Would you pick UCSD or UCLA?

<p>ee_stu: where did you get the Java thing from? here’s a Winter 2006 CS 31 class which is taught in C++</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~shinnerl/cs31/syllabus.html[/url]”>http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~shinnerl/cs31/syllabus.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>from Flopsy: </p>

<p>“I agree with what BenedictChan said – CS 31 is far removed from any equivalent introductory Computer Science courses taught at community colleges for two reasons: the element of competitition from curved grading is gone, and because they are increasingly teaching Java instead of C++, which is the language used in CS 31/32. Taking the course will probably increase your chances of acceptance, but you may have to retake CS 31 anyways if your course teaches Java.”</p>

<p>Hey, you’re right! I misread the above - Flopsy meant that CCs were using Java. This is good news for me.</p>

<p>yea java sucks</p>

<p>my friend chose SD over LA… he is a bio major, and he thinks that UCSD has a stronger bio department than LA… well, really depend on what you want… he said UCSD is kinda boring … he got bored all the time…</p>

<p>yea bio is supposed to be stronger at UCSD…but I keep hearing the word “boring” associated with UCSD over and over again…I guess it’s not a stereotype…one thing is guaranteed though…CHICKS ARE HOTTER AT UCLA!!!</p>

<p>I think bio at UCSD is a no brainer. There are lots of job prospects in the San Diego’s bio industry.</p>

<p>Hey Citan, that course syllabus looks quite reassuring. 25% gets A’s and 35% gets B’s…If only all courses will be structured like that.</p>

47

<p>well we will be taking CS 32…which should be considerably harder since it’s mostly data structures…I guess I need to brush up on C++ this summer…</p>
