| Will I have trouble making friends if I'm not into gaming? Posted: 30 Oct 2018 02:15 PM PDT I'm planning to begin my CS studies next year and right now my biggest anxiety is that I'll have trouble fitting in. I'm not allergic to gaming but its just not a part of my life anymore, I used to play WoW and a bunch of other stuff but quit gaming 4 years ago simply out of boredom and haven't gotten back (despite actually trying a few times). I'm also not really into other stereotypical "nerdy" media like fantasy or comics or anime or what have you. Will I have a hard time making friends and bonding with fellow CS students without these shared interests? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 30 Oct 2018 06:21 AM PDT I would like to join a high level CS university, but I would like to assure that I will be good enough for it. I'm specifically referring to University of Edinburgh, but really it's the same for all the universities of that level. I've been studying CS for almost 4 years now, focusing mainly on algorithms. In order to understand my knowledge level better, I know stuff like: Dijkstra, segment tree, Fenwick tree, disjoint sets, minimum spanning tree, Tarjan, some basic geometry, greedy, dynamic programming (obviously far from mastering it), dp on exponential states to name a few. I've qualified for the national olympiad in informatics for a couple of times in my country (Romania) and attended an international contest (ACSL). I am familiar with C++ and its STL, and I know the basics of oop. Still, I am yet to develop any piece of software or to work too much in any other language. I've only focused on algorithmic. I'm also doing pretty good in maths, but nothing high level (the olympiad is too much for me). I am concerned that this lack of experience in other parts of CS would make me struggle really hard, so I would love to hear opinions from you guys. Moreover, I'm a bit curious about how difficult research is and how good one should be too work in this domain. It seems pretty interesting to me (at least for now), and, although extremely difficult, I'd like to know how hard it actually is. [link] [comments]  |
