Day in the Life of a Computer Science Student • Queen's University //
Okay... it's actually 3 days in the life of a computer science student but I needed the familiar title haha. I was meant to do a day but then I ended up spending most of it sitting in front of my computer staring at a screen (classic!). That didn't result in enough content so I extended the vlog, hope you understand lol! Let me know if you enjoyed this video and leave any questions or comments down below! Lots of love and thanks for watching. It means a lot. x

Coding is like a language, if one isn't taught it well, then the results (the output; applying what's been taught) will show as such.
100% agree!
Really good to see more women in tech! Whats the hardest thing about computer science.
There's always so much to know!!! You have to constantly be learning the newer technologies to keep up.
Looking for to study there fall 2021 inshallah
ربي ايسهلك امرك
Hey everyone! I just posted a Q&A video about my experience studying computer science at university and talked through some of the questions that were asked here. I linked to it in the description so check it out! 🤓
Omg!!! Queen's university really rocks in machine learning, deep learning and quantum computing. 😀
I feel you on the mental capacity for weekly workouts! Hey as long as you're getting it done!
So true! But ahhh ever since I moved back to Toronto, I've fell out of the habit. Have to get back into it soon! Thanks for watching ❤
I know I am a year late, but the material seemed so similar to our course of Soft Computing lol. The hamming distance, and the Associative Memory nets and everything!
I'm going to be majoring in computer science this Fall and I have just found your channel. Definitely subscribed and am going to be binge-watching all your videos haha
Omg yayyyyy! Thank you so, so much 😍😍😍
Got a girls day vlog in computer science ! ♥️keep uploading!
I will!!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I remember when I was doing CS in College, I remember staring at the screen for hours and going to the CS Lab working on my assignments practically living there lol.
I HATED the CS labs at our school because they were in a really old and uninspiring building so I worked mostly from home but yeah, SO many hours staring at a screen. The process of coding is SUCH an emotional rollercoaster too. Like, when you're low and stuck on a bug for hours, you're REALLY low and you just wanna give up on life but once you figure it out, there is no better feeling in the world. So incredibly rewarding.
Uhreej totally agree than your like seriously I was missing a semicolon lol. Most of the time or you would miss spell a function/class name etc.
Hey! how are the job placements like in computer science at Queen's as compared to waterloo or UOFT and also how was your experience with coop
How did you know that you wanted to do this program? Were there other programs that you might've been interested in? I am too, deciding which program to go into, as I have many interests.
To be completely honest, I feel like people grow so much through their university/college years that it makes it extremely difficult to predict what interests you will still have at the end of those 3 or 4 years.
When I was trying to figure out what field I wanted to go into, I thought about it realistically. In most cases, we get degrees and diplomas to learn and strengthen skills that can help us make a living. Looking at it from that perspective, think about all of the interests that you currently hold and figure out which associated uni/college degrees will be the most useful to you in the future. As in, which program will provide you with the greatest chance at earning an income (whether that is working for someone else, or for yourself) once you graduate?
If you do it this way, even if you are no longer interested in what you studied, at least you won’t feel as stuck. Since you’ll be able to find employment in the chosen field quicker, you will be able to figure out and work towards what you actually want to do, without having to worry about how you’re going to make money.
@@goldenagestreams Thank you so much for the feedback!

Hey can you tell me what is the eligibility criteria for ms in cse there ?
Hi. I want to study CS but I am afraid that it will be too hard. Do you have any tips or how hard it will be
I got offer letter from SFU, Canada in CS, that's why watching a lot of vlogs like this
I'm having second thoughts about doing my bachelors in CS in UK. My family can afford the tution but I want to pay for my own living expenses. Do you think there's enough free time for you to do part time jobs ?
I'm not pretty much good at programming...so can I opt for masters in computer science considering that I will be taught by college?
Hey,
Could you comment on MSc in Business analytics course in QUB..?
At a scale of 1 to 10 , how much math is involved in coputer science???.... And also its easy or not???
Im also studying CS and I would say maybe 7 and its not "hard maths", it's "proof maths", so you need a lot of theoretical understanding of how the maths work and how you can apply it to solve problems.
you're so gorgeous!!!!
