Axara,

"Also, if you come here as undergrad, and say you spend 7 years to complete a 4 year course, you are actually doing your folks back home a huge favour"

, you are actually doing your folks back home a huge favour"

What kind of favor are you doing to your family..you have just wasted 3 yrs of your life when your undergrads should have been completed in 4 yrs...Do you know how valuable that 3 yrs could be in your life...4yrs of undergrads..2 yrs of master...and still you have one more year...is that better-off or spending 7 yrs for 4 yrs of studies....working day and night to pay for the tuitions…dude why do we spent 7 yrs for undergrads let me highlight on that:

1.      Most of us concentrate more on earning money and mess up with the studies. Getting C and D grades in the examinations. Sometimes just taking 2 or 3 courses. I know it is hard to meet financially, but we have 4 summer breaks in 4 yrs.

2.      Give studies as a first priority rather than giving work the first priority, most of them my offend on this point, but you must balance your work and studies…as later in your life your studies matter…not your cash jobs…

And just having parties, babes will not feed you for your future...I am not against parties..as that is your age to enjoy....but look at the broader aspect of your life...which most of us really lack on....No offense but truth is always bitter.....
