I’m currently a CS major at Northwestern–so I thought you might want to know that we actually do come out of the woodwork every now and then.

The computer science department is amazing at NU; you can choose to get involved in several different research projects. Professors encourage undergraduates to come up with their own research and provide the support, motivation and (sometimes) funding to accomplish this.

I’m actually taking a class from Bob Adolf at the moment, a research practicum on pervasive computing. He and Brian Cornell are testaments to the spirit of the department.

Despite the fact that you haven’t met any other CS majors at Northwestern, there’s actually quite a few of us. We’re always looking for ways to expand the undergraduate culture in the department, and the entire faculty is willing and able to work with you.
