What I should have done, was changed my name then moved to another country, so I could get free money for a university. "Yis, life was very hard in Ozbekischezk."

We have enough of that here.

Yes I know, part of the many reasons I don't like universities or the corrupt education system.

Our university system in Aus is pretty good, we get a student loan that is entirely interest free for the first 10 years and you only have to pay it back when you start making an income.

(-5) + 8 * 1 + sqrt(4) = 5

People here get drained for their money and wind up in debt for life.

Once upon a time, long ago, in the rain of our supreme leader Gough Whitlam, university was [entirely free]

I won't bother with university. It's not worth it anymore.

Agreed ^. Now the only thing that will give you a job for being good enough are trades.

I'm still waiting for a a PM from someone, it's going to be 2 months in about 2 weeks.

You should bug that person some.

It's not nice to be ignored.

What I've found is University is much more than just a place to study, like, too many people see it that way, they just see university as a means to an end, to come out with a piece of paper that everyone else has that says you can do something. But University is so much more! It's a completely different environment than the rest of the world, in University you are getting taught and possibly working with the highest experts in the world, the smartest people only a few steps away. But even more than that, university is a place to make friends, go to their rooms and have massive LAN parties with mario kart 64. To find new people, do crazy things and enjoy life in an environment that fosters that.

  And there's the opportunities that are there for you to do, that so many people just completely ignore! Does your course have lab demonstrators, well once you've completed first year APPLY TO BE ONE, if they say "we only hire X" don't just give up, but ARGUE your case and try to become one. If you're really interested in game development and your uni has a course for it, TAKE IT, what's that? Only for third years? WHO CARES, take it anyway! I am currently a research assistant for a private research company called Quantum Electric Devices, and I'm only a second year! Granted I mainly do trivial help around the place when they need me, I still get to meet some awesome people who are absolute experts in their field!

  Uni has made me friends, given me opportunities and every time I enter campus it's like I've entered a whole new world, and too many people miss that. Too many people just see uni as a machine, a machine that takes in students, throws lectures at them and the spits out degrees. But it's so much more than that, I think, and if you can get in than I definitely would try, unless you really not interested in any of the courses.
