Never had to study.

I'm a computer science major. The math is what kills me though. The amount of calculus CS students have to take is, I think, a bit much. Only first semester calculus is really necessary for the major, I think. The rest just seems like a needless formality. On the plus side, I finished my algorithms final today, so I only have 3 more to go! :)

On the bright side, you're gonna have a kickass job and I'm gonna be unemployed. :)

I think the main thing is that in many schools the CS department is part of the engineering college, so there's a lot of engineering gen eds to take, which includes the several semesters of calc plus physics.

Me, I enjoyed the linera algebra and diff eq, but I couldn't stand MVC. It might have been my bad prof and bad TA, though.

I don't know if it's the same in other states, but in Floridian high schools you take an exam for every class, including P.E. Anyway, I'll have to take 7 exams this year in the last four days of school, sometime late this month.

Don't know about everyone else, but I was talking about graduating from college. We had exams in most every class in high school...
