haven't you yourself, in many places, on multiple occasions, recommended your nation's 'excellent' state university system as a perfectly good alternative to expensive, private, ivy league education? now you spit on state colleges because they don't have 'out of state' students?

rutgers is ranked very respectably, especially in comparison to your own calibre of education.

lmao jay. scrabble more.

yeah, princeton has nothing on suny maritime.

isn't rutgers one of the oldest colleges in the united states?

What a boon to the diploma mill universities of New Jersey!

Rutgers > SUNY Maritime College. No one here ever even heard of the place you went to before we met you.

Rutgers is a diploma mill for New Jersey's shitty suburban kids that couldn't get into any other school. What's the out of state percentage of the population? 2% tops?

Rutgers NB is an internationally ranked research university. It's also one of a handful of colonial colleges.

Thats true of most of America.

jay’s affectations are clear for everyone to see here. i can’t imagine how that snooty national review ‘jay f. buckley’ WASP persona goes down when he’s around his family and old friends.

I spit on Rutgers because Jersey is trash.

You grew up white trash. Like your entire life story is how you pulled yourself up from a white trash upbringing to getting an overpriced house in some declining suburb. Way to go. Who even does that? Who makes an identity narrative for themselves?

I grew up middle class. Sure, there were a few lean years after my parents split, but I never went hungry or had the power shut off. I definitely grew up in a nicer place than Bayonne.

Keeping the lights on and not going hungry are low bars to clear and don't make you middle class. Middle class families don't have custodians as the main bread winners. Middle class families don't send their kids to private schools on pity scholarships.

Oh man. That really hurts. You got me.

if you grew up middle-class, why did you have to go into the military and use the GI bill to find a career and get an education?

I didn't have to, I chose to. I was already in college for a year before I joined, studying computer science.

You dropped out when you got "pneumonia", didn't you?

so you chose to take a federal handout, not even out of necessity, i.e. what the program is designed for, but merely to take advantage of a good deal.

and now you insult people who are in support of federal support of any kind?

how perfectly petit-bourgeois.

What federal handout? The GI Bill? You mean I used the employment bonus that was offered to me in order to recruit me? I mean how dare I. How dare I trade 4 1/2 years of my 20s making way less than minimum wage for free tuition at a state university. There's a lot of things to criticize me for but you guys always focus on the most easily defensible stuff. OMFG, GUYS, HE USED HIS GI BILL TO GO TO COLLEGE AFTER VOLUNTEERING FOR MILITARY SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So dumb.

you do realize every regular middle-class person normally 'trades' their college education for 20-25 years' worth of debt, right? why are you complaining about a few years of looking after a server farm in iraq?

the fact is that middle-class college students are far more financially responsible than you. they want an education, they finance it. you relied on the state to subsidize yours. and then you, alone of all college graduates here, i might add, are against federal assistance.

you are quite a self-deluded person.

Why didn't you just power through it and finish? It's basically just the flu.

jay, encouraging 20-somethings to stop being pussies and contract covid-19, dropped out of college because of pneumonia. you cannot make this shit up.
