Apparently Sam Altman is holding a talk/Q&A there on the 13th. It's an intriguing concept - I'm not aware of any similar programs at other colleges.

And my university (UAlberta) is having trouble with people graduating in CS, because within an hour all of higher level courses were booked so people can't take the courses they need to graduate, some people are forced to take a year off among other things.

I thought in most universities, the higher you are (Senior/junior) you get early/priority registration period, and it makes sense.

I find it strange not to have it.
