<p>Hello,
I am going to TAMU to finish my bachelor of computer engineering after studying 2 years at a community college. I expect the academic life in big university would be much more challenging. I would like to hear some advice from current Aggies students and alumni of to have a good strategy of study in TAMU. Also, would you guys offer me some advice for my major (I’m going to major in computer network), what should we study beyond classes to be well-prepared for the career of a computer engineer? what important knowledge does employers look for? </p>
<p>I transferred from a 4-year public city university into a private engineering school nearly 30 years ago, but the basic challenges should be the same. You face the following:
You have to adjust to big campus. It takes time to confortably navigate the campus and the bureaucracy.
Study groups have already been formed, and everyone else will know more people than yourself.
Other students will have had the “skinny” on the their professors.</p>
<p>These are not overwhelming challenges. It depends on how outgoing you are. My first semester was stressful, but by my second semester, I was pretty comfortable.</p>
