This is an article about doing well in courses, not in making friends
2 comments

Making friends is one of the most important reasons to go to college. Friends from that era of my life later hired me into excellent jobs that changed my generational wealth. About half of my friends met their life partners during college. Several of my lifelong best friends are people I met through college friends and activities.

The more career-minded might call it "networking".

Nevertheless, the article is specifically about doing well in courses.
The course I did best at in school was the one that led to a job opportunity through some friends I made.
