Would you all do school and work at the same time?
How would you do it?
Went to CC straight out of HS. Partied too much and worked full time so I dropped out. 3 yrs ago finished up my Associates from the CC and transferred to University, which I'm still attending. So I'm 29 doing what I should have been doing when I was 20ish. I'm so glad I didn't go to University straight out of HS. I would have flunked out and been in MAJOR debt with no degree for sure. I wasn't mature enough back then. Now I'm breezing through classes and will have my degree easily (but will no doubt owe a ton of student loans)

How is the student life there? I planned on applying there when I was a H.S.senior but unknowingly missed the deadline to apply haha. I didnt know the deadline was so early. (Nov 1)
Ehh its alright.
The school is massive with around 50K students but I find the activities kinda lacking compared to my friends at smaller private schools.
Of course parties and bars are decent but a lot of people go home during the weekends after football season

Greek life massive out there?
Oh yes, really a defining thing for some people but didn't seem worth it to me.
I didn't like the idea of paying for friends and one of my roommates did it and his plummeted during rush and all that.
Plus our frats have a big cocaine problem and one is about to be abolished from campus due to some of their exploits on vacation involving spitting on veterans, beating up one of their support dogs and finishing with pissing on the American Flag.

DAMN... Here in Syracuse Greek life basically runs the campus for the most part. Of course there's things to do outside of Greek life but many end up joining. I am contemplating at least rushing and see how I like the Greek system. The dues are what kept me back last semester :x
The problem with college is ppl view it as only a gateway to a job when in reality its a place where u can educate yourself and make important connections
I got into my realistic #1 choice and was there for my two years. The business school was pretty competitive and most people applied during the spring of their sophomore year. Those that had trouble getting into prerequisite classes or had to repeat a class or two one semester usually applied the next semester, being fall of their junior year.
Throughout those first two years, I had several friends who were business majors that ended up switching majors because they knew they didn't have a shot at getting in. Most of them decided to major in something that was honestly a joke major and only did so because there was some overlap in the prerequisites and because they heard it was easy. Spring of my sophomore year I was retaking two classes and since I couldn't take any other business classes and was pretty set with gen-eds, I decided to take the two prerequisite classes for another major as a backup. I even considered transferring elsewhere to be a business major and applied just in case.
The night after taking my first final for the prerequisite class for my backup major, which I ended up doing well on and being accepted into the school, I started to feel extremely sick and ended up having to be taken by an ambulance to the hospital where an IV narrowly prevented me from blacking out. I suffered from a severe stomach flu, received medication, and had to battle through the rest of finals week as I struggled to study while I regained my health. Almost no amount of studying could have prepared me for one final in one of my business classes though. The class average was a 55 and even though I did slightly better than that, it brought my B down to a C+ and hurt my chances of getting in.
Last summer I was faced with the options of either going through an intense and potentially wasted fall semester if I wasn't accepted into the business school, accepting my spot in the upper-level coursework of a different major, or transferring to a different school. I ended up going with the latter and it's a decision I still have second thoughts over as I'm about to go into my senior year this fall.
