- In my observation, the difficulties of CS courses in UIUC could be reached at least TOP 10 throughout all colleges in the US. These courses are designed to those who are proficient in CS basis. So, be hard-working, be confident!
- The elementary-level CS courses in UIUC are usually difficult and project-based, since they also work on filtering the candidates who can transfer to CS-related majors. Yet, these courses will be much easier in 400-levels. So don't worry about any of your graduation problems - Just roll on.
- Please think about your specific future directions after graduation. Most people like to choose one of the following: becoming a software engineer, finding for a PhD in AI/Algorithms/Discrete Math (aka Theoretical CS)/etc., or doing some Quant Finance if he/she is also strong in math. Please find the relative summer research programs or internships starting from your Freshman year. Once you get a job, you don’t need to worry about money (theoretically)!
