The College Thread

[Worthless Loser]

How many classes do you guys usually take per semester? I've been doing four but I feel like I need to start doing five to speed this shyt up.

When I was in undergrad I took 5 classes per semester. I was like you and wanted to finish early so I also took one class every winter term and summer term. Finished undergrad one semester early.

The courseload for 5 classes isn't too much. Just try to space out your schedule and make a good pace for yourself.

Where would you guys recommend an international student go to college?

Right now I'm looking at USA, Canada, Japan, and Germany. My end goal is to get a quality education, and set myself up to become a influential person in society, and have the knowledge needed to create my own products and company. The major I would choose is Mechanical engineering, while throwing in some computer science and electronics minors.

School started, and I had to dropDifferential Equations real quick, I was not gonna put the time and effort in that class

I was asking cuz my nieces are starting college this year and they are worried about how much they can handle since they are working full time.

Are you college aged or an older breh going back to school? I was 30 when I went back to school so I was working full time. I took accelerated 5-week courses, just one class at a time, to get it over with.

If they are just starting, I wouldn't recommend going full time. It can get overwhelming since the college work load and responsibilities are different than HS. Im 23 & work AND go to school full time but I know what awaits me and I know I can handle it. For a 17/18/19 year old, it's not the same imo.

Anyway, I'm here for some free ebook websites. The one I was on has a download max

free ebooks Library Genesis / LibGen - The Meta Library

I chose the USA because it's near and for OPT but Canada is more easier to stay after graduation

Starting my first day, I'm 20 so I'm kinda late, but saved enough money to not have to work for at least two years, if I'm smart.

Cool, hey the maturity might help, especially with the ladies

Just make sure you do good your first year. DON'T fukk UP YOUR FIRST YEAR. It is hard to recover

 

[DrBanneker]

Not ready for this semester lol but I need to do better than I did last semester.

What happened last semester?

 

[DrBanneker]

Yeah I just started college, I'm a freshman at Hampton University.

You could perhaps go to Finance though it would be difficult. Howard U. has a much better pipeline to Wall St. etc.

I would not aim for investment banking and finance since they are shedding jobs right now and many of those firms are going to be hit hard in the next downturn. Accounting can be solid but you need to specialize. Something like forensic accounting (finding fraud) or another type of specialized accounting can get you as much money as finance

What happened last semester?

I had to drop the online stat class I had cause it was accelerated and I didn't know. It was like three or four chapters worth of shyt due every week Then I signed up for a biology class + lab online shyt was horrific and cut into my other two major course classes. I ended up with two B's and a C i think
