I loved being a computer science major at a school with a great department. But my only regret is that it felt impossible to do a year abroad. So many prereqs built upon each other that being out of the loop for one year would make it really hard to catch up. At the same time, our study abroad programs were very oriented around arts or social sciences. So I could go to the University of Milan or a multi-university program that hopped through Southern Africa. Both of these would've been amazing experiences but probably not great for CS progress.

Oh well, I eventually got to travel to California, which has been beautiful and exotic for this former east-coaster... ;)
