Why Should I Go to a State University?
Unlike most Private Universities students don’t have to live on campus in state universities. Most rent apartments close to the university and live off campus. State University students inevitably learn how to hustle. This is because there are so so many students competing for limited resources such as Classroom space, water etc. The Campus is also pretty large so most times you could have a class ending by 10:00Am and another class by 11:00Am in a building that is far and you can’t afford to be late. You have to figure out how to get there in time.You’d definitely adjust. 100 Level will be the time to observe and learn. From 200 level you can decide to get an apartment with your course mates. By then you’d know where to hang out and where not to hang out. How to deal with difficult lecturers etc.
