Young people don't think about your future. They think that youth is endless and the last thing it should be spent is education. Only then one understands that time is lost. Do not make the mistakes of others and learn now. Then you will be sorry.

Yes, you should go to college. If you want to be a educated person you have to go college. In college life we get huge opportunity to show your ability.
I believe that in today's world you can do without college. Now there are many young people who, with the help of the Internet, start earning even more at school than their parents.
yes off course you can go to college. I think study has no age. there is many opportunity to a degree holders. I have a uncle he is 45 years old he also go to college now because he knows the importance of study.
That story was inspiring. Going to college is not necessary but still you have a big advantage in this world if you learned from college courses you want. College still the best part of being a student as in this stage we are all struggling but still happy because of our real friends who helps us in our problems.

Pursuing your studies is one of the treasures you can have. As you finish and get your college diploma, you yourself and your parents would be proud of you reaching that far! So GO AND PURSUE YOUR DREAMS!
You have to, because if you are a degree holder theres a lot of chance that you will get a good job. You have to exprience college life, because you will learn more in here. Just pick the right course that will fit on your personality and skills.
You don't really have much choice. Society puts premium on educated people who have finished a degree and they get to be first chosen for jobs. You'd be left out if you're trying to enter a corporate work without having a diploma. Whether you like it or not, better get that college degree.

Going to college is a very very good idea, I am advising every young one to please endevour to attend college
Well, depends in which country you live. Generally, i know a lot of successful people and they didn't finish any college. Today simply, they going to ask you what do you do best? No one care about your degree. Show us what can you do and make some money.
I would say yes. Of course financial aspects is important. But you just need to ask yourself, what you want to be for your future career? That make a big decision whether to go to college or not. If you want to be a doctor or engineer, there is no choice, you need to have some kind of qualification.

Going to college is never a wrong choice. Just make sure that you're going to pick the right course. Pick something that is within your interest and hobbies.
Yes. Well you never know what is going to happen. It is an amazing adventure and experience for life even if you do not manage to finish the college. You meet new people and you try new stuff.
You should definitely go to college. There's so still much more to learn after elementary and high school. At this state you will have more opportunity to know yourself better and also you'll gain more experiences that will be helpful to you. Going to college gives you advantages in many aspects of life
In order to decide to leave in an institution for higher education, you need to set goals and achieve them. It seems to me that a person needs to have a starting primary education, and everything else a person should study for a personal perspective.

I'm not sure if this has been suggested yet and the thread is too long to check.
But have you considered studying abroad? In Germany the living cost is lower than in the US, and the tuition fees are less than $200 per semester. The education is generally better than what you would get at a US college as well. When I talked to friends who study MINT subjects at US Colleges I was quite shocked to find out how much time they waste on very basic garbage (several semesters) that we take out in around a week or less.
Depending on your field of study I would either go abroad for a degree or forfeit a US-based degree entirely. A lot of tech jobs can be reached by doing Nano-degrees on sites such as Udacity. Those are far cheaper and far better preparations for jobs in the tech industry.
The ideal route would be a degree abroad, supplemented with one or more Nanodegrees. US colleges are definitely overpriced and offer very little value in terms of teaching. Unless money is literally a no-brainer for you, avoid the US at all cost regardless of field of study.

There is no tuition fee anymore (there was for around 3(?) years but people got pretty mad and it was abolished). What you pay are social fees that amount to around 200-250€ per semester depending on university (free use of public transport, eating for a reduced price in the mensa etc pp).
The US basic education is the problem.
For a proper comparison with the german education system you have to look at ivy schools (similar to german gymnasium).
The education base of german, austrian, swiss "gymnasiast" are just superior to that of us americans (non ivy school) that is why german universities teach differently.
And Ivy Schools are way too expensive to really hold a candle to German universities. There are really only two or three cases in which an Ivy League tuition is objectively better than one at a German university. Namely getting a full scholarship, simply not caring about money, or not wanting to study abroad no matter what.
I've had access to the study materials in Cambridge, and we've done the exact same things at my university. The only bonuses are the prestige and perhaps networking, which in most cases won't offset the high tuition fees (in my opinion).
In west germany the social fees are usually around 250 €. You are probaly studying in east germany or maybe you get a discount as a foreign student?
I just wanted to say that quality-wise ivy league schools are atleast on par with german universities.
You are definitely right about the absurd expenses for these colleges.
And yes, Ivy League education itself is definitely among the top as well. It's just hard to justify the price tags given the options.
You are a lucky one with 160 € or the prices got cheaper over the time.
For example in Aachen the fee is ~260€ but overall compared to abroad it is really nothing.
Good education + very low fees + rather low living expenses makes germany a very awesome location to get a higher education especially right now while germanys needs new educated workers.
Btw tuition fee of ivy league school per semester: 10.000-20.000 $
German average tuition fee per semester: 200 €
And yeah, I'm aware of the ivy league fees, they're insane even by international standards.
I've checked out a lot of schools, including in the US, Japan, UK, and decided that it simply wasn't worth it. You can go to all of those schools for an exchange semester or two with a full scholarship and get the best of both worlds that way. Takes some effort to reach the required grades, but still better than going hundreds of thousands into debt for a degree.
There are very few degrees that will pay that debt off in a reasonable amount of time and even those can be gotten much cheaper elsewhere.
