I guess it worked because I got a student grant, stayed home with my parents, never drank or took drugs, never played any sports and didn't have any girlfriends.

I got into college straight out of high school at 16 and graduated at 20. I guess it worked because I got a student grant, stayed home with my parents, never drank or took drugs, never played any sports and didn't have any girlfriends.

I guess UK in the late 60's early 70's was a lot easier; I did a joint Electrical & Electronic eng B.Sc. in 3 years and had girlfriends/parties etc. Having a full government grant helped! We all used to get course fees free and a comfortable living allowance. (unless your parents had LOTS of money)
My son now costs a lot to put through Uni. Students in England are now (on average) graduating with really large debts- what a shitty way to start life/career!

For college sports, its only worth it if you get a scholarship and/or are up for a draft into the pros. Playing ball for "fun" really is a bad idea. I was up to earn a scholarship, and had conenctions with pro teams, but found that life can get difficult FAST, and being poor is no fun!I decided i had better put all my effort into EE, as it was a sure means of a future. There was one player who graduated EE on the team with a 4.0 and was a major player. He also was a genius(really he was).
Id say aside from being a genius, GFs, partying, and sports will all come together to kill ya!You may get by with just one of those.(I chose a GF ) And about 4 years later am still trying to recover from it all...(Girls will ALWAYS bring you crap, so id just assume do EE strickly by itself but im too far gone now[whipped?] hehehe).
Some things you DO need to think about doing are clubs and internships. My school has no clubs for what i like to do, and the only EE club is for african americans(excludes me). Matt
