Hometown: Austin
Major: Computer Science
Classification: Senior
Why did you choose to come to UT and be part of the College of Natural Sciences?
UT is close to home and when I started I was an electrical engineering major and UT has a very good program for that. Later I switched to computer science, which is also a great program.
What do you think being a computer science major does for you?
The job market for computer science majors is ever expanding. I feel it opens up a lot of opportunities.
What is your favorite class this semester?
I really like my theory and programming practice class. We are doing a lot with encrypting and decrypting.
If you could give a CNS freshman one piece of advice what would it be?
Don’t procrastinate and fall behind. Also, be sure to make friends, something computer science majors are known to not do very well.
