Representative perspectives
I love data science and all its applications, especially in computing or other related fields but the theory behind the heavier statistics concepts can be a little hard to understand.
Enjoyment & fit
It’s pretty cool. Awesome faculty and a great community. A little bit R focused than python but it’s easy to pick up
Support & community
Data science can be a really broad term and extend into a lot of areas of life, theres a place for it if you have some strong domain interest or like working with data.
