What kind of classes would you guys recommend that is computer related for college classes? The only thing I am really good at and interested in is computers, so I figure that would be a good place to start. Thats not the only thing I want to go to college for mind you, I'm very much considering studying religion and maybe even psychology. So I know what I am interested in, but I'm not sure what I'm interested in as far as computers go... what could I benefit the most from? Whats the most rewarding class I could take? I was thinking something like programming... but I don't know. I don't know anything about what college's offer for computer related classes. lol God I wish there was a modding class... ;)

Congratulations Snowfire!
As you embark on the first step of your higher education my recommendation is take a wide assortment of intro courses. Infact, I would not recommend taking courses that you intend to focus on right away, maybe some very basic comp courses but I'd save it for later. Just have fun and take in as much culture as you can. I spent a looong time in college, loved every bit of it.

if your college offers a programming I would take that. I have to learn C+ for m engineering degree, and its a pretty common language, very multifunctional

If you're more interested in software development, i'd recommend a course in Java. It's becoming the star of the software development world. C++ is overrated.

Just be thankful you never had to implement a linked list. ;)

Or worse...the dreaded binary search tree. :eek:
