College is the best... Staying up late all night, parties, girls, too many things to mention.

Endless Studying: 4 classes a day; you can work together on homework; you have time for a job and a ton of extracurriculars All-Nighters: Coffee helps. So do friends Midterms: Should've started studying earlier Paying for books: That's your parents, in most peoples' cases Looking for parking: Bike; most people do

Those "four classes a day" might not all be sooo easy. If you're a full-time student, it's difficult to have a stable job and participate in extra curricular activities. People who are already working on their major can't afford to do badly in their classes. It's even advised not to work while taking up certain classes. People should put their school before other activities. 2. Not everyone in college loves to drink coffee. Also, coffee and energy drinks don't even work for me. My friends and I aren't even taking all the same classes. And they have other things to do rather than trying to keep people awake. 3. Obviously, people study early for midterms and finals. It's just the anxiety of taking the actual exams and knowing that some of the exams are worth 50% of your grade. 4. For those students paying their books with their parent's money, that sucks for the parents. For the students who pay for their own books, it sucks for the students. Who the hell likes paying for books in the first place? 5. Not every college student lives in dorms and apartments ten minutes away from school. Some people choose to not live in those places, so they end up driving to school. Not only is parking tedious, but it's also gas being used up going to school and back. And for some of the other unlucky students who actually take the bus or train, takes way too much time.

Dorms and apartments were always available close to the school. Tuition included books (oftentimes, not always).
