microsoft, etc). I received the full tuition scholarship and planned to complete undergraduate here, then go elsewhere for a graduate degree. However, I have become disappointed after one year with the lack of opportunities to push myself and plan to transfer to Ann Arbor soon (I'm a sophomore credit-wise). Pro's: - Very gratuitous scholarships (31 ACT is automatic full tuition) - Small classes, individual attention (very useful in some subject areas) - Generally easy coursework - Professors are knowledgeable (one must assume, many in engineering don't speak English very well) - Great internship / co-op opportunities if you are in mechanical engineering (Ford, GM, Chrysler are right next-door) Con's: - Computer science department is a bit sub-par (Visual Basic is a level 300 class???) - Students must actively seek out opportunities to socialize, a major contributor to this problem is the lack of dorms (though dorms are being built soon) - The school has limited funds for computer labs, research, etc., so don't expect to be surrounded by cutting-edge technology - There are MANY return-to-school adults in classes, which isn't necessarily bad, but doesn't help typical-aged college students find social groups In General: - Great school for mechanical engineering - Sub-Par for computer science or other majors that require cutting-edge technology - Hard to find a social group, but most eventually do - The math department is great: rigorous courses with excellent and approachable professors- Good choice as a "stepping stone" college (transfer elsewhere or go on to graduate school elsewhere) Collaboration/Competitive: A+, Social Life: D+ Have a Question?
