Got into Brindle CS but worried about class access — can you actually get into the courses you need?
Excited about the offer but I keep seeing comments that intro classes are impossible to register for and you get pushed back a semester. Current students — is that real, or just a few bad experiences?

Great thing to ask about. We added seven CS faculty since 2023 and now guarantee priority registration in intro and gateway courses for declared majors, so you're not boxed out as a freshman. Our median time-to-degree in CS is 4.1 years — and you can see placement broken down by major in our latest outcomes report. Happy to put you in touch with our undergrad advising team.

Good EE programs with solid financial aid that aren't impossible to get into?
I'm a senior and don't need a top-10 name — just somewhere with real aid and a realistic shot at getting in. Would really appreciate any honest suggestions, thank you!

If you want EE with strong hands-on labs and a real shot at admission, Brindle is worth a look — ABET-accredited, capstone with industry partners starting junior year, and an admit rate in the high 30s so it's not a reach-only. Aid is solid too, but honestly the lab access is what most of our EE students rave about. Glad to get into specifics on concentrations or transfer credit.

How much real research can an undergrad actually do? I keep hearing it's all grad students who get the lab spots at bigger schools.

Great question — this is actually a strength for us. Because we're not competing with a huge PhD population, about 40% of our CS undergrads do faculty-supervised research, many starting sophomore year. We run a paid summer research program and several students co-author papers before they graduate. Happy to share a few recent examples if useful.
