Seriously, Did you learn ANYTHING in College?

I learned a lot of things in my classes, some of which are not applicable to my occupation.  But there is more to learning in college than what you get in your classes.  Many of the lessons you learn, such as how to be away from home, can't be measured in your GPA.\n\nSpeaking of GPA's, I will say that it's good to get teh best possible grades that you can, but you should also strike the appropriate balance between formal education and your personal development skills.  I knew many people with 4.0 GPA's, but they were greatly lacking in social skills, for example.

I worked my way thru college, and my college degree was more about self-actualization and opening my mind to new ideas, than it was about getting a job.  It's not as hard to get a degree now, compared to when my father was in college.  Back then, education meant something more.  I was trying to have the same intellectual experience he did, and I think I succeeded.  I have a BA in Political Science, and have been disabled/unemployed for 5 yrs now.  Before that, I worked for Home Depot as a special services associate.  It had nothing to do with my degree, but I was still able to think about people in a way that I never would have, had I stopped after high school...

If they gave you a diploma, you were robed! Go back and start over, try to learn something this time. Geez!

In college I made sure that I was in this one guy's French class every semester, to the point where I took extra classes over summer vacation to keep up.  I always managed to be going in the same direction as him after class whenever possible, and saw way too many French movies with subtitles (he was in the French Club which showed them, plus I got extra credit for all those French classes.)  But I was too stupid to make a move and eventually he got a girlfriend and I gave up. C'est la vie I guess.

Perhaps they are critical points, at which you learned something...\n\nIf you learned nothing, there are none!

the best way i learned was finally goin to college it really helps if you have a degree not a diploma cause all a diploma is good for is to hang on your wall it proves you graduated but it doesnt mean your smart

I recently graduated from college and think I can offer you some good advice. If you're new to college don't get overwhelmed. Its important to find that balance between school and personal time. Trust me you'll need it. You don't want to be all books and have no personality and people skills but at the same time don't forget you're in school to do your best and receive an education. Don't treat college like you did High School it is a different environment. Even if you didn't have to study much in High School, trust me you'll have to study at least some in college. Remember the uneasiness you probably will feel at 1st will pass quickly. To stay focused remember not to look too far ahead be aware of your goals but focus on your present priorities. Start a good communication line between yourself and your professors, they can help keep you on track. And remember have fun, once u finish college you will have the whole rest of your life to work, so enjoy your college experience!!

Do you mean "teaches" you????  The student learns.  The teacher teaches!  Don't think you're quite ready for ANY college yet!

It absolutely is not a waste of time or effort.  Knowledge and learning are invigorating.  Never doubt the value of learning.  This advice is coming from someone who is returning to school to get her bachelors degree.  Enjoy and good luck.

Nothing!!! You can really get all the information you need online. We were required to buy this book for class in college and I never once opened it. Unless theyr equire you to bring it to class or something, I wouldn't bother getting it. Just type whatever you need to know into Google and websites will come up that will help you with all that stuff!!

Are you kidding? The whole point of school is to memorize and learn about things.

I did. What did you need to know?

particularly in the US, college is not just about training you for a future job - it's about making you a more well-rounded person.  I am very glad I took the "useless" classes that I did, becauase I frequently find something about them turned out to be useful after all.  Understanding why beer was such a major part of American history helped me form an opinion on current politics that deal with alcohol and regulations, for example, and basic logic in philosophy still helps me notice when someone's argument is faulty.
