Amazing school, very well organized. Lots of resources, awesome campus : beautiful, peaceful. I feel honored to be an Alum from here. I felt my education from here was very valuable. Really loved the labs, classes can be a bit large. One downfall can be when the larger classes split into smaller groups throughout the week and a Graduate student teacher is in charge ( sometimes they aren't super helpful, sometimes they're- but you could run into this at any school). The library is huge- six floors-higher up you go - the quieter it is. Private study rooms for rent with key cards at front desk. Really lovely!
I am a OSU online computer science student. This postbacc program is a great way for those with non-CS backgrounds to break into tech. The professors are easily accessible on Piazza and via email as are the TAs. The cost of the degree is just under $30k, and most of it can be paid for with student loans. The program can be completed in 1-2 years depending on your work schedule. The intro classes are taught in Python which is a great beginner language. Because this program is online, you can complete it from anywhere. All you need is a laptop and a whiteboard. Highly recommend!
