How to Graduate at 19 with a BS in Computer Science

Hey everyone, Yash, writer of the article here! I truly believe in freedom of information and a lot of tips and tricks here were found through needless trial and error. Feel free to ask me any questions about whats up!
laweijfmvo•9mo ago
You covered the How, but Why? The only advantage I can think of is less student debt, which is big (in US), but otherwise Why?
hsala8•9mo ago
All good advice, and I also did this. I was able to go from high school to M.S. in Computer Science in 3.5 years. I did this by starting community college in H.S., maxing out credit hours every semester (after the a certain amount of credit hours it was free at my school; so basically beyond the 5th class was free) and taking summer sessions.

However, as I've been out of school for almost 10 years now and looking back I regret "speed running" through college. I sacrificed my love of learning, being able to learn things deeply, internships, and more importantly making friends and enjoying the college experience.

yash1hi•9mo ago
I appreciate the insight! I hope this isn't something I regret, mainly because the product just came out naturally from my character. I still love learning, and I plan to be a life-long scholar (part of why we are both likely on HN).

Despite the "speed running," I didn't actually give up too much. I managed to be a treasurer/photographer at the school fashion magazine, study abroad, make a huge amount of friends, and even land a really nice internship during my time here. It all was condensed into the 2 years, but I did do it all! I do hope that this becomes a choice that reflects who I am as I grow, rather than a regret later on. Either way, I'm still a teenager, and I'm sure this isn't the worst mistake a teenager can make :)
