Comment 4 year colleges let you change your mind (Score 1) 321
Another advantage of a 4 year college is that you can change your major if you decide CS isn't for you. I started college (Harvey Mudd College) thinking I'd get my degree in CS, but within a year I realized that I didn't enjoy CS. I switched to math and now I'm studying biology in grad school. You probably won't know if you like philosophy, or physics, or history if you're never exposed to it.
