<p>Hold up, I don’t think I ever explicitly said that there’s a lack of intellectual discussion on campus. I think that there’s a lack of institutionalized offerings (Especially outside of Foote Fellowish things) for such endeavors, but the campus could totally support a serious intellectual club or organization or space. Students will discuss and engage in some of the most riveting matters, but often in private conversation. The problem, I would think, is that there is a lag between the rise in quality of students and rise in quality of extracurricular programs. However, that also means that there is a huge opportunity for incoming and current students to create those spaces and establish future traditions. </p>
<p>And as for your concerns about double majoring between Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, I would think it to be highly disingenuous to say that the University doesn’t promote double majoring. In fact, most of the people I know at this school (which is a fair number) are at least pursuing a major and a minor. Then again, the matter of pre-reqs and APs is important. For your specific program, have you looked at the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering? There is a double major offered between the Bachelor in Science in Computer Engineering (in the engineering school) and Computer Science (in college of arts and science) that only requires a minimum four more classes, as well as a five-year major program if you’re interested. </p>
