I shall ask my son about the computer science program. I believe he has a few fraternity brothers majoring in that area.

As for weed out classes, UAH has its share, and truthfully, some students really do not belong in their prospective majors. My son knows some students who come in as STEM majors, but they do not last long, because the academics are challenging. He had a physics class as a freshman where the professor told them that nearly one half of the students would drop out before the midterm. The material was difficult, especially if you had not had any physics or calculus. My son had, and he had no trouble with the class.

Have your son attend the fall career fall. It is usually in September. The career center releases a list of companies that will be there recruiting for internships as well as permanent jobs. He will have an opportunity to speak with representatives and maybe land an internship for next summer.

As for getting involved on campus, there is plenty to do for attending sporting events (my son is a huge hockey fan and goes to the games all the time) to club sports to lots of clubs to movie nights. There’s stuff to do in Huntsville. Bridge Street Mall is beautiful. And, if your son has a car, Nashville is about two hours away in one direction and Birmingham is about two hours away in the other.
