What University Life Used to Look Like

These great photos made their way to us this morning, and we thought our international readers would enjoy seeing them. Looking through them I don’t see a big difference – people are having fun, groups of students are enjoying their college time together. Granted, everyone is dressed nicely and for some reason appear to be well over the age of 18, but looking through them I see student life as it is today.

College life may look different today, with Uggs, sweatpants, and phones glued to everyone’s ears, but at the end its still about education, friendships, networks, and more than just classes.

Enjoy!

Those are great photos; I esp like the wardrobes. Of course you could not help but notice the lack of diversity on campus.

I love these! Thanks for posting. Too bad contemporary college life looks little like this--fashion these days can't compete.

Sometimes I forget this and get too caught up feeling "out of style" (I'm thinking of going back to college, I'm not college-age). It really is about the learning, making friends and contacts, etc...

And I'm sure most people don't care about that other stuff too much... especially those I'd want to get to know.

True to that Paul, it's all about learning but sometimes it's also about the time element.
If you still want to continue college, pursue it. No one else will do it for you!
Just a piece of advice.

Cheers,
Daniel
