It's because we were all working 30 hours a week on top of our 40 hour degrees because otherwise we wouldn't be able to live. This helps neutralise the student population- the most powerful of the protest groups.

Kun Suomi putos puusta kävi kaikki kovin äkkiä.. Vaikka ei se sinällään Alangon laulun kanssa mitään tee. Tyhmää ja typerää silti.

It's kinda sad that I knew that this is the reason. :/

There's no money in bank robbery anymore. Most of the thieves make off with less than a thousand dollars. Jewel theft is a much better choice, but you need a good fence.

Alternatively, instead of robbing a bank, you get a good spot to keep an eye on what's happening inside, and then hold up someone after they make a withdrawal. Much less security to deal with, and you're likely to do about as well.

Edit: Bank robbery is more fun though, but you have to dress snappy, and get a soundtrack done by Otis Taylor.

A year of college (Fall and Spring, not counting if I decide at some point to do Summer classes) costs between $7000-$7500 at the University of Arkansas. If I was an student from out-of-state, I'd double the tuition.

Hopefully I'll be able to get one of my state's new lottery scholarships and more Pell Grants next year instead of nothing but Loans like my freshman and sophomore years.

In fact, I need to get my taxes filed and all that other good stuff so I can apply for some damn scholarships.

I LIKE throwing away money.
 

To be fair I"m not sure what other school around here would be so well equipped for the art majors. Art(well specific kinds of art) isn't something that any school with a book could do well in teaching you, you have to get hands-on-experience with the proper equipment. I.E. I'm going into animation and my school provides a full modern animation studio experience, complete with fancy motion capture stuff and.... stuff that I don't even understand yet XD, as well as being up to date on the (super expensive) latest programs that all of the major companies are using. Not to mention this quality of facilities for pretty much any field of art you could want to go into.

Anyway I've been here for awhile now, switching now wouldn't be worth it. :sweatdrop

Yes. It's handled provincially in Ontario for the most part, so if you need loans you go through OSAP, and if you're coming from high school, you get automatic Ontario scholarships based on your grades. Between the two, it's impossible to not go to college.


My word though, Canada doesn't even have close to free college. It's just much cheaper than the US, overall.

Two years is a long time when you're already so sick of school you could throw up just thinking about it. I think the money I'd make with a bachelor's would be enough to get me the lifestyle I'm looking for, so why go through the pain. Meh.

Well, I'm paying ~$10,000 (I think it's more like $9,000 because I got a scholarship from my entrance exam) tuition right now for just high school.

And the colleges I'm looking at have yearly tuitions of ~$12,000 (I think?), ~$30,000, and ~$50,000 (oh, joy).

Yep, I'm going to be paying off student loans for the rest of my life unless I land one of the big scholarships I've applied for.
