It sounds like I should read it but i'm a bit scared of my little sibling finding out my reading preferences like last time :worry:

You should add Manga like The Family Zoo to the reading list so if he ever dares looking into your reading preferences again, he's gonna be in it for a surprise.

It's not THAT bad. They're more of the "We don't support it but we respect it" type. They don't really talk about it that much, but when they do, it's quite annoying. I am planning to move to a college dorm once I graduate, though. College debt be dammed.
Just don't take any loans out for it. No matter what, its always a scam. And get the basics done at a community college too. Also be careful any fraternity or sorority business and remember any sort of hazing is likely illegal wherever you live.

Is this enough pestering to be annoying or shall I continue? :02:

No, I got mine paid off before I hit 40, so I feel reasonably good about that. But I also went through college when it was considerably cheaper than it would be today.
At that point just learn German and migrate to Germany, public universities are free there. I guess one only learns those tricks when they're past university time... (which means you can still move and study a second degree).

If I wasn't such a coward, I would recommend him Goodnight Punpun.
Fuck that, make a list named secret and put both mizuryu kei lands in there.

That'll put the fear of the devil in him.

Or don't if you happen to be a minor. Cause I should not recommend that to you if you are.

The American college model is pretty screwed up - I don't want to get too far down this road, since it starts veering into politics, but like a lot of things here, various groups have figured out how to line their pockets on the backs of the consumers (in this case, students).

I have no particular interest in pursuing a graduate degree at this point, since I'm not working in my major field (music) and have no desire to. For any topic within that field I may be curious about, I can get a text and work through it myself.

Well, everything in life (including art) is political, so the mods themselves are screwed. Back to topic, here public unis are not free (unless you get honours/are an elite sportist) but on average they cost one month of minimal wage (full-time). This is one reason why working adults get degrees even if they don't need them for work, and there are even university courses that are meant for middle-aged/retired people who want to know more but without reaching a degree level (and extremely affordable).
