If you're considering CSQuite BrightComputer Science
If you're considering CS at this school, even online, I would go anywhere else. I've had nothing but negative experiences at this school and I believe that I am going to have trouble finding a job. I sincerely hope that they close down this major at this school.

Question
The registration department was out dated and resultedSuper BrilliantComputer Science
The registration department was out dated and resulted in numerous errors for student. Student would get registered for courses they did not sign up for resulting in a failed grade. When student attempted to resolve error, was instructed to take it up with the department or instructor. Department or Instructor did not care so would not help student resolve error. Now student has failed courses on permanent transcript.

ODU in primarily a commuter school. So if you live near by it might be a suitable choice, the cost per credit hour are not worth it. The faculty and staff do not take interest in seeing its student succeed. You are only a number on there class registration list. The school does have a reputable sports program, but that would help you get a degree.

Question
Math department at ODUQuite BrightComputer Engineering
Math department at ODU can't teach and have unrealistic expectations of students. In anything involving computer or electrical engineering the professors are not well spoken in English and are mostly immigrants from China.
