I just transfered from Cincinnati State.Super BrilliantOther
I just transfered from Cincinnati State. I only did this because of the scholarship opportunities. I had a 3.9 at C-State and the only scholarship I recieved was the Pathways Scgolarship. And I had to go in and FIGHT for it. I was not supposed to be charged an application fee becuase of the Pathways deal (i was). Now my online bill for the school shows a NON-RESIDENT surcharge. I have livedin Cincinnati for 7 years now. All of this combined with the rude staff, arrogant teachers who feel the need to treat you as though you are a CHILD, and the lack of help from ANYONE on things such as how to get around campus, activities, where to get a CHEAP computer, ect....I think I am going to transfer to NKU as fast as I can. Unless UC makes up for all of this by the end of this term.

Question
The best part of my UC education wasComputer Science
The best part of my UC education was the co-op program. Getting the real world experience was not only fun and profitable, but was better training than the Computer Science classes. I even postponed my senior year (with the University's agreement) to help my company complete a government contract job.

As a company founder and hiring manager, I look more at what a person has accomplished than what university they attended (or even if they got a degree). Those accomplishments could have been "real" jobs or personal projects they did on the side (e.g., contributing to open source sofware projects, building personal web sites). Some of the best programmers I know majored in Music.

On a personal level, I met great friends at UC and left with my first wife (and we're still married after 18 years).
