<p>Absolutely do not listen to any of the above posters. I am a 3rd year at UChicago and although I am an econ major, I know at least 15 people majoring in CS and I have heard 0 of them complain about it. In fact, everyone I know who is majoring in it says the professors are amazing and that they love it. I have heard amazing things about Adam Shaw and Babai specifically. </p>
<p>There is no question that you will learn a ton as a CS major and that you will be extremely marketable to firms with a CS major from UChicago. The people I know majoring in it have gotten jobs at google, amazon, dropbox, etc. All of those take UChicago CS majors. </p>
<p>Keep in mind, however, that the classes are very theoretical even in the CS department from what I’ve heard. You will learn weird instructional languages like Scheme in the 150s which will help you to get a great understanding of programming in the future. </p>
<p>Do not consider stupid metrics like Uchicago’s ranking in CS at the graduate level, talk to an actual CS major at the school!</p>
