I really want to do this at some point, but I'm still in college, and the schedule never lines up with when school starts and ends. Have any college students attended hacker school/what do you guys think about college students attending? (I'm a Comp Eng major btw).
- nicholasjbs 13y agoCollege students are completely welcome, and we've had a number attend (everyone from first year undergrads to fifth year PhDs). We typically have the most during our summer batch, where it's been ~10% undergrads and ~10% grad students the past couple of summers. We've also had a number of students who have taken a semester long leave from their BS/MS/PhD program. We try to make our summer batch work for students, but with such variation in university schedules, it inevitably conflicts with some schools. I'm sorry to hear yours is one of them :(
- future_grad 13y agoHey, thanks for posting. Same situation as you. Seems like an amazing program and would love to do this at some point as well, but with the alignment of our schedules...do we see this ever happening? What can we/HS do to assist people like us?
- jamesjporter 13y agoHey I'm a bit late on this but I figured I'd chime in. I'm part of the current batch and I left school two weeks early to attend, so its possible even if your schedules don't line up. That said, I was only a part time student last quarter and it was still pretty tough doing HS by day and finishing up my finals by night, but I made it happen, feel free to email me if you want to talk about it (email in profile).