Thank you so much!!!!! ❤
hi can a commerce stream student like i passed class 12 with this stream apply for computer science ?
madam can i ask you some doubts abt queens .can i contact you through any manner
Just been browsing youtube for cs. I took the first cs course at uni got a A. Supper nervous if I can do it. But if I do not try I already have failed. Got a A and i get the basic concepts down of if, while, for, classes, object, functions, variables, data types, and arrays. Trying to learn the weed out course data structure. Hopefully in 3-4 years I can get this degree.
If you got an A in the first course, you really have nothing to worry about! Everything else just builds on the topics you already learned and it’s just about practice from there. Wishing you all the best! ❤️
@@goldenagestreams What do you mean builds off of that, cause i got the basics down, of if, if else, else, while, for, classes, object, functions, variables, and data types. And lots of people really struggle with data structure at my uni.
What is the time table of classes ? And is it 5 days a week of classes
Hi! I have a questions, I'm thinking about what to study in college. And CS seems so intimidating... especially being a girl. In your own experience, what does it take to succeed or do well in this major?
Follow your desires!!!! To do well in this major, you have to truly be interested in the subject :) ❤
Hey...... I wanna to know that is computer science technology software testing and programmer analyst easy or not??
Can u plz guide me.
Programming is not easy but it is very rewarding once you solve a problem. Some people might say it is easy, but that is after they have put many hours into learning and practice.
How much money are the people making in the domain of Computer Science after graduating from Queen's university ??? and how difficult is it to be admitted to Queen's university for persuing masters of Computer Science?
were you doing your undergraduate in computer science at the time of the video ? i wanted to ask because I’m thinking of applying to queens university is it a good university for CS ?
Yes I was & yes I really enjoyed Queen's Computer Science. I would recommend it. :)
Can you tell me the about the fees structure of computer science course at queens
Nice video 👍🏼 I start college this fall. I’m taking computer science but would u have any tips ?
Thank you and yes! One of the things that I had most difficulty with when I started my major was learning how to study for my computer science classes. Through high school, I mastered studying for subjects that required memorization (ie. biology, chemistry etc.) and when I started university, I tried to approach my programming classes in the same way. I would pore over the lecture slides and memorize everything on them, but I still wasn’t doing great on the assessments. I realized that it was because I wasn’t practicing enough. Coding is more like math. You can memorize the formulas (and in this case language syntax and algorithms) but unless you try working through problems yourself, you won’t actually know anything. If you prioritize practice, you should do great! :)
Uhreej thank you so much 😊 reading this gave me a good feeling.
@@curry779 Feel free to message me at any point if you have anymore questions! Good luck with college. 💘
thank you mam,,,, i am new subscriber today, hoping for more videos from you
So kind! Thank you! 😊
Can you help me on how to get admission in canadian university?
what type of maths do you incounter in your computer science course?
Linear algebra, discrete math, logic, calculus
How would you rate the course in comparison to other top universities in Canada such as UBC, Waterloo, etc. Also really helpful video thanks!
To be honest, I can't answer that question because I have no experience with the computer science programs at other universities! Sorry!
What subjects do you have ?
I had recently completed my java at university and now I am planning to take Internet Programming. Is this course difficult as compared to java?
I'm not sure what "internet programming" is! Do you mean web development? Web development was easier for me :)
A+
What are the subject of this course? Can you please tell me
What coding program do u use? Did u have any knowledge of coding going into Queens or no? Your vlog really made me want to go to Queens! Coming from a highschool student in grade 12 from toronto
What do you mean by coding program? Like IDE?? And I only had very basic HTML/CSS experience (tbh, virtually none) when I went into the program!
@@goldenagestreams oh ok thank you! Also one last question about the internship program at your school, does the school help you find a company for your internship or no?
Yes, they do!
"the plan for the day is that I'm going to the gym... to do... what people at the gym do"
that part was funny. this video was entertaining. thanks for the quality content.
thank you best friend!!!
Mam i have completed my secondary examination in computer science streem and got 78℅ marks which course will beneficial for me tell me plz 🙏
can you give me your soundcloud playlist cuz i like the music you use
The songs I use in my videos are under the ‘Likes’ section of my soundcloud profile! soundcloud.com/areege-chaudhary
Hi . How was your work placement
I'm considering queens as an option for doing my ms in computer science
1)is it worth it
2) are there any other Universities that i should consider in canada
I only have experience and knowledge about the computer science program at Queen's and it was worth it for me!
