From what I’ve seen, Winchester’s don’t have very good experiences.

  • Student: *giggles*
  • Me: Are you laughing because I stumbled over the word success, so that it sounded like I was saying sex?

17 Things You'll Only Understand If You Studied A Foreign Language At University

Beyond being able to swear, obviously

But the swearing is important.

“While claiming to offer them hope of a better life, our corporatized universities are ruining the lives of our students. This is accomplished through a two-prong tactic: you dumb down and destroy the quality of the education so that no one on campus is really learning to think, to question, to reason. Instead, they are learning to obey, to withstand “tests” and “exams”, to follow rules, to endure absurdity and abuse. The Second Prong: You make college so insanely unaffordable that only the wealthiest students from the wealthiest of families can afford to go to the school debt free.”

Austin Tops 20 Best Cities in America to be Young, Broke and Single

Now we’re talking, pardner. Bars, barbecue and all manner of rebellious rock and country musicians help “Keep Austin Weird,” as the locals say. Rents are way low, especially if you’re used to living in a big city like Chicago, Los Angeles or New York. The capital of the Lone Star State and home of the University of Texas’ flagship school, Austin has by some estimates more than 530 bars and restaurants, many of them along the 6th Street corridor. For a city of 820,000, that translates to one bar and eatery for every 1,500 people. Unemployment is also astonishingly low, at 5.1 percent in April, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. (Dallas, by comparison, is at 6.7 percent.)

Jobbing it: Could all those Austin bars and restaurants be hiring? The town goes nutty around the time of the SXSW music festival in March. Trade, transportation and utilities also employ a bulk of people, federal government statistics show.

Did you know: SXSW was one of the first mega-music festivals and still rocks after 25-plus years. In fact, it’s even gaining luster as a place for high-tech happenings, and a single showcase there can create instant buzz for any up-and-coming band (or tech startup).
