Transferring in for Comp Sci. Looking for general/transfers advice

I don't think you'll have huge projects to work on. That sounds more like a graduate level program. Except for software engineering, people in that course work on a singular project from the beginning to the end, and the difficulty is indirectly proportional to your general knowledge on things like general programming, networking, web programming, etc. at least from what I've experienced.

One pet peeve I have with this school's CS program is that there are so many foreign teachers with super heavy accents or outright broken English. I had a Chinese instructor who was new to the school and he left after just his first semester, everyone I talked to thinks he was fired because of his extremely limited English vocabulary. Seriously, he was actually worse than some of the students here who take an ESL class. It was that bad. There are teachers with accents but you can understand them just fine - I don't have a problem with those.

As for club activities, this is my own personal opinion: the majority of them are not worth it. You won't get anything out of them. Some notable ones that I can think of are the chess club, the environmentalism club, the neuroscience club, the philosophy club, and PRISM which is the gay pride/rights clubs. I checked out the other clubs briefly and the impression I got was not good. Their members seemed like punks who don't care about school and who take club activities as an opportunity to fool around. I wouldn't mingle with those people.

The CS department will have you connected with job opportunities. It's crazy the amount of opportunities you get via email. It almost feels like spam, no joke. So in terms of prospective careers, you've got that covered.
