Favorite C S experience so far and why: My favorite experience with UTCS has been the community! Sometimes assignments can get hard, and tests prep can be stressful, but walking into the GDC and seeing that everyone is in the exact same situation is so calming. I love all of the incredible, inspired, and motivated CS majors that I have met, and they push me to be the best version of myself. We are all here to succeed and it is so much fun sharing that experience with others.

What advice (if any) would you go back and give yourself coming into UTCS? My best piece of advice would be putting yourself first! Do what is best for your, and do not worry about what anyone else is doing. Take the time you need to adjust to your new surroundings and make friends, and never compare yourself to others.
