I went to BYU-Idaho, it has literally 0 ''clout'' but the quality of education Is really high and it's really really cheap. I also liked that it was a Christian school. I would literally bet cash it's the least woke place you can get a degree in America.

I liked living in the middle of nowhere Idaho as well. I'd recommend looking into it of you actually want to learn without having to constantly deal with PC crap.

Is it worth going to school if I can only get into community college? Seems like all the classes are pretty watered down and only about half the teachers actually give a crap about teaching. No school spirit to speak of, everyone is commuters and most students barely speak English.

Everyone says I'm wasting my time and should be in school, but it doesn't seem worth it. Not like I have a career or any bright prospects for the future, but at least I have time to read actual books and study things I'm interested in.

I'd go to cc and apply myself in order to transfer, anon.
Where I come from, lots of majors don't have an entry requirement, so they take everyone with a high school degree and just filter in the first year. A couple of my friends had bad grades in high school and started focusing in uni. On the other hand, lots of people, who had really good grades, end up dropping out or underperforming. I don't think that your HS grades necessarily determine your ability to succeed in college.

I'm the guy above who is in uc Berkeley
I graduated HS with a 1.9 gpa because I barely showed up in class
Once I decided to try out school again I moved back into my mom's house and took 7 classes a semester (and a summer term) at a community college so I can complete it in a year vs 2, had a 3.9 gpa and and got accepted into every uc I applied. I recommend moving to California and going to a cc, it's a really great system. And most community colleges have great teachers too, pretty much all had PhDs and some from schools like Stanford and Harvard. My history teacher was an associate professor at Yale and was one of the best I ever had. Depending on the school, you will run into a ton of international students.

You sound like me in the past. So I will give you my best advice:
Don't worry. Don't over think things. Read constantly: as much as you can. Read things that interest you. If you don't like something you HAVE to read, find a way to like it. SOMETHING about it that you like. Learn to think outside of your own opinions.

DO NOT: smoke weed, orgasm, or hang out with friends too much. These are all very good things but they won't help you academically. That being said, reward yourself as much as you can.

Also, rewrite your essays over and over again. Don't leave them till the last minute. No matter how smart you are or how much you studied a subject, your essay won't be any good until you've rewritten it at least twice. But rewrite it as many as 10 times. It's going to be boring. But totally worth it. 99% of success in college is hard work.

Our department is an analytic department and a choice school for those that want to study the philosophy of biology or classical Chinese philosophy.

My family lives in a shithole small town, so going to school means moving to the big city, having no support network, working full time, and spending the rest of my time going to shitty CC classes where the teacher shows a couple youtube videos and takes a nap.
Got tired of my miserable living conditions, not having money to eat, and my ex girlfriend nagging me so I just called it a loss and moved back home.

Idk everyone tells me I should go to school, since I like to read and write and discuss philosophy/history, but it seems like that sort of stuff doesn't actually happen in college, most people were just immigrants here for the visa and nobody stuck around campus they just came for classes and left immediately after.

Feels kinda hopeless desu. If it was a big school maybe I could at least network or get involved in clubs or something, but it's not. Just jump through hoops, live in miserable conditions for two years, and maybe maybe maybe I will be let into "higher education". Almost insulting.

Those low effort cc classes are a blessing. If you're decently well versed then there is nothing in undergraduate classes you wouldn't be able to do yourself without a teacher. And since classes are online now they are piss easy, just stack up classes and finish it as fast as you can. I had the same problem, my ego had me angry sitting in these retard classes when I thought that I should be able to skip it. I dropped out of community college because of this. Well I gained some maturity and returned to school and absolutely killed it getting straight As with barely any effort. Now I'm in a good school with opportunities to discuss my passion with experts

I would add that the lack of social life at community colleges also hurt, especially when everybody else my age were in different situations. Just ignore it. Think long term.

A lot of teachers in community colleges grow apathetic because they deal with loads of idiot kids who don't give a shit and just need the credits. Try participating and showing that you have an interest in the material and background knowledge in the subject. You'll be surprised how knowledgeable they are sometimes and how much they let you get away with once they begin to like you. I had an intro history professor who I would stay after class and ask him questions about books I was reading. He let me write papers in topics I like not officially assigned and didn't care when I would be drawing in a notebook during a lecture. Same in my philosophy and English classes.

I know I just said I'm undecided but honestly I am a business major
But I'm slightly embarrassed to say so.
I want to clear up this amphetamine coke-addicted Kelley kid rumor.
Kelley kids don't do coke and snort adderall because the classes are so hard. They do it because they're rich, privileged, east-coast white kids.
IU Kelley has a "direct admit" program where basically, if your SAT/ACT and GPA are at a certain threshold, you're auto-accepted and fast-tracked. Doesn't matter if it's the most inflated airy GPA ever, you got a decent SAT score, you're in.
It's a genius racket. They scoop up absurd amounts of Out of State tuition from rich numbskulls and stack the school's faculty to attract even more.
The classes really aren't hard. Business school is like a 4 year trade school to learn Excel and how to shirk responsibility in group work. This semester I took the honors data analysis course, it's supposed to be a ball-buster with endless hours of homework, in reality it was a very hands-on, intuitive class where they show you how to put stuff together and then you do it on your own, following a strict instruction manual. A high schooler can pass business classes easily.
So anyway, it all boils down to ego-inflated clowns walking around feeling like they own the world, all the while their university education amounting to serving some big corporation in a soul crushing desk job. And they idolize such a fate!
>What's your dream job?
>"CEO"
>CEO of what? How do you want to influence the world?
>"Uuuuhhhhhhh"
I swear I've witnessed this very interaction before. Business school is for the uninspired or, ironically, unambitious.
I haven't made a single real friend in this huge business school, at least not anyone I didn't already know from high school. I can't connect to them at all. All the men do is watch sports or sports analysis on their phones, and there are relatively few women.
Sorry for the rant but I am a little ashamed of getting myself stuck in this place, I've been exploring other options. Don't want to do math or engineering or research for a living. Creative Writing or Philosophy are enriching, but don't directly lead to careers. I'll probably double major.

