Is college really "the best years of your life"?

In your opinion do you find that college is or was the best years of your life?

I personally went to college for 2 years and hated it. I do want to go back but I can definitely say personally that I did not enjoy college.

No. I like college, but the best years of my life were when I was in the military.

Nope. It was high school. College was somewhat bad because of all the money being siphoned to paying your tuition. Which was financially speaking a scam.

First few years, yes. It's pretty good so far. It's even better when you are not worried financially.funsohng

The only plus I had when I went is my tuition was paid for. I just had to pay for books and labs.

It was for me. I loved it. I hope to go back some day.

Well, it is the start of your "freedom". You can do almost anything your parents didn't want you to do. Now, if you went to community college, it would probably feel like High School v2 because most people just go to class and go home. (unless you find a community college with housing) To many people that might be the most exciting couple of years they have going for them. Because when you get a job it will decrease a bit (amount of free time).MistressMinako

but i am an evil capitalist that is only out to help as many people as i can.;)

I hope not. I'm not particularly enjoying it currently.

It depends on what your major is. Going to school 6 days a week including Spring Break to work on senior project was NOT fun lol.

I really hope not.

If high school really is the supposed "best years of your life", then I might as well just shoot myself now.

No, not really. For me it was kind of a mistake because I messed around and essentially just meandered in the beginning. If knew now what I knew then I could have saved myself time and money had I taken it more seriously.

Of course I'll be happy when I do graduate in a week, knowing I didn't quit when I came pretty close to doing so.

I liked college, but it most certainly was not the best years of my life.

I'm not in college but I dont really see how childhood can be topped. Most kids don't have a care in the world and can have fun doing just about anything, the further you go in life the more issues you have to deal with.

Can be, it all depends on how you live it

I wouldnt say it was the best years of my life. Just part.

It's definitely not the best time if you go to community college... I think it might be though if you're going to a party school and you're not worrying about classes at all. It's like childhood but even more freedom

If high school/college was really as good as it gets, I'd blow my brains out.

for me, high school>>>>>>>>> college

Are we talking about college that comes after school, or university? You Americans have an awful system. :P

yep college days are the best days and right now i am living that dream

I would hope that it's better than the life I've lived so far, which has been on the crappy side.

In my humble opinion, if anyone, while looking back from an age of say, 50, looks back and considers college the best years of their life......... I'd feel very sorry for them.

I only went for four months, but no, it was definitely not the best time of my life. The only upside was that got to see a glimpse of how it'd feel to get high in my house (in this case, dorm) whenever I want.

The first two years were. The last two have been really dry and boring, I can't wait to finish for good in a few weeks.

I've been enrolled for 2 years and I absolutely hate it. I was my hs valedictorian, but I'm tanking in college. I'm not partying or anything; I just find my classes are completely pointless and I'm wasting money...
