Community College vs. University

"OMG this creep guy keeps staring me down!"

This is the text I received from my friend Bmanda who attends the University of Arizona. I replied to this saying, "Gross, I hate when old men stare at me." 

Bmanda then replied that he isn't old. It was then that I realized one of the major differences between a university and community college. Universities usually are comprised of "fresh out of high school" students, while community colleges are comprised of people of all ages. 

So, when choosing which school to go to, consider this:

Would you rather deal with 20 year-old creeps at a university or 20 year-old creeps AND 50+ year-old creeps at a community college?

Of course there are many other things to consider when choosing a school, such as cost, location, majors offered, class size, cleanliness of bathrooms, etc.

Here is a great site I found to help compare schools:


For those of you who have already chosen a school, what helped you to decide where to attend?

The Wonderful World of...College?

Today, I received one concerning an internship opportunity that allows you to make money, get college credit, and work at "the happiest place on Earth," DISNEYLAND! You can be anything from a photographer, to a ride operator, to a Disney princess. So, naturally, I applied for this internship. Here's the link to it:

School costs money. A lot of money. Money that I don't exactly have. 
This led me to do a search for easy ways to make money, which led me to this:
