I'm glad I didn't go to college, so I don't have to give any money out of guilt to a place which wastes so much of it on landscaping and sports.

That's what I saw when I visited more privileged friends at Universities, anyway.

I'd really rather give money directly to someone that needs it than to a dysfunctional organization (and they are pretty much all dysfunctional). I wish that was actually feasible.

But in the meantime I am trying in my own little way, by advising current students, interviewing applicants and also coaching students back home in similar position as I was by helping them with their applications and SATs
