Clean up the language and and English, re-focus this to be on preparing for an introductory CS course.

| Aug 26, 2014 at 15:40 | comment | added | vzn | maybe its worth looking at why students "drop out". some switch to other majors after finding CS is not for them after getting more of a direct taste. note that college involves a lot of dropping out and switching majors almost no matter what the major. if you are already programming that may be more preparation than a lot of other students. preparation could involve talking to students/ teachers if possible & looking at textbooks to see if youre really interested in the material & could picture yourself really engaging with it. | |

| Aug 26, 2014 at 6:21 | comment | added | D.W.♦ | Unfortunately it is probably hard for us to give you advice about how to prepare for your university's curriculum, because people here won't be familiar with your university's curriculum. This question would probably be better posed by asking someone at your university. On the other hand, if you wanted to edit your question to ask "how can I prepare for an introductory CS college course?", that might be a better fit for this site. | |
