The most expensive piece of paper I own is the contract for my studio apartment, $268K for 450 square feet in NYC.  That is a lot more than my college education cost me.  And, yes, in the long run, it is worth it.  Even though you may have far more skills and be much more intelligent than someone else applying for the same job, a person with a college degree will have a huge edge on being selected.  And this will follow you throughout your career for promotions and getting better jobs with other companies.

Somewhat they would like you to purchase the book as well.\nThe Deans list for college is a better list. You dont need it unless you need validation for your accomplishment, but as a college student (on the deans list) your already on track. \nGood Luck

If it's a community college level, don't put too much pressure on yourself.\nTerm paper is a report of a collection of articles focusing on one question. You can state how that question interests you. Or why you want to research over this topic.\nAfter that is the body of the paper, you can put together the summary of articles you've read in an an order that help answer the original question.

I'd sell the car, go with GC, move somewhere close by campus, get a cheap bicycle from somewhere and live in comfort because I would have the peace of mind that the better grades you're going to get as a resault from the smaller class size is going to bring you better oppertunities. I did it and I am much better off for it and I owed almost next to nothig by the time I got a career (not a job), you know what I mean. A lot of people think it's all about partying but it's not, those days are long over for people that are serious about their education and the rest of their lives.

I concur. Also with the ACT, but I'm starting to believe more in it now since I got a very high score, higher than what my grades would put me as, showing I am unmotivated :D I got suckered into an AP exam and I guess it's okay if you want to pay 80$ and die slowly yet surely when the questions keep coming and coming... I liked the SAT, though, because it was based more on grammar and literature, though I don't know a use for it.

Here's a q to ask people:\n\nWould you consider taking out student loans to pay for college if it guaranteed you a better job?

Not as important as your money.  If a college is comparing you to another student for admission then they are 5% important.  In addition,  they help you if you are seeking scholarships.

No it is an excellent idea and you are ahead of most of your classmates at this point.  Continue searching for colleges because your senior year will be so less stressful.

Going to college full time, living on my own, working part-time and keeping up a committed, 4-year long-distance relationship at the same time.  These are more like medium-sized achievements but I'm the first in my family to go to college, not many people my age live by themselves, working is a necesity but it adds to the workload and the relationship part is difficult, but working out well.  It's all hard work.

I am taking on-line classes now to get my degree in Business. I want to a college campus for 2 years and as much as I may have liked it, I like taking on-line classes even better. If you are young and this is you first college experience go to a college campus so that you can get that experience, but if you have done that than let me tell you have much easier going to school on-line makes my life. I do not have to take the time to drive to and from campus I do not have to rearrange my work or life to make room and time to study for classes. Because I have all day to do an assignment and I am giving my assignment for the classes before the classes start I can do everything early. If you have a family, job, and a thousand other thing that you have to do each day I say go for it. Some jobs help with the cost mine did but I was also able to get grants. I am to get my degree in December only two years and that was because I had to take refreshment classes and I had to take a break because of the hurricanes.

In my opinion college is much better than high school.  I found high school restricting and ridiculous all around.  In list form I'll give my reasons why college is much better than high school: You can choose your classes (more options than high school) and what time you want to take them.  If you don't feel like going to class, you can make that decision to stay home knowing that you may pay for it later. You feel more like an adult.  You're living on your own (or at least in my case).  You meet new people, and probably people who are in your area of interest.  College is the pathway between being a child and an adult.  You're still young, but you most likely don't pay your taxes and it's ok to have pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  College is the best thing that has happened to me.  :)

if you havent got flash drive, it may be a very good choice because:\n- you can actually use it /useful\n- last a few years if you use it well, good for memorabilia... ten years later you can still have it, a small gift that reminds you about the first time you go to college\n- with cash an gift certificate, you can find something that may last for sometime, such as the flash drive. Nice to have a memorabilia to remember the moment you enter college.

It was the best of times... it was the worst of times....   Well, the majority of people tend to look fondly upon their college years.  However, looking at it realistically, it did have its ups and downs. \n\nThe volume of homework and tests is going to vary depending on your school and the major you've chosen.  As a Freshman (assuming the school you attend isn't highly specialized), you will take mostly "general education" courses and perhaps a few elective courses (perhaps some lower-level courses in your major). These classes can help you balance out the more difficult classes.  These "Gen Ed" courses will expose you to a variety of subjects and learning styles.  Use them to learn about yourself and how you study: if you're a self-motivated student, maybe you'll crave a class that doesn't have a lot of structure; if you crave order and need to be told what you study and when, then seek out classes with highly-structured syllabi that will keep you on track.  \n\nI took many classes where 75% of my time was spent reading, which made it seem like I was always done with a week's worth of work in a matter or hours. Of course, this reading was really just preparation for several LARGE papers that I would later write as midterms or final exams.  In my case, I knew that this was the learing style I preferred -- I wasn't a procrastinator and I could be self-directed when necessary.  \n\nIf this is not your style, don't worry; there are classes for every learning style. Some schools offer lots of small classes; others rely heavily on lectures.  Both have their perks. Students who like to disappear into the crowd and learn without drawing a lot of attention to themselves can fare well in a lecture course.  Students who like to ask lots of questions and prefer direct pupil-to-teacher instruction might like small classes.  \n\nBottom line: of all the factors that differentiate college from high school, classes are by no means the biggest one.  If you have been hard-working and driven throughout your high school education -- and if you know how to handle yourself when you've been given a lot of work -- then you should be able to carry this through to your college experience.  The biggest change you'll experience will be the great levels of freedom and independence suddenly thrust upon you.  Don't be afraid to make changes (add/drop classes; find a new roommate, etc.) until you find a situation that works for you.  And, if you're having a tough time and you think everyone around you has it all together, remember this: they don't.

i really think it would be best not to have to  worry about loans or paying them off while you are trying to go through college...if it is just as good a college and you can get your degree is the best thing...there is so many expenses with going to college you will need all the money you can... clothes books, etc, without worrying about loans...
