<p>What is the difference between doing a computer science major from a LAC like Amherst and doing a computer science major from a university like UIUC, Purdue, GTech, etc.?</p>
<p>You’ll probably have a lot more classes available at the bigger universities than the LAC.</p>
<p>Go to the LAC if you want to double major like comp and math or comp and english or comp and anything! Also, going to the LAC will help you go to kickass grad school. LACs generally have much better track records in getting students into top masters and PhD programs in any field.</p>
<p>However, if you feel that getting a bachelors degree is enough for you and you’re not interested in actively pursuing another field of academic interest, then its the bigger university.</p>
<p>You’ll basically have more time to smoke weed at a LAC than a big university :D</p>
<p>I hope you understand :P</p>
<p>smit: u got it a little bit mixed up. At an LAC u’ll have more weed not more time to smoke weed that at a big university :D</p>
<p>Haha… :D</p>
