#

the academics though are amazing here. They didn't mention shit about that lmao

#

also, pointing out most of the "houses" are identity centers and offices for departments, so they serve some pretty important purposes

#

some of them are also dorms/community housing

#

But to anyone reading this who was accepted - no school is perfect and every school has flaws

#

so take what you will from all of this

Doable if you have credit coming in

#

These courses added on + dental programs on your own

None of these courses cross, so you’ll have to take them along with your CS course load
