Arguing in the other direction, if you mainly just need the sheepskin, this might be an unusually easy time to get one.
Personally, my college experience was mainly useful for discovering that my college experience wasn't going to be very useful for me.

- gumby 7y agoThat’s a shame; I’m have remained close friends with a couple of dozen dorm- and lab- mates even after 35 years. Even started a company with one 20 years ago. And we were all non-gregarious nerds. I wonder if that is why? My university was quite large, with about 4,000 undergrads and about the same number of grad students. My high school was about 40 students a year (240 total) and I am barely in contact with any of them.
