Everyone is on their labtop during class, and professors know it. Here's some advice, get a gaming laptop, one of those alienware's, because frankly class is a waste of time.

The only thing you do is look at girls and dream about living in a chocolate factory. So, get a gaming labtop or take online courses, and college would be much better.

In my three years at uni, I've never seen anyone using a laptop in the middle of a lecture. It must be an American thing. Pen & paper all the way for me.

Lectures are kind of a waste of time, when you're in a really big class (freshman, sophomore). If you read the texts and do the course work, lectures are largely unimportant...if you know the course material, you'll do fine on your exams regardless of whether you attend lectures or not. The only lectures I found useful were in small classes, where you were able to actually exchange dialogue with other classmates and professors...you'll see more of this once you claim your major and enter your junior year.

I dont even bring my laptop to school. Afraid someone will see it and shoot me for it. Thats NYC for ya. The professors rarely get the class involved and most dont pay attention at all. I also notice in large classes, no one is socializing. People just get up and go without knowing anyone. In small classes theres group work or w/e and its more fun and interesting.

class isn't a waste of time. punks who don't take college seriously and play videogames on their computer during class while their daddy's pay for all their expenses are a waste of time. Go ahead and look at all the girls you want, but get used to looking at your hand cause you won't be getting any of them with your 1337 warcraft skills

"Your mom goes to college!" - that's all I can think about when someone says "college". "University" makes more sense to me. Anyway, IDK bout your Uni but at mine we're always paying attention in lectures and seminars.

If you think college is a joke, the place your going must suck, no offense. Yes, there are people who play there laptops/ditch/don't play attention, but there are also people(the majority in fact) that actually go to class, takes notes, pay attention, well at least where i go. In college you're expected to have some level of responsibility; whether you choose to learn or slack off. Ill tell you this much, if i didn't go to the majority of my classes, and didn't pay attention, I would be failing.

And what was the ranking based off? Most of the these "rankings" are based off money brought into the school by the professor's research and publications; this is not a very good indication of the level of education provided by the school.

How about you drop out of the community college and go to a real school. For my first two years of college it was at a CC and it seemed like half the kids in my class was like that. And when I'm in the library studying for a test they're the ones coming to me asking questions about class. That's a lot of $ to drop on an hour of gaming. Thank god I moved on to a well-respected University.

Let me guess, you go to some Community College (College for Screw-Ups, basically).

 

Here's a tip:  Don't act like a rebel and try to skim through college. It'll come back and bite you in the a$$ in the future. 

 

One of the biggests regrets I have was not taking interest in my classes the first time I went to college. I basically flunked all my courses, wasted a year of my life, and had to start all over again.

Depends on what courses your taking in college. I know that kids who only take the high school requirement of a foreign language, need to take more in college. However, if you're studying something important, I would suggest not playing around.

My question to you is why would you even bother to show up to class if you aren't going to pay any attention? Since you are so intelligent and already know everything being taught, why are you putting in extra effort and wasting time by bringing yourself, along with your gaming laptop, to class?

depends what college. since you actually have to physically pay for college, i really hate it when i see kids not taking it seriously, especially when they're not even the ones paying for their education.
