Would like to hear parents/students’ experiences with CS major. Unfortunately, lot of bad rep from their high school is preventing my boys to even consider CS major at Merced. Will appreciate some feedback especially post graduation from this program wrt internship/ jobs opportunities. Thanks.
I’m a professor at UC Merced, in social science not CS.
(I originally included a list of links to previous discussions about what our campus is actually like, but it turns out I can’t use them here! We had a few really good threads on the r/ucmerced subreddit last spring, and there were helpful ones on this site the last two springs.)
If you can get them to at least come to Bobcat Day on April 19, that’ll give them a chance to see the campus and meet faculty and current students in CS.
