Study Abroad For Computer Science Majors? 386
sbilstein writes "I'm currently a sophomore studying computer science with a penchant for international travel. While I do realize that the internet precludes the need for us geeks to travel farther than our desks, I'd still like to take a few courses taught in English or Spanish (the two languages I'm fluent in) somewhere outside of the country. The trouble is I can't go to just any school, because like any other engineering degree, I have to take technical courses every semester. So I need a school with a something at least similar to a computer science program in the states. Has anybody here from the US studied abroad while doing computer science? Was it worthwhile? Or anyone from outside the United States recommend a university program?"

Bangalore College offers the(Indian equivalent of a) B.S. or M.S. in computer science. In this rigorous curriculum you will learn how to program with the best industry-standard framework: Java. Our students toil endlessly over such taxing problems as "What do interfaces actually do?" (answer: jack shit).
Our Master of Science candidates must write a stored procedure(Yo dawg, I heard you like to transact while you transact so I put a procedure inside your procedure) for their M.S. degree.
We also offer job placement services - "Jimmy the understandable guy" will put a marble under his tongue and pretend to be you over a telephone interview with any American or European hiring manager looking to save a few bucks of their own...but unlike you, Jimmy the understandable guy actually knows what he's doing!
Apply today, admission slots are limited and VERY competitive!

Odd thing is, we can understand perfectly when you lot use word like pants and vests and pavements wrongly, whereas you lot get hopelessly confused when you hear the slightest pronunciation difference.

Yes, I was there. (no, not there, but over there!)
Linus and RMS got into a fight, and RMS pulled out his katana....*shudder* ...and well, now Linus is sleeping with the penguins.
RMS was last seen rounding up the HURD to assault Antarctica to exterminate those pesky, compromising, commie penguins.
Wait! What?!?
Wow, those are some good med's the doctor gave me, nevermind!

I need proof of this from a reliable source; has Netcraft confirmed it?

So, there, I match your 3 and raise you one (and there's plenty more where these came from).

You'd probably have less chance than studying a broad in the USA. Just find yourself one of the "top 10" party universities, and DON'T TELL THEM YOU'RE A CS STUDENT!!!

I know this was meant to be funny, but most people I know (including myself) had absurdly good luck with non-American women. The rest of the world may claim to hate us, but if that's what it means to hate us, then I don't want to be liked.
