pursuing university degree
Definitely need much more context about what country you're in and all that. These degrees sound very local to your specific university so I think it's better for you to ask around there. In general though, some fields are more hardware related, others more theoretical, others are more about applied business software development and so on and so forth. If you already know what kind of field you want to enter that's great and I hope you find the course you're looking for. But in my experience more often than not, people don't know what field interests them right away, or they switch fields / land in something completely different and still enjoy it. If you don't know exactly what you want, there's no harm in trying something and see how you like it.
I studied to be a generalist programmer, did game development on the side and now do web-based ui for video games. Never thought i'd end up doing web dev but just slipped into it more and more and could somehow even come it with games

Using different resources to style pages #
It's possible to mix libraries but I wouldn't recommend it. This is a constant pain in the application i'm building. We're mixing mui with our own custom code and other ui libraries are mixing in too, which turns into a big mess very quickly. I'd recommend you to stick to one system and keep that consistent. Honestly with modern css it's pretty easy to build your own stuff. The only hard thing about css is naming classes. If you want to use a component library you'll have to add in your own styles at some point anyway. Try to keep that clean and avoid mixing multiple component libraries, that's where it becomes really messy.
In the project i'm working on we use styled components which removes the need for naming classes. You still need to name the components, which are react elements, but they're namespaced to that file unless you export them. I find this works really well to keep your own code nicely distinct from whatever other libraries you're importing

Seeking Guidance: Achieving Desired Border Effect in Design Section
I guess you could overlay two divs with slight margin and a different border radius to compensate for the inset?
