TOHIGHSCHOOLGUY: Don’t you know? A real college means you actually want to get a real job. We all learned in the Coffee Room that working is only a b’dieved, and isn’t nearly as good as living off of your in-laws. That’s the problem.
Ok, I used up my sarcasm for the day.
Here are some advantages of going to a college besides for Touro:
You’d get a real education. Touro is a joke.
It’s a lot cheaper. Tuition in Brooklyn College runs about $2,500 per semester, if I recall correctly. Touro runs about $6,000.
Touro doesn’t have much of a job placement office. After you graduate, you’re really on your own. Other colleges have a much better program to set you up with interviews and contacts.
