[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm foreign-born as well. What boils my blood is that some (?) colleges require freshmen to live in dorms and pay through the nose for shitty food in the cafeteria. Really? College experience? Ugh.[/quote]

+1. It's plain stupid. As is ending up with $100k+ in debt before you have any real work experience[/quote]

You are more that welcome to attend commuter colleges. Solves all those problems.[/quote]

True, except that most of those conmuter colleges are not top-notch quality, so you'd be better served attending any great public university in Canada or Europe, at very reasonable rates.[/quote]
This has not been my experience at all. I went to a 4-year school that was 80% commuter and I came out extremely prepared to work in my field (computer science). I found a job immediately upon graduation at a high salary for an entry level position. I worked right along with other recent graduates from highly rated private schools earning exactly what I was earning (except I didn't have loans to pay). The trick to my success was making sure I earned job experience any chance I had over the summer and winter breaks. The school was instrumental in helping to place students in internships. That job experience before graduation is the true key to success, not the name of the school. Nobody cares if you drove to school or not.[/quote]

What school did you go to? Sounds like you made a great choice![/quote]
