European university would kill me. I am pretty sure I have undiagnosed adhd and universities aren't made for people like me. Having to learn things i dont care about is practically impossible for me. Its not like I don't want to, its because im physically not able to remember these things. This is also why I didnt succeed my drivers license or cant read books I dont consider interesting. So self learning is the only way for people like me.
- bryanhogan 2y agoI've also believed that university is not for me until I found a study that I actually enjoy and which is quite modern. Like my study, based in Germany, combines coding, design and entrepreneurship. With many opportunities for projects that students can initiate themselves, to work on what they value and enjoy. Something that they might make into a real-world product/service. And classes were very hand-ons, focused on actually doing the thing and not just theory. Also helped that there were almost zero typical exams and each class was two weeks long, two weeks of just that class. So what I want to say is that there are opportunities beyond the concept of university of a 100 years ago. Concepts that might align more with your values and needs.
