		<description>Taken sign language and maybe a little comp-sci. Gotten my comp-sci geek friends to help me learn new stuff after our D&amp;D sessions.

More D&amp;D? ;)

Internship...but then I saved a lot of money by not having a car, and most internships would have required cars given where my school was. Still, maybe a summer internship somewhere like DC?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m also in with the study abroad.  College is the best time for living abroad, learning languages and having lots of travel sex, drugs and music.  I spent an internship abroad, but I wish I had spent a year or two.

I wish I would have spent more time cultivating relationships with mentors. Now I want a mentor, but they are harder to come by.

I am so glad I didn&#039;t take out loans.  Scholarships and some campus work was much better than going to a more expensive school only to be socked with limiting debt.

If I had had more sex, I wouldn&#039;t have passed.  I got that one just right.</description>

		<description>- I would have went to a different school. I did go to a prestigious, private university, but it sucked balls (in both the good and bad ways).

- I would have picked a major that allowed me to a) study abroad or b) work an internship senior year. My undergrad degree is in Math, and my school had nothing in place for Math grads except graduate school. No study abroad programs or anything.

- I probably would not have majored in Math. I mean, I&#039;m good at it, and I graduated near the top of my class in it, but I have no interest in the careers its catered towards (teaching, statistics, actuarial work, risk analysis, etc.). I was always more involved and invested in writing, so I think I should&#039;ve majored in English.</description>

		<description>As a future law student I say poo to you. People can find any reason to be depress and off themselves. I&#039;m sure there&#039;s a stat for tech people too.

And Miami is a party town, but I wouldn&#039;t call it a big liberal city or gay mecca. You&#039;ll quickly realize that your dating options are severely limited.


If I had to do college over again I would have never become a RA, worked out more, and joined the alpha male fraternity.</description>

		<description>I’m a few years older than you, so I’ve had much more time to ponder this question, lol.

If I could do college over I’d
-Definitely have more sex (and with women this time)
-Transfer to a large state university (instead of staying at the small, private, expensive one)
-Take Spanish instead of French
-Have a job off campus all four years (it increases my productivity).
-Study abroad
-Apply to graduate school right away (I didn’t have a plan B, and my dream job didn’t pan out at first)

Things that I wouldn’t change
-The wide variety of classes that I took.  I changed my major 4 times, leaving me with 2 minors and a major (Philosophy) I wouldn’t have discovered had I not been forced to take that Intro class.
-That I started at that small, private, expensive school.  I needed the attention that my professors gave me, and I met the most amazing group of people.</description>