I can't really say anything about the humanities here but they seem to have a good reputation (ancient history, theology etc). I'd imagine it's quite nice to get to study in the old town. The Marstallmensa there is top tier if you ask me.
Finding a place is really not that hard, but the Wohnheim is much cheaper and especially the apartments in Rohrbach have good value (I'm talking Römerstrasse, my ex lived there). She didn't even apply for the Wohnheim but just called a number and they gave her a place because there's usually a couple of free rooms there.

He's a poser/pop philosopher like Gabriel (Bonn). Germany is in a bad state right now philosophically, academia is very nepostistic. Lots of young talent I know is unwilling to play the game and being sidelined, while the sycophants get tenured. Metzinger is one of the latter.

It’s way better. I have two bachelors degrees and I would certainly say that I preformed better and was far more engaged in my classes and campus life with the second degree that I started at 23. The first degree that I started at 18 was me spending most of my time drunk and depressed, getting pot when I could, watching anime, playing with my dick, fucking around in the gym, and in general being a piece of shit with no direction all because I was going to college for free. I’m honestly still amazed I finished that degree and was able to become a decent human being down the road.
Long post to say that kids going to college at 18 for the most part aren’t mature enough to handle it and colleges become teenage daycare for the upper middle class as a result. Obviously there are exceptions to this but in general if you’re starting college at 22-24 instead you will be far better off.

You do know we have a great underwater science department right? For 24 credits you can get a certificate in underwater resource management, your dive master, and be able to apply it with buissiness. You'll learn about ecosystem management, archaeology, marine biology (all of which are optional) and you get a crap ton of SCUBA certifications. If you dont end up wanting to work at a dive shop or doing buissiness things for an environmental organization, you can always just take the basic certification class. I've met many buissiness people who use scuba on their travels so they can get some leisure while they work. If you're wanting something different, just take the certification class and see if you like it.

I had thoughts of perhaps going back again and finishing my engineering degree after my phil, so I checked out some third, fourth semester courses this year again and even sat exams, but all this did was reassure my resolve that I want nothing to do with the STEM world itself and even less with the enginnering side.

I went to BYU in Provo. They had a survey in 2016 and found most of BYU supported Bernie Sanders than any other candidate at the time. I did my major in philosophy, we tended to be progressive if not straight up leftist. Times are changing, old dinosaur. Before you know it Utah will be blue and it's thanks to the millennial Mormons themselves more than the Salt Lake City 'gentiles'.

But yeah BYU was super cheap so everyone should go there to make net income off of going to school and receiving free scholarship and financial aid money greater than the price of tuition (which is like 5k a year). Then go get a Master's/PhD to make some sweet free stipend money, since they cover the cost of tuition completely. Not a cent of debt if you do it right.

You know they send missionaries worldwide, and every missionary that comes back has learned to deeply love a foreign culture, the LDS church also supports being charitable to illegal immigrants and Utah implemented some temporary visa thing for them if they show they are willing to work in the United States. Mormonism was always internationally-minded. It's only American-traditionalist (when it is) because of Stockholm syndrome, the conservative Protestants are hegemonic and they mold other nonconformist Christians to their mindset with time, Mormons aren't the only ones this has happened to. When it was still new, it implemented complete communalist redistributionism, and it continues to have a welfare program. Despite its Stockholm syndrome, Mormonism began as 'the church is communist' and is now 'the church is a tithing-based welfare state'. BYU is cheap because of tithing. If you're poor the Church will pay your mission, and give you free food, maybe more. The Stockholm syndrome leads so many of the Republican Mormons to say "Yeah it's okay when a church forces it on its members, but it's not okay when a country forces it on others!" The millennial Mormons are seeing through the Stockholm syndrome and also are well aware of the 1978 revelation without having been part of the generation before it. It's not that Mormons don't have some traditional virtues like an industrious work ethic, but the religion itself is capable of generating leftist sympathies. To be fair so is Christianity itself in general.

Not at all. Actually, I think 21-23 is the best age to start college for various reasons. First, you are more likely to know yourself better, out of a highscool classroom and you've had other experiences (even if they're just internal, like discovering new interests or asking different questions). More importantly, you do not only know better what you like, but you also know what you DON'T. You'll be more experienced and mature, but the generational difference between you and your 19 year old peers is, trust me, non existent.

Yes, it is a great idea. Besides, if you're american, this time won't be an 18 year old taking a 100,000 dollars loan in something you don't even know what is about. Go for it, anon. I changed degrees at 21 and was the best decision I ever made.

Cambridge - Engineering (I really don't like most other engineers as they think that they are out to save the world with their technical solutions, while ignoring the fact that a lot of issues are social. And they don't read.)

Might be The book of the New Sun. I am about to reread the series, because the second reading is the one that truly shows the mastery of the novels.

Any other recs?

I've considered doing master's level work in finance or business for the shits and giggles. I'm doing theological work but was raised by a financial advisor and taught about finance/markets/systems since 4th grade. It'd be more of a hobby that I'd study part time if I ever /made it/ or get an inheritance large enough to reinvest + cover classes with the surplus. Do you enjoy studying business?
