“Now Ive searched through the past and seen some threads like this but they were kinda outdated and I wanted some fresh perspectives. …”
u/dosu25: “Depends on how you manage the high work load. I did a fairly poor job managing cs350/341/370 + stat231/econ355 and wish I only took 350/341. I know of a few people that found the workload to be too high and dropped the non 350/341 cs class.”
