i know i dont know any of you personally but i know for a fact none of ya'll were like "i wanna go to college when i grow up." i was tryna post that 'dreams canceled' piece by banksy but apparently i need 25 posts to do so.
yeah dont get me wrong, college is cool if you're tryna make a career out of your life. ivy leagues aren't all that btw, i hate how society looks at ivy leagues like it's some crazy exceptional way to get educated. all education is the same, it's all business, it's all designed to severely curtail your imagination, doesn't matter if you're paying a hundred grand a year or if you're going to junior college for a couple hundred. it's all the same.

uni of virginia and william & mary aren't ivy league schools. i'm a junior at yale and i took a couple courses at the local community college back home in cali this summer, and i honestly felt that there were no major differences as far as how well the professors were able to teach the class. but obviously you will see differences when you look at how determined the students are in either community colleges or prestigious unis. of course you'll notice that there are a lot of kids in community college that don't give a fuck about school, but that doesn't dictate the level of schooling you will get regardless what kind of school you go to. i'm not talking out of my ass, i'm just sharing my honest observations.
You transferred to Yale from a community college? I have to congratulate you on that, man. Matriculation for a transfer student to an Ivy is insanely difficult. Going off tangent, what's your story? What were your grades like in high school and CC? Extra curricular activities? Tell me everything.
nah, i went to yale after hs, i just took a couple courses at the community college this summer. i had pretty decent grades at a private hs, but my admittance to yale was largely due to the fact that my father went to yale for both undergrad and grad, and my brother went to yale for grad school as well. not many people are aware of this but if you have family that are alumni from a particular school you're pretty much guaranteed acceptance, unless you completely fucked up in hs. my whole family went to prestigious schools so i could have gone to probably any school of my liking, but my pops made me go to yale just cuz he knows if i were to choose which school to go to i would probably go to a public uni here in cali.
I wish Yale had a pharm school.
Ivy's don't respect my [future] profession.

This is so wrong. A degree in finance from DeVry university compared to a degree in finance from wharton? A degree in computer science from some state college compared to a degree in eecs from MIT or CMU? Lets start comparing shit to gold!
I go to William and Mary and honestly, it's hard. The expectations from professors are a lot harder, classes are more rigorous. It's 2 spots behind UVA for best university overall in the nation (31 and 33 respectively). The name really does help a lot with employers and the fact that you can graduate with above a 3.5 shows employers something. I wish I had a 3.5 (my goal was to at least get a 3.0 per semester and it's so fucking hard to get there). Of course, it's smart to go to community college at first then transfer after freshman/sophomore year to start off with a great GPA plus it also saves some money. Looking at the colleges here, I feel so minuscule compared to Yale, NYU, UC-Berkeley, UNC; those universities know where it's at. On a side note, UVA is hard to get in, easy to get out; on the other hand, WM is both hard to get in and get out.
Depaul, Northwestern, Villanova, Boston University, U Of Chicago, MIT, Denver U, bunch of random schools with the Common App too
college is hard?
wtf?
i guess it depends on your major >_>

Haha the thing about UNC, you wouldn't think it's hard because it seems like so many average kids go there, and its pretty well rounded. Unlike William and Mary, where everybody in the Southeast knows its a place where kids go to study all day every day for 4 years.

First off, props for going to W&M. I love the school but I'd personally never go there. One of my best buds graduated from there with a 3.9 or something. Whole family is full of geniuses. What's your major?
