I will say that I didn’t have very many friends those two years… :p

But darn if it wasn’t the most gorgeous place I’ve ever lived. -sigh-

I will say that DH is going back to school because being the dude who can fix the things gets you only so far in corporate America – eventually you need the paper. But will he step foot in a physical college? It is to laugh.

Likewise, the smart kids who see a need for the paper are getting a clue and doing concurrent enrollment at Junior Colleges while they’re in HS (I will be pesking my son to do this). This is FREE college credit, for the cost of books (not free once you’re out of HS, but free if you’re in HS). You can then be out of a four-year college in two, wandering around with your BA at 20. And so many classes are online… my son is doing HS about half online (he wants the socialization, thus “half”).

No fuss. No muss. No dealing with crazy rules, no paying for exorbitant housing costs and bad food.

All the reward, none of the cost. And this is what everyone seems to be doing these days – why wouldn’t you?

Oh, okay. UC Santa Cruz *was* jaw-droppingly gorgeous. But I guess you could just go to the redwoods and hang out for a month instead with the money and time you save. 😉

You survived UC Santa Cruz? Wow. I’m impressed.
