<p>i want to know everything</p>

22

<p>Get away from home.</p>

23

<p>To pick up chicks!</p>

24

<p>I think my reason for going to college may be expressed best with song lyrics:</p>

<p>"Anywhere I go a fly girl will please me
East to west college girls are easy"</p>

25

<p>..... And I'm sure them "east to west college girls" would be happy to have you pay attention to them, PavelB</p>

<p>For me, to get away from home to an environment I can freely express my opinions and ideas without having culture or religion swallow me, bash me up and spit me out.</p>

26

<p>Sex...</p>

<p>Hey DRAB "I didn't go to college and check me out, I'm kickass!"</p>

28

<p>Jack Black is so amazing. I'm not sure if he went to college, but he did go to a prestigious little cool high school in LA. That guy is so talented.</p>

29

<p>-get somewhere in life/get a good job that I will enjoy :)
-educational experiences & opportunities that I wouldn't be able to at home
-meet new people & see new things!</p>

<p>DRab,</p>

<p>Jack Black went to UCLA, but left before graduating.</p>

31

<p>my friend was in school of rock w/ jack black</p>

32

<p>He was in TFT at UCLA. I have read that he partied too much at UCLA and i think the fact that ucla alum tim robbins got him his start contributed to him leaving ucla.</p>

<p>If you like jack black, check out tenacious d if you haven't already, they are releasing a movie due out late 2006</p>

33

<p>Sweet. I didn't know about the movie. Thanks.</p>

34

<p>I'm going to college in order to be more educated, to associate with educated people, and to learn things that i can put into use after college.</p>

35

<p>I go to college because I genuinely enjoy torturing myself. Guess what I'm taking? Yup, engineering. In all seriousness, and in an ideal world, one should go to college purely because of passions and interests to learn more, and one's thirst of higher education. But this is not the case most of the times.</p>

36

<p>I really love to learn and work hard. that is why I am going to st. john's college in santa fe</p>

37

<p>also, i could use an excuse to be around other people like me. i just can't find many people in arkansas that i can relate with...
it's kind of funny really</p>

38

<p>I'm a sheep and I followed the herd?</p>

39

<p>To avoid real life, of course.</p>

<p>-get away from home
-perhaps learn something
-make more money than my mom does :]</p>
