Which college or university did you attend? What was your experience there?

Some context: I'm a high school junior who's interested in math and computer programming. I'm just starting to look at schools and wanted to get a sense of where HN readers went.

CS, University of Washington in Seattle. I went so long ago that CS at UW was in Arts and Sciences; I believe it's now in the Engineering department. It has some of the same professors as when I went, and I hear it's an excellent department. They certainly have lots of resources today.

My experience, I didn't socialize much, I didn't even attend the ceremony when I graduated. For me it was a trade school, but that's my own experience and purpose. I believe it's an excellent department.

Bachelors degree at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.

Masters (equivalent) and PhD at Cambridge University, UK.
