Well, I'm "just" a freshman taking 6.001, and I love the course.  I'm
getting more out of it, and learning more about Computer Science and
programming, than I ever thought imaginable.  The textbook is a bit
dense, and the lectures go a little fast (typical for MIT), but
all-in-all, I'm having a great time.
