Whoa. Is this subtle irony? I can't believe anyone who isn't actually a college admissions person wrote this.
College can teach you some practical techniques, it can be broadening, and it can be a place to build relationships. But life skills? If that's what you want, you really would be better off dropping out.
- cdcarter 14y agoCollege gives you the opportunity to live in an apartment with real people and real bills while still under the protective umbrella of being a student. In the US, going to college means you have health care (you are paying for it, but you don't have a choice), you have access to fairly inexpensive food, and a lot of advisors who can help you and WANT to help you while you fuck up. That really does help in the transition from living with parents or in a dorm to having a place of your own.