Hi, I'll be starting computing in queens this fall. I'm from India and I want to know how was your experience socially as well as academically
Hi! That's a bit of a broad question but I'll try my best at answering... Academically, it was pretty good. You get what you put in. If you put in the work, you should get good grades, no problem. Some courses are definitely more difficult than others but they're not impossible. One thing that you should remember is to not base your self-worth on high marks. If you get a low mark at some point, don't worry about it because everyone does. From my experience, we're lucky in this field because unless you're going on to do a post graduate degree, marks don't matter all that much as long as you pass. When hiring, most companies care wayyyy more about personal projects and whether you know your stuff than they do about the numbers on your transcript. Some companies don't even ask to see your grades when hiring.
Socially, it took me a couple of months to find a good group of friends because being a brown person, I was a minority (most people at Queen's are white). And it's not because people were racist and didn't want to be friends with me... It was because I just didn't relate and connect with a lot of the people that I met (since we grew up so differently, in different cultures). That being said, if you're open minded, you'll find your people. Are you planning on living in residence?
@@goldenagestreams Yes I will be living in residence. I also want to ask about the quip program as compared to co-op in others. How does it compare and are you able to get into Google, Facebook etc.
Nice. As long as you're living in residence, you shouldn't find it difficult to find friends. It was a bit more difficult for me because I lived off-campus during my first year. As for QUIP, I talked about it in my recent Computer Science Q&A video (at timestamp 13:49). I think that getting into facebook, google, etc. is all about how much effort you put in personally. Although I don't know of anyone that did their QUIP internship at a big company, I'm sure its a possibility. Most of the Queen's students I know who have worked at those types of companies did so after graduation.
What are scholarships for Indians in Queen?
would you have time to hangout with friends and relax a few days a week in this program?
Yes!
Where have you done yours BSC in CS
University...?
Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
I’m a junior in high school that is 16, I’m trying to learn to python and wanna major in either computer science or engineering I’m not sure which one yet. Can you give any tips on what to do?
As an engineer you will likely have less time to do personal projects since you will have more classes. Learning how to code is all about practice, so having time to do your own projects is nice. Whether you decide on computer science or computer engineering, try to take as many assignment-based courses as possible. A computer science degree is usually cheaper than an engineering degree as well, so if money is an issue, that is something to consider. Lastly, some safety critical fields of work require a computer engineer to 'sign off' on a piece of software for which they are responsible for any potential failures (e.g. flight control systems for airplanes). This can mean they may have a higher pay in these specific roles, but also take on higher responsibility and risk. Most applications of computer science are not safety critical, so this is generally a non-issue.
^ That covers it pretty well! The only thing that I can think of adding is that a computer engineering degree provides you with more information and experience dealing with hardware whereas in computer science, you’re pretty much strictly focusing on software.

Thank you guys :)
Do you regret going to Queens for CS？ How has the job prospects bern？
Hi!!! I don’t regret it at all! I looooved my experience at Queen’s!!! 🤍
I can’t answer your question about job prospects because I didn’t go down the computer science job route, myself. 🫶🏽
what kind of laptop are you using for cs? thanks
MacBook Pro
do you learn c# as a computer science? in university?
I personally didn’t learn C# but I had one course that taught me the basics of C.
@@goldenagestreams what programming languages do they teach you?
Fuzzy D Pozzy I learned Python, Java, C, Haskell, Prolog, HTML/CSS, PHP, and JavaScript through my courses at university. It doesn’t matter though, once you learn one, it isn’t too difficult to teach yourself another.
@@goldenagestreams i see , thank you very much.
Hey there, did you do any CO-OP at queens and if so how would you rate it. Thanks
Queen's does something called the Queen's University Internship Program which is currently optional for computer science students. They offer an eight or twelve month internship and your experience will depend on where you are placed. As of the time I spent at Queen's, the internship counts as a replacement for the degree's final project. I have heard of people getting internships at IBM, Microsoft, etc. but it depends on your abilities.
Hi! So yeah, the 'co-op' type program at Queen's is known as QUIP. People usually do the QUIP internship after second year but I decided not to do it. If I did it, I'd be out of school for 8-12 months and then have to go back for another year, making the program take me 5 years instead of 4.
@@goldenagestreams Do you think it will affect you when you're looking for work?
@@primumdiscenti Not if you have other projects to show your prospective employer. The final project that is mandatory if you don't do an internship will look pretty good on your resume if you do a good job.
You are in uk
Is it difficult being a female in computer science?
