OP, like many people on HN when talking about college, is hilariously out of touch.
- SpicyLemonZest 7y agoI don't think it's about being out of touch. Even among the most out of touch people at the most out of touch schools, college students just don't behave like he's describing. Could you imagine the stereotypical prep school kid claiming that they're better than you, more valuable or higher status, because they got higher grades in an introductory class?
- lonelappde 7y agoUm, yes? Kids compete at whatever they are good at, including the cohort who are good at academics. Jocks think weaklings are losers, and nerds think dumbdumbs are losers. Not everyone does, but everyone knows one.
- mcguire 7y agoSure. But in most cases, that first semester of college beats that out of them.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 7y agoIt reads like he thinks college is an anime set in a competitive Tokyo high school. It doesn't at all reflect my experience at a t20 undergrad school. Most people were just busy having fun, getting laid, and maybe doing a little studying from time to time. Except the pre-med folks. They were doing a lot more of the latter and a lot less of the former.
