Favorite C S experience so far and why: My favorite CS experience has been going to Pod. Whether we played Jeopardy, learned about career opportunities, or asked UTCS students and faculty about their experiences, I always had fun. Pod helped me learn a lot about UT and the CS department that I wouldn’t have known otherwise. The best part is, the people I met in Pod are some of my closest friends now and I couldn’t have gotten through the year without them!

What advice (if any) would you go back and give yourself coming into UTCS? Take it one day at a time.

Best place to eat in Austin? Kerbey Lane Cafe
