Patterns tell us what is happening. Student accounts explain why.

Distinctive themes

No distinctive review themes have cleared the evidence threshold yet.

Representative perspectives

The actual courses offered don't teach you much for the industry. You must learn on your own, do projects, and utitlize resources outside of the school to do well in your career.

Careers & next steps

ACM at CSUF is not bad but would say other communities at higher prestige schools would be better in terms of motivation

Support & community

Not recommended especially with not much companies coming to career fairs for software engineering

Amazing major and people, but campus is commuter heavy so you would expect a lot of people you meet to not get along well with each other.