I didn't find it difficult when I was at uni. People in my course were quite supportive, and I was never made to feel less competent because I was a woman. However, now that I am experiencing working in the 'industry', men definitely assume that you know less than other men on the team do. They don't say it directly, but you can tell by their body language and tone. It can get discouraging sometimes but with time, you can prove people wrong with the quality of your work. And that feeling is VERY rewarding. :)
I heard that Queen’s is a whit dominant school is that true? Not trying to be racist, I just heard a lot people saying this about Queen’s and was wondering if there are any other cultures in the community? Thank you!!
Honestly yeah, the majority of the students at Queen’s are white. For me, that was never really an issue as I’ve grown up having friends of all types of cultures and races but it may make some people feel isolated. It can be difficult to find a group of friends if you don’t feel like you can relate to most of the people around you. However, if you’re open minded, put yourself out there, and give it enough time, you are guaranteed to find a group of people that you connect with.
hey im a comp science major in africa and lifestyle and routines are definitely different . Courses are very similar though
Interesting! How do you like the program?
@@goldenagestreams math, programming i love that! digital and analogue electronics not so much
I have taken cs in year 11 at school
Did you like it? 😊
@@goldenagestreams yeah kinda but we start coding next week!
Is it easy or hard to study computer science in Queen's university?
its challenging and fun (Computer Science student) best course
Depends on how much time you’re willing to put into it! It can be very difficult if you don’t find any enjoyment in it
What will be the total estimate of doing masters in CS at queen's?
Blue Diamond do you mean cost?
@@goldenagestreams yes, please explain me briefly
Great vlog!, I'm going into my 3rd year(spec.. in SODE) this fall at Queen's
Thank you!! How do you like the program?
@@goldenagestreams it's pretty good soo far, going to reduce the no of courses I take in the next two terms so hope it's not as stressful as 2nd year
Ryan NayR omg second year was definitely the hardest. You will be shocked at how easy third year is compared to second year - mostly because the courses transition from mostly technical to conceptual so they’re easier to learn. It becomes more about theory and optimization in third and fourth year.
@@goldenagestreams that's good to hear and a relief, I barely did any extra curricular activities other than taking part in Orientation week as a tech last year.
i literally did ZERO extra curriculars and survived so dw about it. i hate how much pressure there is to participate in extra curriculars...
Did you have any experience with programming before you started your CS major?
No, I didn’t. I only had a little experience with simple HTML and CSS in high school. The first time I actually learned basic programming concepts was in the first year of my major.
Oh girl!😞😩 it is so difficult when you are alone a girl in boys, huh . I'm pissed
Hello
hows job opp at queens for cs?
Job opportunities for cs grads are ABUNDANT.
Is there coop? And what companies can you work with?
@@ExpiredPears Queen's has a program similar to co-op called QUIP. careers.queensu.ca/students/services-students/employment-programs/queens-undergraduate-internship-program-quip I didn't participate in QUIP so I don't know what kind of companies post listings for it.
I’m average in maths will I be able to make in CSE 😢😢 ( some times all go above my head 🤣 ) please help !!
Same is my situation in Pakistan... Weak in Mathematics but I'm interested to learn Machine Learning, & AI. 😢🤣
Just put the time in, practice and you can learn anything! Don't limit yourself with your belief that you can't do it. You definitely CAN do it, it may just take you longer than it takes someone else. Best of luck!!!
Without ilets we can come in canda
Accent🔥💯
:)
So this is not called Engineering in Canada right? I suppose it's kniwn as Bachelor of Science in CS that you're doing
Bachelor of Science: Computing
Canadian universities also offer Computer Engineering
yes, you are right :)
How hard is this degree
Depends on how much work you want to put into it! If you work hard, then the degree shouldn't be so challenging.
are yo
do people actually do not go to class in upper years in CS?
From my perspective, unless the class is super difficult and you need all the exposure you can get OR attendance is mandatory, people don’t really go (at least not regularly). The numbers start out strong at the beginning of the semester then dwindle down to almost nothing by the end.
@@goldenagestreams Why don't they go lol?
@@itech40 in my perspective at my school a lot of the program and class is self taught we really only attend class to practice what we have learned, so if you are a good self learner you can just skip lecture
Did you ever experience discrimination at Queen’s?
Never! Nobody ever made me feel like the ‘other’ because of my skin colour! Although that’s just my experience. 💕
cool shit
thanks :)
what is the first salary of an engineer of computer science
Depends heavily on where you work and how skilled you are 50k-100k.
