One of my biggest regrets is not studying in an American university. Don’t get me wrong I had fun in uni too, made good memories, great friends etc. But the college life in the US just feels so much more varied. On my way to work I see students heading to class with skateboards, coffee in hand, talking about projects, clubs, weekend trips, or something they’re passionate about. Many of them couples holding hands with their cute gfs. Back home, college was more like a full-time job assignments, labs, exams, internal, external, viva, quiz, suprise tests etc. My college did not have attendance policy so that somewhat helped it but the workload was still insane. We technically had free time but you need army like discpline to get things done and also have free time for extra curriculars which to be fair some people includinf myself learned to manage but still it was too hectic. In the US it seems like they get to live a more balanced life, where academics, hobbies, and personal growth all matter. That’s the part I feel I missed. I was just was an endless grind in college. All I did was hardwork there was barely enough time for relationships and fun stuff in STEM. The ones that did engage in that stuff did it it at the expense of their grades almost always.
