Re: University Reccomendations

Pay attention to the engineering-focused curriculums vs the pure
science-focused curriculums.

There are pros and cons for each approach.

Some schools focus on the the practice of programming, teaching you
data structures, algorithms, etc in a programming language, and some
schools focus on the math and science theory parts of those.
