[Discussion] Which college did you attend?

[Legitbeans]

Just graduated from ucla in June.

Nice! Major? I got accepted into UCLA bio major

Its sooo weird cause I am thinking about going to Stanford too XD
​

nice nice. Study hard! What grade are you atm?

Still in High school bruh..

LOL Good luck bruh

Same but I really want to go to unc

not bad, have you considered UMichigan or Duke?

Washington State University. I majored in Accounting and drinking and got a minor in women's studies. I also studied abroad, or two

haha cool cool. Sounds like fun. Where do you work now?

I entered college in the beggining of this year. The process is different from the one americans(I guess you're american, right?) use.

In brazil, the best universities are the public ones. There are some private ones that are very good and sometimes just as good, but usually, that's how it is. Anyway, most of these public universities currently accepted the High School National Exam as the entrance test. Most people in the country take this exam in the last year of high school.

Then, a selection system is opened. In this system, you enter what college you want to try, and what you want so study. Then, those withe the higher grades among those who selected the same manage to enter. If some of them leave the university after entering it, then more vacancies are opened, and the people closest to get in the first list will enter it.

This exam happens every year, in november, and the grade can be used to enter college either in the first semester of the next year, or the second(middle of the next year).

Anyway, I entered one of the best universities of the country, probably top 4. It's called UFMG. I'm studying civil engineering.

And sorry for the long post.

As for your hint: Study a lot, and don't give up.

Wow! That's really cool. Never knew about this.

Tufts University, couldn't have gone without scholarship money and grants though. That shit is ridiculously expensive.

My best advice would be this: as fun as college may be, try to always remember that you're there to earn a degree, ideally a degree that will allow you to get a better job after graduation that you wouldn't have been able to get if you didn't have that degree. I forgot that myself and was a terrible student my freshmen year.

haha yeah. Stanford is kind of expensive. I got in with a couple of scholarship, but my parents basically paid off the full tuition. I'm soo lucky haha. I'm changing major to bio when I reach sophomore year, so I plan on studying my ass off.

I'm not in college yet (Junior Year, wot wot ._.) but I think I'll most likely get accepted to UCONN or some other Connecticut University. I'm trying to go out of state, but I wouldn't mind staying in for a while.

Advice I've gotten:

1. Don't think College is all parties, fraternities and all you can eat buffets... If you do, you'll only last a week

2. Surround yourself with people who can make you succeed, but also be with people you can have fun with.

3. Don't force yourself to join a group, but try to make new friends while you can

4. Don't try and find a join your freshman year because you'll most likely get stressed out. Get used to the school freshman year and start working sophomore year. But, if you know you can handle work load in academics and at a workforce then go ahead.

That's all I've heard

cmon, don't think soo lowly of me. haha. I've been sticking to these adivce since the beginning of HS. How else would I have gotten into Stanford? LOL

The Parties part is nice to know, I'm not a frequent party-goer, but I'll attend some lol.
The food part will be a struggle for me, I don't eat a lot but on trips to colleges in our area... It was glorious to get that much variety instead of cold rice, half fried steroid infested chicken and unmashed potatoes.

yeee. You should check out Stanford's food. gourmet 24/7. Their freshly caught lobster is AMAZING.

Harvard going on to my 2nd year.

cool! I didn't bother to apply to Harvard. Too preppy for me. Which major?

Anyone else?

At the moment, I am going to Clemson University as a Chemical Engineering and Physics major. However, I am still considering studying at Georgia Tech or NC State, but, unfortunately, out-of-state tuition is just too high; so I am still deciding. The main reason why I would prefer to transfer is simply due to the fact that I would prefer to study Nuclear Engineering as apposed to Chemical; however, I think it would be more beneficial to stay at Clemson and just study Nuclear Engineering under the Navy's program once I graduate.

Congrats on getting accepted to Stanford.
Since Music is your major, what is your minor?

As someone who actually graduated with a degree and got a job, I know plenty of people who just partied the whole time. I wasn't in a frat, but those were awesome to go to for parties. You can party and get shit done. You're right about the buffet part. Food in the cafeterias was expensive.

I think it depends on what you've majored in and what college. Everyone who majored in Business Management were the ones who were partying all the time at my college.

Everyone else had no life cause of work.

Wow, Nuclear Engineering eh? Impressive.
Thanks! My minor will be biotech. I plan on switching to bio major in my sophomore year.
