Yoo, I'm looking into majoring in comp sci but not all of us are prodigy programmers haha. Does anyone know which colleges offer easier computer science programs, maybe with more hands-on teaching or something?
You might want to consider exploring smaller universities or liberal arts colleges that have smaller class sizes, as they often have more engaging and interactive learning environments.
Schools like Skidmore College in New York, Goucher College in Maryland, or Hobart and William Smith Colleges, also in New York, might be worth looking into. These schools not only offer computer science programs, but also emphasize a collaborative learning environment.
Do note that "easier" does not mean "less rigorous". Even though some programs might have a more approachable curriculum and a teaching approach that works better for you, the fundamental concepts of Computer Science can be complex and you should be prepared to invest in the time and effort to understand them.
At the end of the day, computer science, like any other discipline, is about problem-solving, logical reasoning, and creativity. It's not about being a prodigy, it's about persevering, being curious and eager to learn. Also, have some confidence in yourself! Often, people underestimate their own abilities. You might surprise yourself with what you're capable of achieving.
Remember to research the curriculum and teaching style, and maybe even reach out to current students or alumni to get a feel for what the program is really like. Remember, the best program for you is the one that fits your learning style and career objectives.
