<p>Just make sure you check out the other posts on here about the undergrad CS dept. at USC. Talk to as many CURRENT students as you possibly can. The undergrad CS dept. is going through a lot of changes (thank goodness!) with the undergrad curriculum getting a complete overhaul. A lot of CS majors switched to other engineering majors this year out of frustration and uncertainty. Check ratemyprofessors before enrolling in a class in CS with a particular prof. I’m sure the dept. will be great in a few years, but you might not have the time to wait and see…</p>
