There is no university in existence that would stop taking your money.
As an undergrad, I did all the coursework and thesis writing required for a BS in Physics and a BA in Anthropology, but my college had a policy of not granting dual degrees. For no reason I can remember, I chose the BA in Anthropology. Since I ended up as a programmer, this decision was almost meaningless, except for one job where our billable rate was dependent on our degree and there was a $15 an hour difference between a BA and a BS. This difference translated into how much I was paid, although after stewing over this for a month I threatened to quit and they upped my salary. The joke was on them anyway: it was College Physics and not University Physics!
Okay this is literally my dream if I magically had the health and money to afford this.
I had a friend who worked at a call center to harass people about student loans. They said that one the job was great because one they learned about loop holes to defer loans for as long as possible, and two they had found out about professional students that just kept going to school and didnt have to pay their loans because they would just stay another semester and live off the college loans. If you are in the US, a single person, and were never going to save for retirement anyways… it was doable 15 years ago.
But wouldn’t that mean you end up with as much debt as a small country?
Shut up Leonard, I heard about your crooked wang!
SiFI book Doorways in the sand by Roger Zelazny. Dude has a generous inheritance as long he is a full time student working toward a degree.
This makes me curious on how an any% run of university would look like. Which glitches to use in particular
Glitches as glitches, if you can cheat well, just take skill confirmation tests on every single subject and you can skip whole years
I think that’s what most people do, they get their piece of paper.
A 4.0 GPA is nice, but a bachelor’s is a bachelor’s.
Paul Erdős found an exploit in the end game. All you have to do, is collaborate with everyone you come across. It doesn’t even matter how small your role is in each paper as long as your name appears somewhere in it.
Another exploit is to start your own journal and “publish” shit-tons of your own papers. When I was in grad school I was involved in evaluating potential new professor hires. One guy’s entire CV (which was massive) consisted of papers published in journals that he was editor and founder of. He probably would have gotten away with it except that he also listed his editorship of these journals in his CV – like, we didn’t even have to do any research to expose it.
Amazingly enough his application was not immediately tossed out, and he was even flown in for an interview. That is modern Anthropology for you.
Bro did not get a degree, he got a whole rotation.
A 360° rotation
Do ChatGPT Essays count as a tool assisted speedrun?
That’s like using a mining bot in Minecraft. You just go AFK, and when you come back you have a hundred diamonds.
How do you choose when every major’s terrible? That’s the thing — you don’t. Gotta catch them all, amarite?

All sode mino quests and some of them are repetitive.
Statistics for business and statistics with actual math. Those remedial classes, like math that starts with basic arithmetics.
What a trooper to slog though all.
I would be more impress if he’d played it in god mode. Must get all As and it requires being elected president of each student organization at least once.
