dont knock being in college...i graduated in the UK about a year ago...and working just doesnt compare to the life you have in college/uni.
Rack up that debt dude...and spend a chunk of working life paying it back

*Hi Joe!!!*
You're only young once, and college is definitely the most easygoing time. Even working full time as an engineer for one summer is enough to make me want to go back to school...

I can't agree more! I've been workking for 2 years now, and I live in Austin, TX usa. the largest university in the united states is here, and man am i envious of those kids. not ever really having to be or do anything. I miss it. i was retarded and pushed through in 3 years. mistake on my part, should've taken 5 years like my brother. Only difference i have found is that when working you have less time, however now you have some income to buy toys with! its a trade off. Even though i am working i am still stingy about my $$, so i'll have to wait a month or so, cause i only want to spend $350 or less since i just built a new system. Enjoy college, and dont forget to take adavantage of the ignorant women, before they get jaded and wise to the real world!

I don't recall college being fun - i was studying my ass off.
I hated university with a passion. My mistake I guess for taking engineering, which was and still is 90 percent male. I had to go all the way to the other side of campus just to meet a few hotties.
Often fell asleep during "statics and dynamics", the professor was so pissed of at half of the class for not knowing basic engineering principles or properly documenting it. "An elephant is tied to a rope pulling on a stake tied to the ground with 500 pounds of force" Draw a force diagram... Most people would forget to draw in the 500 pounds of force going in the opposite direction of the pull of the elephant to keep it in equilibrium. Call it lazyness, but I think our entire generation was that way (I was smack dab in the middle of the generation X malaise) Got like 99 (A+) percent in Chemistry, and 40 (D-) percent in Advanced calculus.
I did not find any professors enlightening, most were just rude and had egos the size of trucks.

Damn, y'all are some bitter ass engineers. I'm not saying dynamics, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, statics, or anything like that are fun classes (mechanical design was the shit though), but they teach you a lot about the way things happen and why. I consider them just an extension of the first physics class I took and how much it opened up about the world.
But yea, the hotties are not at all well represented, especially in a school that is already 60-40 male-female

my buddy already got his aerospace eng & he's finishing up his mechanical eng. He says there is one attractive girl in all of his classes, but she is a mom. lol\
back to topic, he will probably be able to afford a GT when he graduates in a month.
