There are a couple of attractions such as the huge outside mall just a few blocks off of campus. There is also the shopping center called "The Corner" where students love to hang out after class. Sometimes parties and other events take place in that general area.

Computer Engineering one of the hardest engineering major at UVa. The workload, especially in the required computer science classes are ridiculous, and not much help is given. Although some help is given, TA's feel that there is a boundary to how much they can help, and it really isn't much to learn from. The teachers assume that students have had previous computer science experience in high school (I definitely have not though). The teaching style is more like students should learn on their own.

What's It Like?
The program is extremely challenging and competitive. It is also very time consuming not leaving room for much free time at all. However, I feel like I'm used to it, and I pretty much like doing it. It is really stressful, but when I'm away for summer break I miss it a lot. I guess I enjoy being stressed. All nighters galore!!
