From to school to school it could either be in the Engineering college or Science college. Some say it’s a Math.

Is having it in a different college going to affect how you’re going to be taught? I’m going to Cal Poly Pomona and comp sci there is located in the college of science but at Cal State Long Beach it’s in the college of engineering. Does this matter and how?

    I went to a school in Michigan for Comp Sci in college of engineering. The curriculum was in my opinion poorly organized. I had to take a lot of english, physics and math prereqs while taking intro programming classes. With my ADHD, i failed to apply myself to these classes adequately. I ended up programming personal projects when I should have been studying (so glad I’m medicated now). By the time I was taking courses that interested me, my GPA was garbage and I was burnt out.

    From people I know at another Michigan school, which had Comp Sci in college of science, courses were immediately engaging and relevant. This anecdote has a sample size of n=2 so take it with a grain of salt. These may not be related variables at all.
