College starts tomorrow...

[Vigilante]

And I'm nervous as phuck....:x

 

[StardogChampion]

Technically it's today for me since it's 1:51 in the morning here. Should be fun - "Here's your new timetable, now piss off home."

College....now what is that again compared to UK education places?

 

[Vigilante]

Same thing as a university.... I'm going to the University of Maryland

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Its like the 2nd year of UK college and the rest of university combined. But they have to pay for it i believe.

*points and laughs* i have another week and a day!

Heh. Try this on for size.

I've been homeschooled for the last 11 years of my life. Tuesday was my first day of going to a public education institute for something other than a test.
I'm taking college courses for 2 out of 5 days a week, the other days I have homeschool work.

I was homeschooled for 3 years, 7th, 8th, and 9th grade. Then 10th through now, my senior year, I go to a high school and I'm in a special program. I would NEVER go back to homeschooling, ever. I have made friends in this program that I will keep for life, and none of them are my age, the oldest one is 15, 16 in October and I'll be 18 in January.

And now I am college shopping... let's see my list so far:

1. MIT
2. MIT
3. CalPoly
4. University of Minnesota (hands-down I will be accepted, so this is my last choice... though there is a part of me that'd rather go here than out of state).

Yah, so basically, it's MIT, CalPoly, or my backyard. And my backyard U isn't so bad at all. I'll be able to my Comp Sci Masters and a Business major too at the Carlson School of Management if I wanted to. Of course, MIT is name recognition and a totally unique learning experience... so it's my top choice. As a kid I've always hoped to go to MIT.

This is hard to decide though. All my friends are here, I'd be going to school with 3 of them (all sisters) + my father (MBA). Then perhaps the other 3 will join me in 2 years too... dang... if I go out of state, I'd perhaps get a better education, but at the cost of not hanging out with my best buddies. ARGH.

good luck on getting accepted to and paying for MIT

I've been in college for two weeks now and I'm sorely missing the 16-year drinking age of Switzerland.

My roommate is currently listening to ****ing "Amazing Grace". Shoot me.

Weren't you able to provide criteria for roommates?

 

[StardogChampion]

Meh... I turn up at 9am and I get told by my tutor that we're not supposed to be there until 1:30pm. He said we were sent a letter which is a LIE!!11!11

Ahhhh, 2 more hours to waste before I have to make my way back in again.

This is my 2nd year by the way.

 

[Icarusintel]

There wasn't an option for "doesn't listen to patriotic country music whenever he ****ing can".
