RE: [PLUG] OT: Colleges


I got a Computer Engineering degree from Penn State (State College, PA). I
loved Penn State. Their engineering school is very good. I learned a lot.
Had LOTS or really smart people in my classes. Discovered Linux there (very
popular amond Computer Engineering students for some reason). The campus is
great. The football games are fun. When I graduated I was happy to get out,
but it wasn't long before I missed it.

I probably wouldn't want to go to a satellite campus though, but that wasn't
really an option when I was there.

I almost went to Drexel. The day I went down to get my dorm-room I realized
that it just didn't feel right. Plus it would have taken  longer and cost
more money.

good luck!

Subject: [PLUG] OT: Colleges

   This is off topic for the list, but I was hoping to get some input.
I'll be finishing community college this semester and am looking for
a good 4 year college to transfer to this fall.  I've done some
investigating on web pages for local schools, but haven't really found
any that really spark my interest.  What I'm really looking for is a
good CS program.  Alot of the schools I've looked at mainly have
programs that are really geared toward computers in business (with the 
obvious business slant) or programs that produce droids.  I want a
program that does more than just teach various languages, I want
something that has more to do with advanced topics and theory not
just practical application (though practical application is needed).

   The school must have a good reputation of producing high quality
graduates as well.  Also, cost is an issue too.  Since I'll be paying
for it myself, I doubt that I could afford schools like UPenn.
