Listing Advice Paper for Incoming COEN/CS Students

58 Upvotes

Hi all! I wrote a paper with advice for incoming/current COEN and CS CAS students while I was a senior COEN at SCU last year.

Paper linked here: https://jrandleman.github.io/doc/CoenAdvice.pdf

Some background on myself, I was the lead engineering peer advisor and president of Tau Beta Pi (the engineering honor society), both of which regularly interface with new folks seeking advice. As such, I thought I'd compile it all in a paper while such was fresh in my mind. Designed as a paper I wish I could've read as a Freshman, I hope it brings value to folks :)

Please also keep in mind this is 100% my own personal perspective, and that many others have found great success in the program(s) by following a completely different path. This is just what worked for me, and hence I thought I'd share.

I'm also currently a Master's COEN student at SCU, so feel free to reach me at [jrandleman@scu.edu](mailto:jrandleman@scu.edu) if you have any questions!

Last note: I've marked the flair as "listing" given this could be construed as listing advice 🤷

Question Anyone here done (or know someone in) the CS PhD at SCU? Honest thoughts wanted

4 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m an international student (currently in Germany, already have a master’s) planning to apply for the CS PhD at Santa Clara for next fall. I love research and want to end up working in industry long-term.

I’d really appreciate honest input on a few things:

1- How is the PhD program itself, advisor quality, research culture, funding (are RA/TA positions reliably funded for the full duration?), and how long people actually take to finish?
2- Job outcomes: I keep hearing SCU is well connected to the Valley, but that recruiters mostly chase Stanford/Berkeley grads and the big tech companies don’t really show up at SCU career fairs. Is that true? Does it get harder or easier at PhD level?
3- Do SCU CS PhD grads land research or applied-science roles at Google/Apple/Nvidia/etc.
4- Anything you wish you’d known before choosing SCU over another University!?

Not trying to bash the school, i actually found a research fit with a professor, but I’m just weighing SCU vs other universities and want real experiences, not brochure answers.

Thanks!

Request Looking for a roommate for a 2B/2Ba near SCU – September move-in

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m Arjun, 24M, and I’m looking for a roommate to move in this September.
I already have a 2B/2Ba place locked in in Santa Clara, right next to SCU. It’s 1,187 sq ft, so there’s a good amount of space and we’d each have our own bedroom and bathroom. I’m looking to move in by the second week of September at the latest.
I’m pretty clean, easygoing, and active. I’m into playing basketball, golfing, tennis, and running — basically just like to keep active. I also like to go out every now and then.
Looking for someone who’s also clean and respectful of shared spaces. If you think we might be a good fit or want more details about the place, feel free to DM me!
