1) What is the point of going away to a university if you don' know what you want to do?

2) Are all roomates annoying or crazy? Can you pick yours?

3) Can you still finish your pre requsities, or is it better to do those at a community college?

4) do bad grades like Cs or Ds transfer on pre reqs? I was told colleges pay attention to people who re do classes to get better grades, which is the case with me and math classes.

5) Should someone go if they don't have direction? its not the army you don't have to be there...

that's all I can think of.

I've got a boring ass signature. just the way i like it.

2. If you get lucky, you can hit it off with your roommate, but it really all depends on luck. Some can be awesome, some can be crazy as fuck.

3. It depends on what sort of college experience you want. Community college is much cheaper, but it's not the same atmosphere as a real time university.  

4. I believe that they do show up - but if it ever gets to that point, withdraw from the class by deadline instead of actually getting a D in a class if you can.

5. If you are serious about getting an education and going somewhere in life, then yes, you should. Even if you don't know what you want to do RIGHT NOW. There are so many people like you out there at college.

Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

2)Some schools allow you to file dorm applications with friends, some do not. If you have a total psycho roomate, your dorm advisor could switch you.

3.) Most pre-req require you have them before going on. If you are going to a university, I would suggest taking all of your pre req classes there. Teachers do so many things differently. If you take all the classes at the same place, chances are you won't miss anything, the teachers will know you, and you are more comfortable. However, taking them at community college first saves time and is probably easy.

4) It may be different at your school, but at my school a D does not transfer as a passing grade. I got out of Algebra with a D and have to retake it.

5)I totally recommend college. I hate high school. I had no idea what I wanted to do. High school- they teach you WHAT to think. College- they teach you HOW to think. I started out just wanting to get a degree in theater, an after 2 years, I want a law degree. The more classes you take, the more choices you have. If you go an find you don't like it, you can leave at any point. Like you said, it's not like the army. The only problem would be if you have financial aid. That may cause some problems.

Hope I helped. You can message me if you need anything =D.

One Line Can Change A Story.So Sometimes Let the Line Just Be Unsaid.

So, unless you have a lot of money and time don't just take random gen eds like I did.  I listened to people who told me to take gene eds for the first 2 years b/c it didn't matter and got screwed because now I'll be at least one year behind in any major because my gen eds are all over the place.  Take a semester of different classes and see if you like any, then make a decision, no matter what.

Life is a waste of time, time is a waste of life. So get wasted all of the
time and have the time of your life.

Well if you don't go to college what are you going to do? Do you have a job lined up?
