TOPIC: Lucasxpogba tries to pick a college (or not to go)

The cliff's:
-Accepted into UMichigan (not into their Ross business school though, which was my plan A)
-Accepted into UVirginia (but didn't pay the $300 deposit to save my place, so it probably doesn't matter now)
-Waitlisted in Columbia (NYC), pending decision
-Applied at TSE (Toulouse School of Economics), pending decision. Will probably get in because it is public (although it is good, there's a nobel prize teacher). It is the only French university where I applied.
-I could keep working at my KFC and saving €500 a month (just including this for completeness; you never know )

I am trying to choose a place where I can get laid and where I can get some headstart in trying to be wealthy when I am older. Really, I am looking for a place to get laid plenty, but without it hurting my future $$ and if possible helping it $$ (if those two are even actual possibilities that "a good college education" brings).

If I go to the States, I will depend on my father economically. My worry is not debt, there is no problem in that sense; my worry is that he is very bossy/authoritative and likes to be constantly getting in your business. Basically, I will be subjected to his control, which derives from his financial control.

If I get accepted here in France, there is "alll kindzzz" of welfare state willing to feed my ass while I finish college and I won't depend on my father. I could get a degree in something useful (economics?), be smart and graduate, work for some bank and slowly figure my life out.

Just looking for some anecdotes, comments, anything really.

For some reason, I suspect I resemble something of a younger version of you @BiB; shit, I don't know why but I have a gut feeling you even went to University of Michigan (the only college that is an actual option right now for me after I didn't pay the deposit for UVI, which had also accepted me)

We are pretty similar, although in my situation it was my mom instead of my dad, and UCLA instead of Michigan.

They’re both big public universities though.

Also yeah, I went in as an economics major. I had a very bright academic future ahead of me, before I fucked it up by never going to class and getting drunk all the time.

In my case, business ended up being my calling.

Did you end by dropping from college? What did you do after college?

Damn, I am the only person that can take my decision, but I need some guidance.

If you won't get in debt go for it 100%

The rave right now in some circles including red pill is that college sucks and is good for nothing and I agree to an extent ( if you get a liberal arts degree for example and get yourself 100,000 or more in debt it's not wise to say the least)

BUT if you pursue an actual useful degree like engineering or law to name just a couple AND specially in your case without a single $ in debt do it for sure.

I was in a similar situation, my dad ( who is very controlling as well) paid for my degree at the cost of being his bitch basically since I was completely dependent financially on him and I don't even practice in my field (law) anymore ...

BUT (and this is a big but)

With age (I'm 28) I finally realized what a true gift it was from him to pay for a higher education. Why? Because I know that whatever shit outcome happens in my financial life (multiple business failures, becoming a broke ass, etc) I WILL ALWAYS HAVE MY DEGREE AND THE ABILITY TO PURSUE THAT CAREER CHOICE AT ANY AGE.

Basically, even if my financial life has a worst case scenario I will not have to be a 40 year old waiter or barista or whatnot (not that there is anything inherentl wrong with that btw) I can always go back and restart my lawyer career (sure I will be way behind in comparison to people my age but that is not the point at all)

Now a caveat, this may not be as huge of a deal in a first world country since you can get a decent paying job and even make serious money in a few months-years time in careers like construction and similar jobs (ej. Andy and his tile job), but in Mexico (where I live) those are the worst paid jobs and the working conditions are below subpar as you prob know being from Colombia.

1) Go to Columbia if you get accepted, if not Michigan.
2) Major in Computer Science (Do an MBA if you want to do business later). You will be set for life if you do halfway decent. I can get you a 6 figure salary very easily if you do what I say.
3) University of Virginia is third. It's a party college, and there's a gigantic greek life.
4) Profit and Pussy

I feel you. Thanks for the elaborate answer. Tbh, if Columbia accepts me Im pretty sure I'm going (NYC for cold approach plus a "powerful" college diploma); I do lose my freedom, but it is well compensated. But I hesitate with Michigan; is the greek life (i.e. the pussy) worth the lost of my independence? Their diploma is not as good as Columbia's. Also, the successful greek life (i.e. success with pussy) is not a "given"--it is something I might not have.

Btw, I am european and could stay in Europe with no major problem.

Hey, Lucas, you should have received a PM from me.

If you get into Columbia it's not even a question
I posted in your other thread

Pussy is something you can figure out easily in a few years if you aren't retarded and/or physically deformed

+ It's MUCH easier if you have money (speaking from personal experience)

Thanks. I start to agree–if it's Columbia I am the hell outta here. Btw, why do you recommend not doing cold approaches in college?

Columbia: very good college + at least some greek life (hopefully) + tons of approaches in NYC

Michigan: makes me doubt. Not as good a college + greek life (it should be decent, big state school) + few approaches (<21 per week, as per your recommendation of not approaching/rarely approaching as a college student in campus)

France: good college (not same prestige as Columbia though) + no "official" greek life, but a lot of socialization/partying + some approaches, but I've been doing that shit for 2 months and no sucess whatsoever + I'm alone financially

I've thought I can just go to the States; if for some reason I don't like it, I come back to France. It would be easier than doing the opposite because of the difficult admissions process in the US.

Btw, how does money play into this and more lays? And if cold approaching, would it make a difference?
