Tips for College please?

Name: Anonymous 2008-06-22 13:29

Hello /sci/ I am an aspiring "want to do lots of shit"-fag. I want to study mathematics, physics, astronomy, creative writing, and computer programming. But deciding a major won't be the hard part. The hard part for me is getting into college in the first place.

I have been raised in a shithole town next to the Navajo Reservation and have been led up in my life thinking that I was intelligent and clever. I can write well for the most part, but I no longer believe that. So I don't know if I can rightly get into college, entrance exams or no. I'm a good test taker, but I don't have a lot of common sense.

So for all you guys in college, what information precisely did you need to sign up in all the trips you went to register for classes? Because I cannot drive to my college, I'd have to walk there over the course of half a day. I want to have all my shit together when I go.

I'd also like to know any handy scholarships or loan places that would help pay for college or for housing either on campus or nearby.

Common sense is unnecessary, but doing well on entrance exams is quite important.  It might be a good idea to first take the SATs to see how you're doing.  Getting into a good college is quite challenging, but I've heard it's easy to get into a crappy one.

I registered for all my classes online; I'm pretty sure your school allows that too.  Given that you can access /sci/, this is probably the most convenient way.

If he's native American, he also has a few avenues open.

At least in my case, it only takes a few upper division classes to figure out I was completely incompetent in EE.  Yay for physix and a lifetime of unemployment!
