I am afraid I will get to college and everyone will already know many coding languages

Hi, Belle,

It's great that you're thinking ahead how to get a good start when you get to college. I'll divide my answer to your question in two parts:

"Is it ok to go into my major with no prior experience?"

Yes, it's perfectly fine to start a major in computer science / computer engineering with no prior experience in coding. Having said that... if you have a chance to jump start your learning before you get to college, I'd do that. I wouldn't worry about being behind your fellow classmates, but a bit of hands on experience with programming is going to help you connect the dots faster when you start learning about certain concepts in class. It will also help you relate more easily to those colleagues who, like you said, will already know how to code. Coding can be lots of fun,  and many people (like me) do it as a hobby.

"Should I try to take classes @ community college next summer?"

No, I don't think this would be necessary. Nowadays, you don't need to be in a college environment to learn, especially coding! In your place, I wouldn't wait for next summer either. You could start right now spending some time at codecademy.com (where you can start learning coding in seconds for free), or at another website that offers free training that you can fit on your schedule without the need for a huge investment of time.

Try creating an account with some of those websites offering free training, and find one that fits your learning style (the language you choose to study is not important either -- just pick something to get started). Even if you just allocate half an hour a week to practicing, you'll be grateful that you didn't wait until you're in a more formal education environment to start learning (and hopefully having fun) with coding.

Good luck!
