Why should I stay in College?

Applying to College
1

<p>I am a freshman in college and I am so sick of the whole thing. For the last 8 weeks all Ive done is sit in useless GE classes which dont even matter in the long run while having to live with the most immature, spoiled, bunch of kids I have ever met. In all honesty, my graduating class in high school was more mature than these kids. At this point I am considering just going home and attending the community college there. Hell, Im even ready to turn my back on education entirely and just going to a trade school so that way I can start working. The whole thing is ridiculous, its just immature little kids postponing enetering the workforce as they smoke weed and listen to crappy music and I want none of it.
That all said, here is my question: can anyone provide a legitimate reason why I shouldnt just turn my back on education?</p>

<p>I think you should stay in college if for no other reason than that there are so, so many people who don’t have that privilege. You are very, very lucky whether or not you realize it. If I didn’t score as high as I did on my SAT, I wouldn’t be going to college. My family can’t even come close to affording it.</p>

<p>If you’re that miserable, transfer. But dropping out because you have a problem with something so superficial as the students who attend there - and god forbid they have other interests than you - is a slap in the face to kids who have to miss out.</p>

<p>The first semester can be hard, some of the intro classes can be boring. I would suggest you join some club and try to get involved with like-minded people.</p>

<p>Don’t do anything drastic like leaving yet. Determine what exactly is wrong here. Are you in the wrong college, is it housing, is it being away from home. Give it time, you can always transfer back to another college. It can take upto a year to get used to things, talk to other sophomores who have gone through it. I wouldn’t give up yet.</p>
