When else but college do you get to live like that? I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't get to have a college experience like mine.

This! Only as a woman. I stunningly got a bid from a top tier sorority. It was at a huge SEC school. It was a great group and I have very close friends from there 45 years later.

We had endless parties and dances with great looking guys. Home football weekends were the best.

My program was/ is one of the best in the country. It was hard work but I loved it. walked right out of college into a job offer at one of top 50 or so forms in the country.

I have had a good life since then, but nothing compares to that level of freedom and fun.

I just want everyone to note this. Things are not what they were half a century ago.

I don't really get this. Where do you people go in your young adult like? Football games were fun, but not as fun as traveling though Europe and Asia. Not as fun as first job with money and nights out every night.

People who peak in college are like the people who peak in HS.

No one is talking about peaking in college and no not the best four years but I would much rather be in college going to games than travelling through Europe and Asia.

Sometimes it’s hard to accept that everyone is different, but damn this comment just baffles me.

Ditto.

That's a shame. Because it really was grand back then.
