Course Curriculum
I actually really love our major. Courses are definitely updated and tweaked to include new information and strategies by the professors. Advisors are overworked for our department for sure but they definitely pull through with making the course syllabi relevant to our major. The Dornsife school emails students on different opportunities for industrial exposure such as resume workshops, big tech talks, etc.
Fees
The tuition fee is $69,000/year but around $95,200/year total (this includes housing, meal plan, etc)

- To be honest as I have mentioned the overall experience is something which makes things great. Good faculties with great ratio where students can have one on one interactions with students, taking courses from other school allows to understand more about different schools, their teaching styles. null
Dislikes:
- Fees could be a bit on a lower side, the amount of credits which I take from the other schools are restricted like for ex. I need to take 16 units from Viterbi then I can take rest of them from other. null
