Hi guys,

I am going to be a senior in high school next year so it is time for me to
start looking at which colleges I would be interested in attending.
Basically I am looking to take up a degree in CS, simple and easy.

One of the factors I'd like to look into in regards to those colleges I apply
at is how do they support Free Software in their CS curriculum. It's fairly
important to me that I am able to develop under a Free operating system in the
CS courses that I choose to take, and am not forced to develop under Windows.

Does anyone have any experince with Free Software universities, or any resources that have information on them?

Ryan

might provide you with some idea about the commitment of rice.edu to -- not only to FLOSS, but also to open standards, non-proprietary file formats, etc., and "open curriculum" type stuff, -- and, that last list item is meant to refer to a situation whereby the learning materials, like the text books (or, e- "substitutes", thereof!) are, like, GPL'd  or GFDL'd, or something like that.

best wishes, wherever you go!
