Sleep and Grades. My social life here sucks because I'm a long way away from my university/school friends.

I've got the Escapist to cover the social life.

Well Grades are the first and foremost, due to the fact that, over here in GB anyway, you're paying around £3000 a year to study, plus (maybe) an additional £3000 or so to live. If you come out with nothing, even if you had fun, the money is pretty much wasted. In all fairness, the point of uni (or college) is to come out with a degree.

I would say social life is the second most important. You need to socialise. Yes, you do need to sleep...but at the same time I think I'm slowly becoming nocturnal. I still manage to get up for 9 o'clock lectures, but if I have the day off I usually sleep until about 1pm, and then do something in the evening/night. Maybe that will change when the weather gets better....

I picked sex, drugs and rock and roll, and failed out of college twice before I finally got my shit together.

Just make sure one of your choices is grades.

Okay If I'm not mistaken that means roughly $10,000 which if you're going to an out of state university here in the states is actually cheaper than most schools. Still that's a lot of scratch to piss away.
If you go to school In the state you claim residence it's all over the board the costs. Around here it's about $9,000 .

I and my twin brother paid our own way thru school by working full time and mooching off various girlfriends.

I picked social life and grades. I think it's working out for me because my first semester at UoG resulted in an 81% average and I've made a few new friends + a lot of acquaintances.

Sleep and grades, welcome to engineering.
Most definitely agreed. Although even though I pretty much threw out the social life my grades are kinda iffy. Engineering can be hard at times.

Sleep and grades, due to complications with family I'm used to not getting out much. I much prefer to be lost in a game or a book than being out 24/7, the real world is o' so tiresome and horrid.

Also I actually enjoy education.

I go off to university soon, and judging by the content of my 'social life' right now, it's probably going to be the exact same thing as grades by the time I meet more people with common interests.
I don't like loud music, meaningless sex, or alcohol, anyway. So I'd hate having was I'm taught is the 'average' university social life.
