Default Finished college in one Y E A R

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...1901779_2.html

"His college education, almost entirely covered by a patchwork of scholarships, cost him about $200. And he sold back textbooks for more than that. Now he"s starting graduate study at U-Va. with a research grant.

So at this point, he"s technically running a profit.

He"s upending two trends: Most students take longer to graduate than you might think -- about two-thirds of freshmen at four-year colleges in Virginia manage to finish within six years. And tuition gets more expensive every year."

or not. i bet he's more well-rounded than you might think.

i also don't believe that learning at a rapid rate has really anything to do with growing up too fast.

extremely impressive either way.

damn, that's freaking awsome. But then again, he's right about the part that he had more time in college than in HS. I finish my 174 credit hours Degree in 3 years (9 semesters) and I was able to work full time (40hrs/week) and play on the weekend.

I agree with Reno. Honestly, I don't think he missed out that much. I didn't have a stereotyped college life (night parties, binge drinking, etc) but I sure socialized a lot (working on cars, clubbings, meetings, travels).

That kid sure has a future.
