After reading raclut’s answer, I haven’t heard that many good things about the BIT program, but it seems like it’s true. I haven’t heard any bad things at all either. But from what I’ve gathered from my previous experiences, it seems like a relatively easy major. There isn’t too much work involved, so there are a LOT of people going into this major. If you go into this degree within the next few years, you’ll reap all of the benefits that raclut has said. But if you go any later, it will be harder to get high paying jobs, internships, etc.
I’m going to VT this coming year, and I’m so excited! But after asking a lot of my friends what they’re majoring, a lot of them have said BIT. At this point, majoring in BIT doesn’t seem so special to me, but it doesn’t mean you won’t get far if you have a degree in it.
