"You can get away with a lot if you have good grades."
College rocks, btw.

my high school was great. Being at a jc kinda sucks, only because all my real friends left for college. But honestly, I go to school 10 hours a week. I spend about 3 hours a week tops studying/doing homework/anything school related, and have a 3.7 gpa.
Scary thing is, once I get to real college, i'm probably gonna be fvcked
oh yeah there's no question about that. Without the hands on teaching from my accounting professor at my JC, there's probably no way i'd even know I want to be an accountant. I've seen the type of mindless work and random multiple choice crap that most university professor give in their beginning accounting classes and i'm happy that didn't happen to me.Originally posted by: Chaotic42

I like JC more than I liked being at University. The professors actually seem to care here at the JC. Maybe it's just our strong science department, but I have a good feeling about the school I'm in.
That's how my school is.Originally posted by: PoPPeR

In a typical class of 30 at my JC, i'd say there are about 5-7 real students in the class, then about 10-15 students that will end up transfering but dont give a fvck, and then a good 1/3 of the class never shows up and will probably drop out of school altogether within the next few years. Most of my professors (or teachers) can see who actually cares and usually caters to that students needs.
