About this video
If you spend four years locked in a library and walk out with nothing but a diploma, you wasted the most valuable part of the experience.
College is one of the only times in your life where you’re surrounded by thousands of ambitious people, world-class professors, and opportunities that don’t exist anywhere else.
I wouldn’t have been able to build Ultimate Ivy League Guide…or end up in rooms with the CEO of DoorDash, the founder of OpenAI, and the former CEO of Google…
…if all I did was study.
So yes, study hard. But also go to the events. Join the random club. Talk to the person next to you in class. Ask questions. Pitch ideas.
TLDR the real return of investment of college is never the degree, but it’s who you become and who you meet along the way.
