    Acedemic success, or social life.

    As a university student, the pressure to acheive acedemic success is enormous, espcially when you are starting you first year. I not taking people who never comes to class, but still manage to get a 4.10 GPA in the course, but people who work really really hard to get their A, those that stay up until 2 am, and are half-awake of the day. If you had to make a choice between a 4.0 GPA, completely isolating youself, or a 2.0, and risk being expel, but is still the life of the party.

    Ahhh isnt that the million £/$ question. Uni is all about finding the balance between work and social life....

    If you wanted a black and white answer i would say academic, as you are at uni to learn, youve paid for your degree, so why waste it.

    Sure you can have the party of your life, but what happends when you get expelled and all your friends graduate and get jobs...

    that is hard to answer
    i need a social life
    but i MUST focus on school work

    so i would say 75% school work
    with occasional play on the side

    really shows that those asian parents of ours really taught us well

    I had voted but I suddenly realised that your question is ambigous! Do you want to vote for :-

    1) sacrifice academic OR
    2) academic

    i think i could manage to do both or be somewhere in the middle.. but if i needed to choose... i'd like the grades since it is a greater accomplishment.

    The poll was a bit confusing. The thread starter should've made it "which one would you choose over the other?" and not "which one would you sacrifice?"
    I bet many idiots here would just chose the one they would rather have, instead of which one they'd SACRIFICE.

    Hmm, we have more people who chose Academic Success (those who replied) yet, the poll appears that they'd rather sacrifice Academic Success over the party life.

    definitely academic. i'm a student so i'm too poor to party anyways. get the degree, get the job, make the money then party all i want! AND u have a 4 month summer vacation, so u can party till u go nuts during that time.
