[quote=Anonymous]No- not the best years of my life. Raised by a single mother and poor I got into a good private college with a financial aid package that included loans. I had a difficult major, work-study, and no strong family support. Many rich kids- drinking-hooking up. Hated my freshman dorm experience. I had good friends in college but I was always stressed. I tried the party scene for a while and look back now and think how the culture at my school was not really me. I get alumni brochures all the time and I can't believe they are charging $65,000 + a year. I think kids work so hard to get into college they think once they get there it will be paradise and it is not. The drinking culture at college is out of control. I agree with posters that most people are not happy 50% of time. The best years of my life were after college when I could finally support myself, get a cute little apartment, meet new people from all over, got married, had babies. I recently had cancer so right now has been the worst time in my life. I think life is up and down for everyone. Some people just have an easier life and other people have more struggles. Maybe she should seriously rethink the premed track. [/quote]
