“You can’t learn to write in college. It’s a very bad place for writers because the teachers always think they know more than you do—and they don’t. They have prejudices. They may like Henry James, but what if you don’t want to write like Henry James? They may like John Irving, for instance, who’s th…”— Ray Bradbury, books.google.com
“Some people get an education without going to college. The rest get it after they get out.”— Mark Twain, books.google.com
“High school parties exhausted me because I always felt like I was the only thinking person in a room mostly full of morons obliterating precious IQ points with every gulp of whatever booze they managed to steal out of their parents' liquor cabinets. College parties are exhausting in a diametrically…”— Megan McCafferty, amazon.com
“I imagine that one of the biggest troubles with colleges is there are too many distractions, too much panty-raiding, fraternities, and boola-boola and all of that.”— Malcolm X, amazon.com
“But in college, we can wear our alcohol abuse as proudly as our university sweatshirts; the two concepts are virtually synonymous.”— Koren Zailckas, amazon.com
“Usually when you ask somebody in college why they are there, they'll tell you it's to get an education. The truth of it is, they are there to get the degree so that they can get ahead in the rat race. Too many college radicals are two-timing punks. The only reason you should be in college is to dest…”— Abbie Hoffman, amazon.com
“But if you tell folks you're a college student, folks are so impressed. You can be a student in anything and not have to know anything. Just say toxicology or marine biokinesis, and the person you're talking to will change the subject to himself. If this doesn't work, mention the neural synapses of…”— Chuck Palahniuk, amazon.com
“Every year, many, many stupid people graduate from college. And if they can do it, so can you.”— John Green, books.google.com
“You have four years to be irresponsible here, relax. Work is for people with jobs. You'll never remember class time, but you'll remember the time you wasted hanging out with your friends. So stay out late. Go out with your friends on a Tuesday when you have a paper due on Wednesday. Spend money you…”— Tom Petty, amazon.com
“If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.”— Frank Zappa, books.google.com
“There is no reason the federal government should profit from student loans. This only makes an already difficult problem worse. The Federal Student Loan Program turned a $ 41.3 billion profit in 2013. These student loans are probably one of the only things that the government shouldn’t make money fr…”— Donald Trump, amazon.com
“When I speak at a college, the students surround me and ask me two questions: First, can I give or get them a job? And second, what can we do about their loans? They haven’t even graduated from school, they haven’t yet started working, and already they’ve mortgaged their future.”— Donald Trump, amazon.com
“My father succeeded without a college degree, but that would be much harder to do today. According to the Census Bureau, people with a bachelor’s degree earn an average of $ 51,000 a year. That’s $ 23,000 more a year than people with just high school diplomas and almost three times as much as high s…”— Donald Trump, amazon.com
“It takes more passion to choose, on your own, to build a website, a mobile application, or a company than to follow years of instructions to get a degree. A GPA is not a strong indicator of passion, except for the dubious motivations of wanting to find the right answer to other people’s questions. D…”— Scott Berkun, amazon.com
