Today will be my first day at university (CS). I hope I'll eventually get to know some people and make some friends.
Share university stories and advice.

>tfw this is what I thought it'd be like
>tfw I thought I could just sit alone in all my lectures and take notes
>nope
>prof says you have to sit in a group for the lecture, you have to discuss everything with the people around you and she passes around a stuffed penguin in class, whoever gets it has to answer questions in front of 300 people
I thought you didn't need social skills to do CS. I just wanted to sit alone on the computer and learn the material.

Ikr
Whatever, I'll have a small room all for myself to do whatever the fuck I want. That's going to be comfy as fuck
Also: what is a 5 years degree called in the US?

At least you can study CS. I envy you as we dont have CS in this shit country of eupoor.

That's fucking bad...
the worst part of things like that is that your grades are also affected by how socially awkward you are

Where do you live? I am from Italy, I guess we are pretty advanced in universities and stuff.
>>39510617
Slovakia. We only have some IT and thats it. No wonder I didnt care much about unis here and picked a shitty one. There are no choices compared to outside world/
>>39510640
I feel you. On the other hand here in Italy high schools are becoming worse every year, I also did IT in high school and learnt nothing, I hope university will be better.

I didnt even attend IT high school because I was shit at math. It is my only regret. I did economic oriented high school and then went into psychology. Now I must accept wage slavery because I was a stupid kid.
I wish they didnt have such emphasis on math. There was too much of it and you wont use it if you dont program games or similar stuff. Noone is a scientist here anyway. It is completely useless. Now I can be the one lonely guy in retail who knows more about peoples mind and behavior than average with better computer skills than average but since I dont have the degree in IT I will forever remain a minimum wager because there are no psych jobs.
The regret is too strong.

We don't have a lot of maths here.
>tfw decided to major in math instead of CS because it was easier to get into a uni that way
I mean yeah sure studying applied mathematics should get me very similar jobs as CS majors but that won't matter if I'm never going to graduate. I've only been to a couple of the first lectures and I already got no bloody idea what the professors are talking about.
Fucking hell maybe I should just drop out.
I hate university, I'm just surrounded by rich Chads and Stacies, there are no autists around like me and I'm not even that autistic. One more year and I can get a job.

CS started out as a subset of applied mathematics
I hate people who moan about there being "too much math" in CS
It's all basic discrete "math" with some linear algebra at worst
