*Less* than two grand a year? That's what it costs in Canadian dollars for McGill.

How do you know?  Why would things be more expensive in California?  The only state I know of that is more expensive in general is Hawaii, and that is becuase it is far away from everything.

As for people being too poor to go to college, actually most of them can go to community college for an AA or AS, but that is it.  You have to have like, a shit load of money to go to regular college.  College in California is like every where else in the US, it is just COMMUNITY college that is really cheap.  Some high school graduate move here just for the cheap community college.

nah, i just have an obsession with math, so that is what i focus on when i think about anything school related. when i say i have an obsession, i mean that i have learned everything from my highschool that they had to offer--in the first two years of being in highschool. i have had to venture into AP courses/independant studies to keep myself occupied....i won't bore you by going any further into details

Thats great that you like math, although it sounds like you want a big fancy education more then anything else.  do you even know what you want to do with your life?  I have known many people who are obsessed with going to the best college then can get too, just to waste lots and lots of money on quarters changing majors all the time just to figure out what they want to do with their life.  It really is a waste.

actually...yes. i do.

i'm going to spend 4 years or less getting a math degree and my pre-med requirements to take...oh i forget the name of it...the medical tests of some sort... so that i can get into med school and eventually work in a hospital. i've been volunteering at my local hospital as well as shadowing various employees (including doctors, nurses, also people in the hospital lab doing tests on samples taken from pacients. going to watch them perform an mir sometime...all kinds of stuff). at least this is my current plan. it could change within the next 9 years

it doesn't, at least not directly.

(note: math is used in the medical feild...trig and some calculus can apply)

basically, before going to medical school i need to get a degree in _something_. it does not matter what, so what i am doing is gaining as much college credit as i can during highschool so i don't have to spend as much money while i'm in undergraduate school, so i can get to medical school faster  

once i graduate (assuming everything goes as planned) i should have half my degree. this is one reason why i don't understand why people can have such a hard time getting into/ getting through college. by taking many AP cources and CHS courses, i am gaining college credit by only paying $74 per AP test and ~$100 per CHS class. If i take enough of these, i can eliminate one or two YEARS of college, which can make college easily affordable (note: medical school will such, but at least college will be cheap(er)). Also, AP courses are available NATIONWIDE, and there is even a similar international program. i'm not sure about the widespreed availability of CHS courses, so, eh.

the point is...to get a 4-year degree in something, nothing is requiring you to pay for 4 years of tuition. there are other, cheaper means of aquireing the number of credits required.

I'm so happy for bush.  Because he brought back nazism I can rape any woman and child that I please and call it patriotic and liberation.

Sure their lies and the jews were making up all that hitler shit right?
