Too bad the public education system is broken all to hell.
Guys...if you're in high school, just power through it. College is much better and more relaxing than the movies make it out to be.
If you want some advice. Go to a community college first.
They are cheaper, offer several classes tge same as a University. And when you transfer with a 2 year degree, the Uni has to accept almost all of your classes you took.
And you get to transfer to a big university as a junior.
Thrre is no shame in staying home for a few years and saving money.

Stop making sense. Logic doesn't belong here

This guy knows what he's talking about

Edited by Badird: 10/9/2015 3:26:13 PMThis is wrong. I went straight to a University out of HS and had the best time of my life. Yeah, stay at home and go to community college? GTFO. Id take 4 years of a University and some extra debt over living at home, not chasing girls, hanging out with the same HS friends, and not growing as a person 365 days a year. Experience, my friend. You dont get it in CC.
-
That doesn't work for everyone. And I'm not a fan of your whole "extra debt" philosophy. I'm taking the exact same classes as a normal University would have me take. I'm not chasing girls and I'm not here to be with High School people. Just because a 4 year worked out for you, doesn't mean everyone is ready to move away from home. I have some good friends that went to a 4 year, and are having a blast, but I'm enjoying staying at home and taking my time.
-
PS if you really wanted people to save money, the best advice would be to take all the AP/college classes possible in HS. I tested out of more than a semester of classes because I paid attention and did well in HS. But for real, move away from home and find out who you really are. It sounds scary, but everyone else is in the same situation. And dont attach to HS friends. Most people make better friends in college.
-
I can agree with that...I took a couple AP classes...saving tons of money that way. And yea...same with the friends. I hardly talk to anyone from HS anymore.,
-
And staying home and going to CC doesnt work for everyone either. So its ok for you to tell people what to do, but not me, bc you disagree? Im glad its working for you. Work hard and do well. And get some work experience in college related to your major. THATS sound advice. Selling TV's (thats what I did in college) didnt help get a RL job. Work experience did.
-
I want to go right to University but I'm not sure I'm financially able. I'm not too keen on taking out loans that'll only grow over 4 or so years, and I'm not sure there's a financial aid option that'll really cover all my bases. Imo, my best bet is to work at one of the large franchise stores that are willing to reimburse your university fees if you work for em.
-
I didn't mean to come off hypocritical. I understand my post made it seem that way. And the problem is the fact that people think having a degree guarantees a career. When job experience does. Which is why I like CC, since I can make my own hours and live at home, it's a little easier to find a part timer.
-
Wish I did that. I did four years university, and sometimes I want my money and time back.

How much does it cost because in sweden its free
-
A decent community college will likely only cost between 1000, and 3000 per semester, and it's more common on the low side than the high one. 4 year universities price vary. The more prestigious ones can cost 40k+ a year. (Rice/Yale/Harvard) the three I listed are 3 of the top schools in the entire nation. Incredibly difficult to even get accepted. A more common 4 year university could only run somewhere like 3k-10k per semester.
-
Rice as top three? Really? Top ten for engineering at best
-
It was one of the best, maybe not the top 3, but it's still an incredibly prestigious university. Infact in Texas where I'm from, it's often called "Harvard of the south." Not the best example, but it's close to me, so it popped into my head.
-
Fair enough. I'm actually going into engineering so I'm seriously taking a look at it. Leaning towards GA tech though, and purdue
-
I only know it because I used to see a girl who goes there. It's a beautiful campus. Really really friendly people. Worth a visit, but you do you. They only have a 4% acceptance rate, but if you have a mind for engineering it may be your thang.
-
Will do
-
Going to lsu, 45,000 per yer. Bring on the debt!

Edited by Nightmarity: 10/9/2015 2:29:12 PMIn America it depends on a few factors. High School grades, where you live, how much money your parents make, is the school private or public. Really silly things honestly. But for a Community college, personally, my entire 2+ years was under $3,000, I pay around $500 a semester. Whereas a full Uni averages around $15,000 near where I live...but again, depending on the school and where you live changes the price.
