    Where was that? I found compsci to be an extremely supportive environment where almost everyone was trying to help each other.

        Same here! Most people were very supportive and we commiserated a lot about our majors. And the same was the case for the entire engineering department.

        The only anecdote I know about which is similar to the hyper-competitiveness in the top comment is from a friend who was a CS major in a different university but with a heavy entrepreneurship/business slant.
