Secondly my team 75% is smart girls, I always telling them for me in Science there is no compromise like or dislike. There is advantage and disadvantage then you need to weigh the pros and cons.
I have to disagree with Alan, if you have a software mentor who feels comfortable teaching certain languages you should probably go with those languages. If that mentor feels comfortable learning with the students or learning a new language then that opens up a new possibility.

As for which language is "best"... I can't answer that, I've used all 3 of these languages over the course of my college program. I can safely say that programming is akin to art. You have many different mediums but in the end you still wind up with a beautiful work. Learning a new language is just learning a new medium, they have their quirks and their own rules but the ability to visualize what you want is more important.

TL;DR - Software Engineering != coding.
