What do you generally think of college students?

Question

Just toss out your general thoughts about college students.

They're doing something good for themselves by getting an education and furthering their futures, that is if they choose marketable majors. You don't necessarily have to go to college to have a nice middle or upper class lifestyle but it helps, especially since a lot of jobs require a college degree. There is always trade school, the military, and entrepreneurship though.

I love college and the career I'm studying for! I hope I'm cool 😎  I'm lucky in that I qualify for the Pell Grant, so no student loans for me thankfully.

Haha456 · Answer

there are several types of college students that you would very commonly find every university:

1. privileged kids: parents pay for luxury dorms with plenty of amenities, never really working hard in school, taking it easy, well stocked with everything and anything they want that the other kids do not have: 5 deodorants that they never use, fancy clothes they never wore, uber rides whenever they want, ordering takeout every day, a new apple cell phone every year.

2. the stressed-out kid: the one who is deathly worried about not being able to secure a good job after graduation. Usually because they know their parents won't support them long after graduation. (this was me)

3. the kid who works 2 jobs: Never has enough time to hangout, attend events, make friends, network yet you wonder how they still manage to get all their homework done and pass all their exams.

4. party kid: the kid who has middle class parents working 2 jobs to send him to college, just so that he could party, play video games, no attend class and do the absolute bare minimum. He has absolutely no adult responsibilities and still literally behaves like a teenager.

5. The kid who does not know why she is there: apathetic, drags her feet, wonders why the professor doesn't like her since she doesn't do her homework. She feels no purpose being there. Parents are forcing her to be there. Doesn't want to do anything. They might look lazy and lost at times.

I'll be completely honest, and I can only speak for American college students. From my personal observations a lot of them are lazy and stupid. They seem to prioritize partying and fucking over learning. And they're so irresponsible. I had a backpacking trip in college and only one group arrived early morning. The rest of them, including mine, did not give a shit. They were stopping to eat and visit friends and were splurging on expensive food, then complaining later that they don't have money. I will never travel with a group of college kids again. I often read how they trash trails and chop down trees.

But I'm surprised how some of these people even got into college as, they're stupid. There's no sugar coating it. They're straight up stupid. I'm not sure if there are any other countries where ADHD students would get into a 4 year university. Not to mention how they're afraid to question things and just blindly believe what their told. High school has stricter standards then colleges/universities. I got a D in a required course and still got my degree. But one shouldn't be surprised when the majority of professors are also dumb as fuck and have little to no knowledge of subjects outside their field. And American schools are supposed to be the best in the country? 😂

Years ago, I would have said smartest people in the room continuing to further their education, but it is quite clear watching people around me evolve naturally with their own talents in different and unique ways, that college isn't for everyone nor should it be. There are some brilliant minds with 3 degrees, and there are equally brilliant minds with none to their name. It's all about really how you choose to successfully navigate your own talent as a student in school or of life to get the most of out it.

USLegionary · Answer

Neutral generally. I mean certainly there are kids admitted to college that are not academically fit enough and get low marks, study a degree that qualifies them for making sandwiches and are granted student loans they can never pay back. If you have a college degree what is it in and what was your grade?

petitedollbabee · Answer

Envious. I always wanted to go to college and start a career in occupational therapy, but due to various health issues getting in my way that over time caused damage to my mind, I don’t think it’s an option anymore.

Sour-rose · Answer

Good for them if the career ain't dwindling day by day. But also i feel as if they don't know the truth of college... so get ready for a ride. And no student loans, for the love of god, just don't. you'll be 76 by the time you paid those student loans.

My elder cousin says it's the best time of life especially when you get to stay in hostel with your bestie. A time when you are matured yet young, responsible yet carefree. It's like enjoying the childhood being an adult in a rejuvenating way. It's the last stage before you get exposed to the rough society. And you get to learn about life more than studies from there only.

ClassyMe · Answer

They’re being brainwashed and there is a lot of indoctrination going on (coming from a current Uni student). We’re being thought what to think and not how to think critically. A lot of bias is present especially among the administrators and you can be flunked in a snap if they don’t like you. It’s getting overrated honestly

Pinay_ako · Answer

I was once like them. I wish I was in college again 😂 best times!

RedStiletto88 · Answer

Well I went to college and it was definitely a fun an interesting experience, and I think it’s wonderful others can have that experience

menina · Answer

I was a college student twice so I would be hypocritical if I said that I don't like them or that they're being brainwashed or wasting their time and money.

So I would say it's good for them if they're doing what they want.

letuswaltzforthedead · Answer

50/50, I think a lot of them are wasting their time and money but there's some that are studying hard to better their future. There's some that are narcissistic and woke but there's others who dont care and are more apolitical.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

College students are cool but some need to put more effort into their studies and engage in fewer parties.

HaveNoName · Answer

Majority of them are simply following their dream or they are. in the process of figuring out their professional future. They need to be respected for that.
