I’ll be at the next OU/Texas game!

Hows it like over in Sweden?[/quote]
High school is pretty lame. Not really a lot of parties going on, can be hard to get alcohol, no school spirit, no cool sports, no cheerleaders, etc.
College in Sweden can be pretty awesome, depending on location. You have cheap liquor, nice girls, lots of activities, quite a bit of school spirit, no tuition costs, lots of foreign students, “frat houses” called nations (almost the same thing), if you want to go see Europe it’s only a car drive away (going from Sweden to Germany is like going from Texas to Oklahoma, no big deal). Basically, read the article I posted earlier in the thread. The main problem is finding a place to live and getting some income to pay the rent and food. If you can do that, then you can go to college for however long you want and do nothing but party and bang chicks. There are some legendary cases in every student city who put Van Wilder to shame, people who never left college and have been going to classes and racking up credits for like 25 years.
And THAT is why I say socialism ain’t all bad

Im impress. I can kinda see the allure of the United States but I guess as the saying goes;Grass is always greener on the other side. Currently im enrolled at an Art Institute for Web Design but im definitely going to look into going over there for an Advertising Degree. Do I have to learn your language? Will I stick out like a sore thumb considering im an Asian guy with a Texas Accent? If you come to Houston,ill show you around. I cant beilive theres no strip clubs over there. I guess nowhere is completely paradise. =/

You won’t have to learn the language, but it does help since most classes are given in Swedish, although there are quite a few English-speaking ones which are given with exchange students in mind. There’s been American/British guys in every class I’ve been in and they manage it just fine. If you are studying something where the meat of the content is language-agnostic (eg medicine or engineering) then you will be fine, but obviously if you want to take Swedish Lit then you have to know Swedish, lol. The languages aren’t THAT different really (it’s way closer than English and Spanish for instance) and you can always get a classmate to help you out. Believe it not, Americans are seen as way cool and exotic in Sweden!
You wouldn’t stick out, don’t worry about it.
Hehe, that is what I like about the Internet. You can make new friends and bond over your love for strip clubs
WOW you are in for a disillusion my friend. Anyway I always felt that the party way of life is overrated. I dont know if you ever visited North America but 99.5 % of it is UGLY

The girls’ locker rooms are definitely not like they are in the movie. No hot chicks walking around in just bras/panties. It’s mostly everyone changing clothes and trying to not look at anyone else. And showers? LOL…
We never took showers. Of course we never had a reason to. Our gym teacher was a lesbian and we pretty much didn’t do anything. I don’t remember sweating enough to take a shower.
In junior high though, which was 6th grade thru 8th grade, ages 12-14 or 11-13? Our gym teacher MADE us shower. She would sit there and she would check us off on a list as we came out of the showers. Most of us would just tug our bra straps down, hold the towel closed over our panties and pretend to shower. The guys on the other hand? OMG! They would come out of the locker rooms and you could smell them a mile away! They used SO MUCH cologne! I swear they bathed in it!

College sports fans are crazy! It’s like they go through some kind of…metamorphosis between high school and adulthood.

The reason why we used so much cologne is the same reason why you avoided the showers. Its not so much a problem nowadays,the trick is to keep yourself trim to make it look bigger. Btw,I hope every foreigner learns a valuable lesson on this thread about America,the movies LIED to you.
I went to a local community college where everybody who went to Penn State and Pitt ended up when they thought they were going to act like Van Wilder.
Some of the girls were very pretty though. Unfortunately, at my mid 30’s, they all thought I was a very cool guy for my age and wondered what class I was there to teach.
That hurt me in places I didn’t even know I had.
It’s funny that where I live is basically exactly like he has described. Everybody has guns and (most) everybody is preppy. My high school was loaded with hot girls. It was ridiculous.
High school was pretty much like “Dazed and Confused” for me if they’d used Motorhead in the soundtrack instead of Foghat.
thoughts that often run through my head-“just two more years til college, just two more years til college…”
