hi there hello

do you have any advice for someone who's going into computer science with no prior knowledge or experience in the field? i was going to be a biology or chem major but that didn't work out so now i'm in cs. is it necessary to know about coding and have skills already before classes start? and what can i do now?

no pressure to reply. love your blog, have a nice day.

talk to upperclassmen in your program and make friends in your major. depending on your program, classes could be more engineering-heavy or math-heavy (or both). i think it's most important to not get intimidated if you lack experience and stay interested, patient, and willing to learn/ask questions. if you can, look at languages your intro classes are taught in and try learning the syntax. there are a lot of online resources nowadays (videos, tutorials, etc). once you pick up some basic syntax, you can try beginner-friendly practice websites like codingbat or codesignal's arcade section to improve your grasp of a language and try doing some small projects you like as well. best of luck!!
