I started college the summer I graduated high school. If I hadn't started right away, I might never have gone.

Yes. I flunked out. Got a job in a factory and hated that. Then one day after work I went to the USMC recruiter and signed up on the spot to be a Marine. I don't regret anything.

Yes I did. Dropped out after the first year. Went back 3 years later and just finished in December!

I went to one of the "new-Ivies" to get my degree in chemical engineering, and I graduate in 3 weeks. I just interviewed yesterday with a pharmaceutical company. Hopefully I get the job!:thumbsup: :-)

I went to a Community College right after high school and then switched over to a 4 year university. Saves money.

I went to college right after high school, stayed one year before flunking out, went to a community college, then went to a 4 year state to get my BA, then went to vo-tech for another diploma....and finally landed at a private college for my dance and musical theater degrees 6 years later.  can you tell I'm a lover of learning, or at least very much into exploring everything, lololol?

I went to college right after high school and graduated in five years, the last year was only needed because of schedule issues which really messed me up. So far, this so called higher education really was a big waste of time and money.

Yep, saw no reason to "take a year off" or anything like that.

I went to college the fall after I graduated from High School. I got married the fall after I graduated from college.
