Hello im an upcoming college student to take computer science.
I would just like to ask for advice for me. Any advice would do!

Thank you!

I wish I could provide sound advice, however I dropped out of school quite early.

One thing I'd like to ask In terms of computer science, does It actually provide you with opportunities to work In the capacity you're Interested In?

I would actually say yes I think after getting a degree in computer science it would give me opportunities to work in the capacity i am interested as one of my distant cousin also graduated this course and actually is living good.

That's excellent to read.

In terms of what your degree offers against your choice of career, you've made the right decision by opting for computer science. Now It's up to you to make sure It heads In the right direction, by studying hard and reap the rewards later.

Keep in mind that studying hard means having a study regimen; the transition to college can be difficult because the strict schedule of HS gets stripped away, and it's easy to piss time away. Make sure you block out certain parts of the day for studying. You'll be alright!

Apply for one that has a high after-hire rate, programs like that usually have something set up with companies to funnel students directly to them. My program includes 8 months of paid work experience as part of it's 4 year degree, and because of that it has a ridiculously high hire after graduation rate.

"computer science" is also kinda vague. Do you know exactly what you'd like to do? It's fine if you dont, you'll have lots of opportunities to decide where you want to point your education. I'm on my 3rd year, I start my WE in a few months and so far ive focused mainly on networking. I have other classmates who've chosen to go into various pother options. Not sure exactly if the degree youre thinking about is exactly like mine. There's always more options after school to further education.

I also second what ogxajxxs above me said. I wasn't very studious in HS so it was a bit of a shock to go from that to uni. I was only part-time my first semester so I could get used to it.

You'll wanna buy food at campus but it's cheaper to bring your own lunch.

Don't get up to anything naughty on the school internet without a VPN (duh) Ive seen a few students in my program caught for doing things they wernt supposed to.

Join some clubs and shit, btw. I loved clubs pre-covid. Join something like toast-masters or improv to improve your public speaking and it'll help you one you enter the workforce. And network! schools usually have plenty of networking opportunities, especially for tech students. Dress well and be prepared to shake lots of hands. You should attend lots of seminars on new technology if they have them, too. And hackathons. most schools have hackathons.

I'm sure I could say much more. Feel free to ask for clarification or any questions you can think, and have fun! I love school right now and I hope you will aswell.

Thank you for all the advices given to me .
Yes, I wanna focus on android and iOS development and right now I'm kind of interested about data science and artificial intelligence. I have read articles that says artificial intelligence would go boom later in 2020 so I want to study about it too as I think it would open a lot of opportunities to me in the future. Thank you for the advices I think I would enjoy school once Covid is over. I would join a lot of clubs I haven't joined any clubs during my high school days so I will give it a try

Setup a github or some sort of repository and upload the work you do, it'll be a good thing to show what you can do later when applying for a job.

Motivation and consistency is the key of everything.
Make an acceptable study-plan for each exam and stick to it, no matter what.
