there's lots of variations but it usually just boils down to "blew a dude in the tim horton's restroom"

go try it, see where it gets ya.

I love school, what are you talking about? I just hate waking up early for it, and occasionally the horrid amount of homework.

so judging by your love of school you went to MIT?

Apparently they have a shortage of punctuation marks at Canadian institutions. And there's people who program programmers?

What is MIT? I go to WSU...

Ya I got to SAIT and I love school right now! No idea what you're talking about. Oh BTW, SAIT is in Alberta.

If you didn't like high school it may be because you're doing a bit of everything. University starts to shorten that into one program. So pick the program you like and go with that.

Cheers

thanks mark i'll look into it

I'd have to suggest either Acadia or Dalhousie

or Waterloo for sure.. but you need sickly high marks to get into it, so if you don't have a 4.0 you may want to look into getting it higher before applying.

I hated high school, love College... different perspectives, and a lot of motivators. You do good in high school, doesn't mean you do good in college. Find some motivation, get some inspiration, and take some punctuation classes



Doncha know? There are even vending machines that distribute vending machines! They are very large though.

Yeah, I didn't really like highschool either, but I love university. I go to UW (waterloo), and it seems to be a REALLY good place to learn (especially for Math, CS, or Eng), and the profs I've had were all really good and helpful when you went to see them for help.

That's just my experience here, but if not Waterloo, you might want to look into UofT (toronto). I've heard that it's a pretty good university as well.

Good luck

Before you got into UW did you have any programming experience? If you did, how hard is first year?

Yeah, I had quite a bit of programming experience, but if you're going into CS, the programming experience you have won't help you much in your first term.

In your first term (for CS majors) you'll take something along the lines of:
-MATH 135 (Classical Algebra ... AKA Alots of proofs)
-MATH 137 (Calc 1)
-CS135 (Functional Programming)
-2 Electives

They make you study Scheme in your first term (since apparently its easier for people who don't have any programming experience), but after your first term, you'll have a transition from Scheme to C, then by your second year, your free to program in either Java, C++, C, or Scheme.

But I did find the first year rather hard, especially because Functional Programming was so different compared to what I was used too from C/C++ and VB. Other than that, the CS courses aren't that bad, but you do have to put ALOT of work into them. The same goes for calculus courses especially.

You'll need to work alot, but like I said, I found that the profs were really helpful and flexible if you needed extra help. So, that helps alot
