The student is my son and is from Ohio. OSU has a good overall
position, but the quarter system and the backwardness of the CS (just
my opinion) tends to put me off. The quarter system: why I think is
faulty is that there is not sufficient time given for the fundamentals
to sink in. Not sure if the basic stuff like Advanced Calc, Advanced
Chem can be made to stick around in someone's mind if it is in and out
in 10 Weeks.

I studied under both semester and quarter systems. They each have advantages
and disadvantages. Nothing better than a quarter system for getting through
boring pre-requisites quickly.
All I know about OSU is that it is allegedly the largest school in the
country and that together with the state govt dominates Columbus, which
appears to have a high quality of life. The city is somewhat boring for
younger people, though.
Let him go forth and explore new worlds, if it works for you financially.
Best,
Abe |
