^^^^
so many people in my intro to programming course didn't have a single clue about anything in python

p much what everyone else said, they’ll teach you everything you need to know. at my school at least, i am def regretting the degree, because everything im learning in terms of coding i could have taught myself, and all my other classes are just business bullstuff (accounting, management, etc)

are you in computer science?
Drydess:
out of curiosity what makes you want a cs major anyways? unless you've got plans you may want to have a backup plan if that doesn't work out
devildogelite:
If you're going into CS without getting enjoyment out of CS you're going to hate it. A lot of people I went to school with went CS because of the money but quickly realized they hated everything about it.
But as others have said almost all programs make the assumption you're coming in with zero background in CS. Programs also vary a lot by school, at mine the intro course was in java, a single class on assembler, some classes using C++, and one that used C. Most of the broad courses were choose the language that you're comfortable with and works best for what you're doing.
