Fucking loved all of it. College, university, post graduate, and doctorate. Had zero responsibilities, and was young, dumb and full of shit. Went to some great universities as well. I was very lucky. Did it all at a time when we weren’t saddled with huge debt.

Not much. I commuted, so it ended up being basically an extension of high school, just with fancier facilities in a more exciting area of the city. I also found the comp sci curriculum to be an uninteresting and outdated slog, for the most part. My degree got me my job right after graduation and I still have it all these years later, so it wasn't all bad.

I enjoyed it too.

But looking back, for sake of saving money I commuted so I slogged it over an hour each way for my undergrad. So it was a pain and I missed out on so much more fun with my friends who stay on residence or found shared apartments to rent out. While they partied and watched Jerry Springer shows together, I joined them all for laughs driving down on Fridays and weekends. Then in the summers or after graduation, we'd still get together and do road trips together. A great trip we had was a buddies GF who we took her shitty Hyundai to the US. Shit car and she was a shit driver too. lol

If i could do it over, I'd pay for campus living and just pay off a bigger student loan.

Looking back, it's amazing how easy the content was but at the time every kid is freaking out. Then again I took business programs which are easy to pass. I'll guess science, engineering, and medicine is a different story. You hear tons of people dropping out of those programs.
