Did you enjoy college?

As I've lived at home with my parents entire college experience, sometimes I feel like I'm still in high school with moments of adulthood thrown in for good measure.
First two years at junior college: Ambivalent, felt like 13th and 14th grade mostly.
One year at University of Houston-Main Campus: Hated it. That campus sucks.
One year (and counting) at University of Houston-Clear Lake: Enjoying it, but not exactly living it up over here.
I go to one of the few universities in America where people in their 30s outnumber people in their 20s, and most of those women are married, unfortunately. Hard to get women there for sure.
A part of me regrets not moving out and going to college far away, but the part of me that has zero loans to pay up later loves it. Also, it wasn't til last year that I really had focus in what I wanted to do anyway.

honestly, after doing community (locking myself in a tiny room at all times I don't have class) college, transferring to a University, getting ****ed with on the credits, majoring in music, having the music department **** with my academia as far as making my credits work, practically starting over on my college experience because of ****ty teachers, and living with guidos, gangsters, and Jazz snobs, and hearing continuous BS from girls who think suddenly because they have a ****ing life that every guy that asks them out has none, and they need to be treated like little princesses rather than the *****es they are, YEA, I've had somewhat of a good college experience. I've met ****-heads for the most part, but there's usually a diamond in the rough or two for friends.....I should be graduating in January, so there's another plus, and girls? still a crappy deal but I'm working things out.
So if I could do it again, would I? I donno, how about I get a clone to do my GE's and Lessons as well? THEN I'd consider it.

Its had its ups and downs, but I really wish I could have afforded an out of state college. Mizzou is nice, but the women are pretty shallow and everybody else are pretty much tools.
I'm in my second year, but I'm enjoying it immensely. Freshman year was kinda crazy, but this year's more chill and I've made leaps and bounds as a musician. Classical saxophone is FUN.
My only concern is that even though I'm at a school that's really rising fast in status, it still won't be prestigious enough to get me into a law school that I want (my first choice is Duke).

College was a blast but it was a lot of hard work too.
It kind of balances out. It was definitely a fun and rewarding experience.
Toward the end, I couldn't wait to get out of college -- probably because
I wanted to start making money.
Today, however, I would give my left nut to be back there.

I had a BLAST!!!...I had the pleasure of going to college in daytona beach....and me and a couple friends had rented a house 4 blocks away from the beach and 4 houses away from main street(where bike week and biketoberfest goes down every year) for the last 2 1/2 years of college I'm still amazed that i ever graduated college seeing as how i cant remember the last 2 years of it...lol
. Now im married and have 2 kids....sometimes i wish i were back in college and have no more responsibilities...
. Now im married and have 2 kids....sometimes i wish i were back in college and have no more responsibilities...Academically I enjoyed college. I worked hard spent a lot of hours studying. I ended up with first class honours in each of my qualifications and was offered a job a week after I finished my degree. However I went to a local college. Ended up living at home for the duration of it. Didn't make any life long friends, my classes were tiny and my classmates more like colleagues(I'm not socially inept it's just the way things turned out). I didn't go out and get trashed too much or do all the other college madness that comes with the territory.
Even though right now I'm doing better than a lot of my friends who travelled away to college went nuts had a hell of a time and ended up with half assed degrees or simply ended up dropping out, I have always felt that I missed out on a huge part of life.
