Coming back for CS: The Postgrad Experience

Want to listen to some talky talk on the postgrad experience in
CS? Rachel and Ivan try to cover these topics in a roundtable
with some students studying CS as their second, or next, degree.


Welcome our features, - Peter, who was in the Construction
Management industry when he started a Bachelor's degree majoring
in Computer Science - Rachel, a pharmacist who decided to start a
Bachelor's degree majoring in Computer Science - Mark, who was
already working as a Mechanical Engineering graduate when he made
the jump into an MIT - Ady, who was doing a PhD in Biology until
she decided to pursue an MIT majoring in Bioinformatics


Where did they come from? Why did they make the jump?? How are
they finding it??? Can they even make friends???? What are they
looking forward to?????
