I regret choosing UW over CMU
When I was in high school I had the option between CMU or my state school (University of Washington).
In every single CS class there's 100-150+ students and like 1 professor
Even though I love the people here 90% of the people at UW CS are from WA and like 70% are from bellevue/redmond some Seattle suburb so I wish there were more diversity of admitted students
I always really enjoyed humanities courses but there's 0 rigor in UW's humanities courses
And while my state school is pretty good for FAANG recruiting there isn't as much of a quant trading/quant research culture compared to CMU so I don't think I'll find much resources/guidance for that
Anyway that's my rant
