[eastsideman09]

Who here's gonna be a freshman in college this year? Where are you going to college? What classes are you taking? How ****ing expensive are your books?


I'm going to Northwest Florida State College (local college ftw :P) for my AA.
I'm taking Art History, General Biology, Pre-Cal, and English Comp 2 this semester. Books were freakin $420 :/....

Classes start next month for me :P

[hi_top]

[RagedBerserker]

Haha, yeah I'm going to SUNY Oswego in NY, local for me...

I'm taking English, Psych, Socialogy, some music class, and some education class...
BTW I'm majoring in Adolesence Education-Social Studies

As for books I'm not sure yet

[A2P]

Haha. College...nerds.

...jk I write A papers in college ;(

[eastsideman09]

I plan on majoring in Graphics or Web Design... My advisor said we were gonna wait till September to start talking more about my field of study, since she doesn't know what all I've already got credit for with my classes and certificates... :/

(I probably should check into that, right? :3)


yes lolol

[Brycexx]

dont worry the books only get more expensive and eventually they won't even buy them back at the bookstore.

[foilman8805]

Eventually, they don't even sell them at the bookstore either. :/

[hi_top]

worst thing about my course is it isn't regularly offered so It may take more than two years for my degree

[dore]

yay for renting books for free from the university

[eastsideman09]

boo for doreloopholes =p

[cry4eternity]

Michigan Tech University. I'm looking at Computer Science as a major right now. Dunno about books yet.

[DotKritic]

Going for my Business Administration AA. Term is costing $851.00.

I'll let you know on my books.

edit: $678.35 for my books.

edit2: I should just get an online degree.

edit3: Classes are College Algebra, Prep for College English, Business Computer Apps, and Introduction to Sociology.

[hi_top]

Dot, that was my first choice, but decided to specialize in accounting

[tangomango]

Not going to college yet, but I've taken classes at my community college, and damn, were those textbooks expensive.

[Prime8]

I'm going to be a sophomore at Texas Tech, but I want to transfer to University of Texas next year. I'm double majoring in Mathematics and Computer Science. My books last year were $803 1st semester and $873 2nd semester. I didn't even use 2 of the books because the professor never had work come from them or they weren't useful references (1 of them was still wrapped in plastic rofl). I took them to several bookstores and they would only take used prices, even for the one in plastic, so I just kept them.

EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot to list my classes for this coming semester. My double major program is a 5 year plan that I'm trying to do in 4, so I'm taking a more dense workload than most. Took 18 and 19 hours last year, respectively. So yeah, to the classes: Data Structures, Theory of Automata, some Honors seminar called "International Affairs in the Global Community", Differential Equations, and Physics II. Only 17 hours this time :lol:

About to graduate for good :)

Yeah, it was pretty nice to be done.

[DotKritic]

Can't wait till I'm out.

[Seefu Sefirosu]

Auditioned for Berklee, New England Conservatory, and University of North Texas.

Applied for Jazz Performance to all of them.

I then rejected all of them in favour of not going to college for a while.

[Prime8]

Did you get accepted to all of them? If so, why would you turn them down?

[Seefu Sefirosu]

Did you get accepted to all of them? If so, why would you turn them down?

Yes I did, and I turned them down because A) The fees are amazingly high, and B) If I went to college right now, I'd drop out before I finished.

I'm not a school person.

[purity_angel]

ha i still have another year or so, hmm im planning on going to florida state university, and major in zoology :) or something science related.

[bmah]

I go to the University of Alberta, and I'm currently enrolled in specialization in geology. Will be a 4th year student doing 3rd year classes.

So you won't buck up for a better school, but you'll drop out of a worse school. At least one isn't a waste of money.

I'm going to Seneca College @ York for Computer Systems Technology for 3 years, and I will probably follow that up with Open Source Software Engineering. Going to be a blast 8D

[JurseyRider734]

I go to community college and my books are 500+ dollars a semester. The good thing is that at the end of each semester they do a book buy-back, so my parents buy the books for me and then when I'm done with classes I bring the books to a person in charge of the buy-back and they give me straight up cash in exchange for the book. Then I get to keep the cash. So I make around 200 dollars each semester just for giving back the book because I get to keep the money. You guys all probably have something like that too, but I just find it really exciting.

No, I'd pay it. It's just a turn-off. And I'd drop out of any school.

So in the end, it's all a waste of money.

[MrGiggles]

I got accepted to RIT (I don't even know how I think they messed up in admissions. I had a C/C- average.) for videogame design and development starting in a month, which I'm mildly excited for. They even sent me some money for my board scores or something like that.

Or you can not drop out so you don't have to suck dick for a living? You're going to kick your own ass someday @_@. In all seriousness if you found out what you would love doing for a job, then go into that you would love going. Don't just limit yourself to the best of your potential. If I had the potential to be a doctor, and make way more money than an IT guy, I would still go into IT cause being a doctor would be boring as hell for me.

York history tried to recruit me, it was kinda weird, they had a history professor call me at my house to try and talk me into going.

[StormKlowd61]

I'm going to the University of the Fraser Valley. Going for a Bachelor of Arts; majoring in Psychology and minoring in English.

Maybe I'm not a ****ing Plan A troll like 4/5ths of HS seniors.

Musician = As much money as I feel like making.

And don't even mention the recession.

In the Great Depression, the musicians were the only ones making money.

Same thing is happening now, though not to the same degree.

But bars and musicians are doing ****ing great around here.

[PsYcHoZeRoSk8eR]

About to graduate for good :)

Hopefully I'm in this same situation... I'll be starting my senior year, but I still have a few classes to make up.

[MarukuAntoni]

I just finished all my prereqs to get in the nursing program. Now I'm just waiting for my name to be called. I should think about getting the AA just for looks on my resume. It might help just a tiny bit with the jobs. Anyways, books each semester has eaten about 500 from my wallet each semester. I also need to get off my lazy butt and sign up for financial aid to pay for that crap.

yeah good luck with that
