How do you go about balancing partying and working/studying? |

There are a number of members here who either currently attend college/university or who have graduated already. There are also a number of members who will be entering college/university soon. The purpose of this thread is to open a dialogue between these two groups. Anyone who wants to know about any aspect of college, feel free to ask, and anyone who feels qualified to answer, feel free to do so. |

Living on campus is ideal, as it makes your day more time efficient by shortening the commute. Now, if you live close enough, it might not be that big a deal. Also think about how you're going to be studying. Are you accustomed to it enough in your current home, or do you think you'd be more comfortable in a dorm/off campus house? Too many loud relatives? You get it. |

A word on studying: most students tend to neglect studying beyond simply cramming before an exam, but it's been my experience that keeping up with your textbooks and making sure you understand the material really makes it easy to ace your classes. |

I loved college. It was so much fun! |

Only party on thursday, friday, saturday, the other days are lame unless it's a holiday. Also schedule late classes so that you have time to sleep it off. |

Wow, some very useful info on here. Thanks everyone! |

I had a part-time job working only about 10-15 hours per week, depending on my schedule. A lot of work-study or on-campus jobs are very flexible and can work around your schedule, but it just depends on where you apply. |

How did you guys end up paying for college/uni? |
|
I only filled out two or three scholarship applications when I was a senior in high school, and one when I was in college through my department. Since my dad had already filled out the FASFA application for my brother, he did that for me and that is essential in getting student aid. Fill it out (carefully*) and turn it in as soon as you can. If you're applying for multiple colleges, make sure to include each of them. Even if you're not sure you're going to go to one school, you might change your mind and you want to keep that option open. |

There are lot of factors. Here in the US it depends upon the following: |

My main question: if your major doesn't involve math whatsoever, can you get your credits toward your associate's degree from easy math classes like Algebra 1? I can't stand math. I swear if I have to do anything harder than Algebra 2.... |
|
*sigh* I hear from some people that pre-calculus is the lowest level math class you can take at college. I hear from others you can take classes like Algebra 1 or some other kind of math like statistics to get your math credits. So... which one is true? Just generally, you know for a school like University of *insert state here* or just a public four year college. |

I'm paying about $500 per month, for loans, after graduation. I really don't understand this. Because that's a LOT of money, and after like 2 years my loans should technically be paid off if I go at that rate. Bah I don't get it. And I'm really pissed. |

Here's the way the gen-ed math requirements have worked at the two state schools that I've attended (keep in mind that your specific degree may require math courses beyond the gen-eds - this is very important!). |
|
In addition to what DuB has said, depending on the school, other classes may count towards math credits. At the U of Montana, one of their music classes (Theory?) actually counted towards their... what was it called? "Mathematics and Logical Systems" or something, but it counted towards that. It just had to be a 100-level class (anything under 100 was more "college prep"). Ask around and see what other people have taken. |

Hey, does anyone here know anything about English Universities? |

How do I get to class? |
|
Do you live on or off campus? Do you walk/drive/take the bus? Are you having a hard time getting out of bed or just out of your room/house? |

Yup... free tuition fees for me, but you only get free tuition fees in Scotland if you're a Scottish resident, so I can laugh at all the English and international students who are paying through the nose. However, accommodation is still pretty costly, at the moment I'm paying about £4.5k per year (that's about $7000 I think), but St. Andrews is the most expensive place in the UK for accommodation. |
