What were all of your guys reactions to getting accepted to the college/or not getting in? I know when I got accepted to Washington State University, I was like a little kid on xmas.

College is for losers

$1500 entrance scholarship to University of Calgary.



I did a happy dance.

I wasn't too excited, I ended up going to live on campus but hated it, so now I'm living at home and commuting.

Well it was like a dream for me cause I have always wanted to go to WSU, its gonna be the mad note....

I was bummed and college sucks.

Why were you bummed?

I did not want to go to my college.

I've been in college for almost 2 years and I agree with Axel.

I should have just joined the military.

people in military get shot

Every person I have ever talked to said college was some of the best years, why were your guys so bad?

I was a little plaintive about getting accepted to college but once I got there, I was excited because I was going to get to do all new things and have a chance to meet new people from different backgrounds. The moving away from home was a bittersweet bonus because I never lived by myself and because I was moving away from my son. But I had fun and can't wait to go back. I took a semester off to be with my son.

For me its the excitement of new things, leaving homes gonna be tough, I am looking forward to it but non the less its gonna be hard.

WSU FTW

it'll be worth it. trust me. you'll have fun. just don't get distracted from th work.

TRH do u go to WAZZU?

I only applied to one school, so I didn't really react when I got accepted.

But now that I here, I love every minute of it. It's ****in' sweet.

D and Axel are mooks.

1 for 1? go you.

I agree. Although, having said that I haven't even started yet but I'm sure it can't be too thrilling. Especially since it's an Australian university and not an American one.

college is for losers? sure, why not.

I really don't see how college can't be fun. Do you guys not get into sports, clubs, parties or any other form of social activity, if you don't then I could see not liking it.

collage was fu at LSU

I think money really should be a much smaller role than it is. Student loans suck, but I think furthering your education and the experience will make it worth while,

Not necessarily for losers.. but College is only good for credentials. You can, for example, major in A+ Computer repair for four years and still be a complete retard.

Intelligence isn't needed to get into, and complete, College.

I am still in High School and my opinion is unsupported and biased.

Obviously there are plenty of idiots who end up going to university, I know a few of them. But the fact of the matter is you're more likely to get a high paying job if you have a degree, even if you were a complete idiot and got like lower second class honours, or something.

Also, there are many industries where it's extremely hard to get work within them without a degree, I know it is for the industry I want to work in.

Theres always trade schools.

Student loans can help cover a lot, or you could get scholarships or heaven forbid a job.

I don't know why you think I'm complaining about this, I don't really mind that much. My parents will be paying half the cost and the other half will be funded by my student loan, I'll probably get a job in the second year. Usually there's help given to students studying in London, but my household income is too much to warrant it.

That's why I said College is only good for credentials. So you can flash that masters and people will actually think what you're saying means something.

Again, I'm not saying that peole who go to College are wasting there time or whatever.. but I just don't like how snobbish (This isn't aimed at anyone here.) some people are, just because they graduated from College. Doesn't mean you're smarter then everyone else.

Yeah, if you want to be a plumber, or an engineer etc. That's a good idea. Though if you want to be a lawyer, or a journalist etc. you're probably better going to an academically oriented university.

Your friends may not be the brightest, but there smart enough to know that by getting a college degree its gonna help them down the road. I'd say there pretty smart, anyone who doesn't get a degree is the real idiot. It's not like somebody who gets D's and C's is gonna go to college they need to have decent grades and a well rounded student.

I wouldn't say its just for credentials, its not like college is a walk in the park theres plenty of work. Like for me I want to be a broadcaster so my degree will be legit, but yes it can be credentials, but not JUST credentials.

There are plenty of universities that accept people with D's and C's. Speaking of smart, you should probably brush up on your grammar before you go to university.

But event if people have As and Bs dose not mean they can go to college if they do not have $ or our in a bad situation

I don't know of any school that accepts those grades. Maybe in Europe, but not here.(except community college).

If it wasn't 12:30 I might start caring about my grammar, but thanks for the heads up.

Once again there are programs that are designed just for helping kids get into college who don't have the money. Financial aid, scholarships and Student loans are all good too.

Well, here we don't have to stay in secondary school until we're 18, we can leave at 16. We also do qualifications called A levels before going to university, with D's and C's in them you can get into some universities.

The process here is entirely different and also achieves more success.

America's school system is really fecked up.

but some people are not helped because loans dont help them because they dont have enough money like my mom she was able to go to college but then her dad got sick so she helped him live
