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.

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.

Yes, high school straight into a 4 year college. And I'm about to graduate (in 4 years rather than the "usual" 5 or 6 years that seems to be popular at my college). I really think if I took a year off I would've taken forever to finish college (if at all). I was most productive my first 2 years of college and I've had a bit of senoritis for the last 2 years lol

I went to college right after high school.  I wish I would of finished now.  Biggest regret I have is not finishing.  I thought I could do it all.  I tried going to school full time working nights moved out of my parents house and partied between school and work ended up quiting school.

I went to college right after high school on my eighteenth birthday many years ago.  This was the first time, I was away from home.  I did the dorm thing, then got an apartment, got a part-time job at an army base, dropped out of college, went to a technical school, then got homesick and went home.  Six years later, I took college courses again at night. And finally 20 years later, I returned to school and majored in computers, graduated summa *bleep* laude w/i two years.  I also entered another scholarship IDCP program with the blessing of five professor and I completed that program this very intense program--it was gruesome!  I did all this while being a mom to two children (one that was diagnosed with MS), a wife, and working part-time.  It was very hard but very well worth it!
