[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see any appeal or advantage to attending a large public university as an undergrad. The competition is fierce in the intro courses, you don't get direct interaction with professors, you could easily disappear for a few days or a week and nobody would notice, you could flunk out and nobody would care, etc....

Other than fun football games in the fall semester, what's the appeal?

You're never going to get forthright responses on a forum full of middle class strivers. The truth is they lack sophistication, can't afford private tuition, and their average kids couldn't get into any top private colleges which would kick them some financial aid. And also, many of their kids frankly don't give a damn about the learning and instruction aspects of college, they just want to go binge drink, tailgate, and be promiscuous messes for four (or five or six) years.[/quote]

+1.  It's the "striver" poster.  Only one person uses that idiotic term on here.  Everyone going to college is striving for something.  To berate that is just ignorance.[/quote]
