Don't expect to learn everything during the course (that applies to any degree to be honest), but I see so many young people settling on the knowledge they gain from courses and don't look further. Yeah, classes are great but they are not everything.
- agumonkey 5y agoCare to expand what more you learned after classes ? I recognize schools are incomplete, but I'm curious why.

Uni will also guarantee that you have an overview of many topics. But often those overviews won't be enough when you will start working because the level of knowledge required will be much more deeper (or practical) than what was required in Uni. My recommendation. Analyze the the things you like that are related to CS and find something that intrigues you. Something that you really want to learn about. It could be games, microcontrollers, artificial intelligence, operating systems, mobile apps, websites, ... Pick something and start reading about it, watch explainer videos, try to build one yourself. The more you will learn and play the more you will discover how many other things you have to learn and experiment with as well. Hopefully all of this learning will be easy, because you decided to learn it in first place! This way your knowledge will grow much more than what Uni will give you. Some courses will be easy because you are already ahead. You will be confident when working on group projects or applying for work because you already played with the technology and you are up to date with the latest trends.
