Beginning College :o

Good luck in College! Some of the most important advice I can give beyond work ethic is to simply talk to your professors. Minus the large lecture halls, professors will often put in more work as you do. Talk with them about what is troubling you and how you can get ahead, what extra resources you can use. It can often make the difference, especially if something personal comes up and you're on friendly terms.

Northeastern nice! I have to start my college search this year but I luckily have some experience from going on college visits with my sister when she graduated. You seem to have everything planned out, that's pretty impressive.

I personally am thinking of majoring comp sci and minoring in business or vice versa. Any suggestions on some programs in this area of field for my next summer (tristate/Northeast)?

Good luck and have fun! Don't get wasted at those parties bruh

(has internet in school like everywhere you jealous stuke and it's pretty fast too)

zilby you are not the only one who is expending his friends I have found several too.

VVGL VVGF VER but dont get cocky. If u feel u need more time, just take it. Also, dont forget tô Send me a copy of your first game :3

I mean, there's internet in the dorms and such so I'll be able to play, I just don't know if I'll have time until late september.

Does your college has a Internet cafe? If so we should have a game. My classes go from 10:00 am to 12:15 pm central time, and luckily for me Joliet Junior College has a Internet cafe.

Good luck with your studies :)

@Devampi, I'm really going to try and focus on expanding my friend group and getting to know people, so unless I find a group of people that like smite, it's unlikely I'm going to spend much, if any time playing it.

@Sub, it's Northeastern University in Boston. I'm majoring in computer science (which I actually have a fair amount of experience with since my high school gave me three years of classes in it and because I completed an introduction level college course at Carnegie Mellon over the summer last year, so I'm relatively positive I'm going to stick with this major ^^).

Currently I have a focus on Game design and development, as I've always had an interest in the creation of video games and have programmed some basic ones myself in python, java, etc. (And before you even go into it, I know that the gaming industry often terribly mistreats its employees and I have done research into the industry itself; it's got problems).

My main draw to Northeastern was that it has a great co-op program that allows you to spend semester working at a company from the college's network of partnerships, or any other company that will agree to host a co-op. Unlike an internship, you're actually there for long enough to get really involved in serious work rather than just being left with busywork and gain some real life experience, as well as building a resume for once you come out in the job market. On top of that, they have a practically non-existent core curriculum meaning I'm able to take two CS courses and a game design course my first semester, with my other two courses being a CS related math course and a required psychology course. This combined with the culture, gorgeous campus and great location was why I chose it over some more highly rated schools I got into like University of Michigan and RPI.

Its mascot is also a Husky which is awesome :3

If you don't mind me asking, what do you want to do when you graduate?

well zilby if collage is a bit compareble here you can find some time the first weeks (as here we start repeating some stuff to get everyone on the same lvl)

Also good luck to you I hope you don't have a hard goal (I need to get at least 51 out of the 60 study points to dodge negative advice or getting kicked from the study)
