Why I Love Computer Science: I initially decided to major in computer science because I enjoyed math and liked problem solving, but I didn’t really understand what it was all about until I got to NC State and participated in some of our various computer science communities. I learned about all the different applications of computer science, from developing video games and apps, to its helpful applications in AI and cybersecurity, and I realized how limitless computer science truly is. This field is growing fast, and I’m so excited to be a part of it!
