Study Abroad For Computer Science Majors?

Posted by timothy on from the meet-interesting-people-but-don't-kill-them dept.

sbilstein writes "I'm currently a sophomore studying computer science with a penchant for international travel. While I do realize that the internet precludes the need for us geeks to travel farther than our desks, I'd still like to take a few courses taught in English or Spanish (the two languages I'm fluent in) somewhere outside of the country. The trouble is I can't go to just any school, because like any other engineering degree, I have to take technical courses every semester. So I need a school with a something at least similar to a computer science program in the states. Has anybody here from the US studied abroad while doing computer science? Was it worthwhile? Or anyone from outside the United States recommend a university program?"

    Yes, I was there. (no, not there, but over there!)

    Linus and RMS got into a fight, and RMS pulled out his katana....*shudder* ...and well, now Linus is sleeping with the penguins.

    RMS was last seen rounding up the HURD to assault Antarctica to exterminate those pesky, compromising, commie penguins.

    Wait! What?!?
    Wow, those are some good med's the doctor gave me, nevermind!
