<p>Unless you catch on quick, and you’re sharp as a scalpel, you’re going to have to work hard to succeed at any top school. If you’re looking to wing it, most top schools will do–just avoid schools that aggressively deflate grades.</p>
<p>Thread, dont die!!!</p>
<p>This is the best question ever asked. I salute your desire to chill Alexis.</p>
<p>This thread makes me lol.</p>
<p>Yes, all students at the top schools do no work and completely slack off. </p>
<p>If you’re looking to coast through college, I agree with above’s statement of finding a USNWR 75 or lower school. </p>
<p>Although, this prompts the question of:
Why are you going to school at all? If you don’t plan to make anything of it, why are you wasting the $100k-$250k that it costs? College education has practically become institutionalized in this day and age and it seems almost obligatory to most high school students. (We could get into a long discussion on the institutionalization of education and what it means and why it’s really quite unproductive, but we’ll skip all that). If you don’t plan on working in school it seems like a waste of your time, no?</p>
<p>???</p>
<p>You’ve gotten all the info there is (at least from the serious posts). There are none. Settle for a state school or community college with an easy major.</p>
<p>
You should note that this most likely won’t have a huge effect on you as an undergrad.</p>
<p><no sarcasm=“”></no></p>
<p>I’m at UChicago. UChicago is generally not seen as an ‘easy,’ ‘laid-back,’ or ‘slacker’ school.</p>
<p>Yet I manage to relax and chill. Yeah, I only took one honors class instead of two, and I might have only taken three classes last quarter rather than four, but at no point did I feel like I was working too hard. Certainly less work and less stress than I had in high school.</p>
<p>College is very different from high school. You’re going to class for far fewer hours a week; up to you to make the best of your time.</p>
<p>Go to a school that makes you happy. You’ll be able to chill wherever. </p>
<p></p>
<p>anyone???</p>
<p>You have gotten everything!!!</p>
<p>Alexis, are you seriously hoping that the person who knows of the smart prestigious school where you can not work will cough it up? It isn’t gonna happen.</p>
<p>A little proof:[ul]
[<em>]Assume there IS a prestigious slacker school.
[</em>]Graduates come out, and companies jump all over themselves to hire them because they are so smart.
[<em>]The companies realize that the graduates know nothing because they didn’t take the opportunity to learn.
[</em>]Companies talk, prestige disappears.
[/ul]</p>
<p>Let’s try again:[ul]
[<em>]Assume there IS a prestigious slacker school where the students are so INCREDIBLY smart that they know everything without needing to study.
[</em>]Graduates come out, and companies jump all over themselves to hire them because they are so smart.
[<em>]The companies continue to be happy with them because they’re so incredibly smart.
[</em>]Those of us on this list who know what this school is aren’t going to tell you because you don’t show the necessary discretion to keep their secret, and they don’t want the companies to know they’re all slackers.
