That wonderful thing we call college. - Page 2

I am currently attending St. Petersburg College in Florida. My major is in Graphic Design and I am going for 2 seprate associates degrees in print design and multimedia design. It is taking me a while to complete both of these degrees, but I am in no rush to get finished, since i enjoy taking all the graphic design classes.

EDIT: The numbers given out by UNC-Chapel Hill, where I attend, show that for the 2003-2004 academic year, the total cost for a NC resident is $13,088 and for an out-of-state resident it is $25,436. UNC-Chapel Hill also requires that all incoming freshman have a personal laptop computer, which will add another $1500-$2500. Knowledge is power, and it don't come cheap.

Holy ****!

The funny thing is, that the fees at my university were just raised from 120€ (140$) to 170€ (200$) and we had huge protest campaigns against it here since education isn't supposed to cost anything. God bless Germany...
So could anyone tell me about the fees in the UK?

Yer english is crappy? You must know the language well enough, if I didnt know you were from Germany, I'd just assume you were a native speaker. And don't get to down on yerself about it either. English is probably the most f***ed up language there is with all it's idiocyncrocies (I'm SURE I spelled that wrong) and exceptions to rules. You speak English (or at least type it) better than some people who live in English-Speaking countries.

Anyways, I'm at Oakton Community College myself. Not doing that well, but I need to go here to keep my job on the Tech Crew here. In fact, I'm supposed to be in class right now. -=Shrugs=-

Let's see, I'm a 17 year old at a community college (Sante Fe Community College), and I live with my mom, but we're looking for places for me to get a place of my own.

I'm going to have my AA Degree when I'm 18, which is cool! And I'm attending SFCC for two years to transfer to the University of Florida, or maybe Florida State University. I'm majoring in Electric Engineering.

And best thing is, some hours ago, I came home from my last final exam. Now my term is over!!! YEYS!

*Mars-Chan* · 04-29-2004, 12:26 PM

Yay on the exams being over!

Thank you! (You wouldn't say these things if you knew that I never visit the forums without a dictionary

)
Anyway, what I meant was that my English is still not as good as an English teacher's should be. That's why I want to spend some time abroad, especially to learn to speak better. I guess I'll go to the UK since American colleges seem to be a bit too expensive for me.

**Barkworm** · 04-29-2004, 11:51 PM

I learned French for six ****ing years of my life, my marks were always god/very good but I always hated the language. Now I have forgotten about 90% of the stuff I learned. What a waste of time...
