Hi UCSDCompEng,

My daughter has been accepted into CS for the fall. We are trying to make a decision before May 1st.


What do employers look for for internships? A certain GPA? Experience? Something else?
At what point can student with no prior CS experience start looking for interships? 2nd year summer? Earlier?
We heard about not being able to register for classes wanted/needed. Is this true? How big is the average class size?
On weekends what do STEM students (who live on campus) do usually? We live in OC but most likely she will not be coming home every weekend.


Thanks!
