I’m looking to pursue a major in computer science while also staying involved in music during college- I’ll probably do a music minor. I’ve had a lesson with the flute prof at Lawrence and their music program seems perfect, but I don’t know what their cs program is like. On the other hand, I know Madison has a good comp sci program but I don’t know how accessible the music program is to non majors. Can anyone give any info about the quality of music at Madison or CS at Lawrence?
Also, from what I’ve read and seen on campus visits, it seems like although Madison has a highly ranked CD program, it’s hard to get classes and the sizes are huge, while obviously at Lawrence the class sizes are small. How important is getting individual attention compared to the ranking of the program?
