Does anyone want to swap accommodations with me and move into Lucia Foster Welch? I’m looking to switch to somewhere closer to Highfield campus!

Help with Routine and Hair Type
Hair Type
I’ve attached quite a few photos because I’d really like help in understanding what my hair type is because I’ve been told it’s everything from 3a-4a so please could someone offer some advice or guidance onto what hair type I actually am?
Curl Routine
I currently don't use shampoo or conditioner. In the past, every time I used them, my hair became super puffy, frizzy, and lost all definition, unless I finger-coiled it into tight, thick curls that I really don't like.
Right now, my "routine" is just rinsing with water daily, drying with a microfiber towel, and sleeping on a silk pillowcase. Letting my natural oils build up gives me much better definition, less frizz, and hair that’s way easier to manage.
However, I'm worried about the long-term health of my hair and scalp using just water.
Can somebody help me build a proper, healthy curl routine that won't strip my hair back into a frizzy mess or force me into overly tight coils? Any product or technique recommendations for maintaining natural definition without the puffiness, specifically for my situation and my hair type?
I’ve attached photos of my hair for reference!
Thanks so much!

I’ve added photos of my hair in case that helps with the routine because of hair and curl type perhaps!
Thanks so much!

Can I realistically reach FAANG with a non-CS degree from a decent uni (KCL)?
Hi. I'm soon to be entering university and have the option of either attending a good university for a degree unrelated to computer science (King’s College London - Natural Sciences), or attending a more mediocre university (e.g: Royal Holloway) to study Computer Science (through clearing, or by reapplying next year). I don’t do Further Maths, and I think I only achieved an A in Maths, so I’m not sure what calibre of universities I’d realistically be able to apply to for CS.
Until recently, I wanted to study Medicine, which is what I originally applied for at university (hence my A-Level subjects: Maths, Biology, and Chemistry). However, I’ve recently decided that I want to pursue a career in computer science, specifically in software engineering, with the long-term goal of working at a FAANG company. I’m aware that, if I don’t study CS at university, I’ll need to self-learn much of the university CS content, complete a number of personal projects to demonstrate my programming ability and CS aptitude, and may also need to do a Master’s in Computer Science to improve my chances of reaching this goal.
To sum up my questions:
- Which of these two university options do you think would best maximise my chances of landing a software engineering role, and eventually working at a FAANG company?
- If you do manage to build a career as a software engineer without a CS degree (or with one from a less prestigious university), is it realistically possible to go on to work at top companies? Or will they always tend to auto-reject you, even if you have significant experience at smaller companies? It seems as though they certainly auto-reject many fresh graduates from these backgrounds.
