I loved college, going to school during the day was a bit of a drag though.
did a year and left to do some racing, now (2 years after i left) I'm at Wyotech spending my days in class working on bikes hehe.  Gotta go back to "real school" when I'm done here though but it was a nice long vacation!
the college I went to did EVERYTHING online, I honestly don't think I got a single piece of paper in the mail from them the year I was there.

God I wish I was still in college. Learn to love it because it's after that the real work starts. Most people who went to college as long as I did are doctors. I am not.

I loved college.  Even though I was working 50 hours a week and takng 16 units a semester, I still enjoyed every bit of it.

The thing is you need to go to a good school - and not just good because the Princeton review says so.  Also, I found that public schools are a complete waste of time for the most part.  There are some good ones and in fact, where I am, great ones, but I still turned them down after trying to deal with the BS of their bureaucratic systems.  I ended up going to a private school (which I never thought I would do) and had a great time, met some great people are professors and actually paid less (after grants and scholarships) than I would've at the public schools I was considering.

So, basically, don't be surprised that a state-funded school is all ass-backwards - you ever been to a DMV?  Same basic workforce.

*In case you care the public school was UCLA and the private school was USC.

Today i had my Transfer Student orientation, City College seems good...aside from the admin. Why?

11:30 was orientation. 1pm was registration. in a room of 30 students, i didnt get to sit down with the advisor until 6pm. I had to get teh dean of engineering to come in and talk to the advisors. Why? because at 4pm he refused to continue to work. Yes, he refused to work. My orientation said, Water and food will be provided after the orientation. We had choclate chip cookies and water. I made friends with a few other guys, and 1 kid who bullshitted so much. He talked himself up so high, we all just stared at him. Total douche bag. The rest of us, were so unorganized, i ended up making a hat with numbers in it so we could decide who would go register first because there was no body organizing anything.

Atop of that, i could not register. Why? Registration is locked for all the classes i need. I have to go tomorrow and personally hunt the teachers down and ask them to allow me to overfill in their class. And then take a filler class. They also wont give me this writing class for credit, so i have to appeal that, quite possibly, its going to force me to have a semester with only 2 classes, othewise, i will be taking less than 12 creits every semester for the next 3 years.

I'm gonna have to move closer to school, tis over a 1:30 train ride to school.

Wow man, that really doesn't inspire confidence does it...
