    Would a minor in Finance or Information Systems be useful for Computer Science?

    You don't need a minor to graduate from Computer Science. It's completely optional. Finance and Information Systems are not generally useful for computer scientists, or in the typical career paths taken after graduating from computer science. If you want to take a minor, just pick a subject...

    Media Arts/Computer Science - Do I need a laptop? (Win or Mac?)

    You will definitely be able to get by fine with Windows for Computer Science/Media Arts. Although it's true that since the lab computers run Linux, having a similar setup for your own computer will be slightly more convenient, it's not hard to setup a good configuration on a Windows machine...

You also have to consider other sources of inertia that you'll have when...

    This is terrible advice. While some maths is assumed knowledge for these degrees, most students entering these programs don't have any significant grasp of the important concepts anyway. Jikky, you don't seem like you want to do IT at all. I doubt you have any real experience with programming...

    Minors in B Computer Science

    To enrol into a minor, it's usually just a matter of notifying your program authority that you intend to enrol in a minor. You can do this at any time during your degree. The courses you take as part of your minor come out of what would be your normal elective courses. The concept of doing a...
