I have to say... the present day experience is not great. I know that CS enrollment is dropping across the board. However I just see a lot less engagement. I made so many friends during my undergraduate degree 10+ years ago, and this program just feels like a ghost town. It's like watching your favorite old video game get turned off or deactivated. I also see teaching assistants blatantly using AI, which kinda erodes the idea of academics in my mind, but maybe that's another story.
Is anyone else experiencing something similar?
