Pros of going to a top tier university:
-Courses are more interesting
-People there are more intelligent and ambitious, more interesting to talk to, better societies
-More high quality networking events, conferences, etc. making it easier to meet the right people, learn more about the latest theories and developments in various fields, learn and understand what different jobs require, get an internship/job
-You'll probably get more financial assistance
-Much easier to get a competitive job: provided you are studying something serious and not going into a specialized field of work, what employers care about academically is the reputation of the university and grades achieved

Pros of going to mid tier university:
-Lighter workload
-Maybe you enjoy Mathematics a bit more
-You can spend all your extra free time being a memelord on sci

>1. You don't have to pay 40k per year for 4 years

You also don't have to pay 40k a year if college is free, as in, if you live in a first world country. I feel bad for you people in... Zimbabwe? Are you in Zimbabwe? I can't really think of a place so backwards they still charge for education.

>2. You can learn everything the college would have taught you by just buying the text books and going through them

True, but this is not the same as having a professional judge your work. For example, I learned linear algebra on my own way before I took it on college. But then when I took it I still remember that in my first test I got a B. Why? Because even though I had already mastered the subject, it was not enough for a professional. He saw my proofs and for each minor flaw he punished. I had to rethink many things I know. But after this first failure I got A's in the rest of the tests and in the end got an A in the class. Before, I knew linear algebra. Now, I KNOW linear algebra. As in, I am actually 20 times better at linear algebra than I was before. Even thogh in his class I only saw like 3 concepts that were new for me.

Plus, if your university hosts events like presentations, panels and discussins (which every math department does probably) then you can gain a lot from networking. Just by knowing a professor in a certain field I like, I now do some minor work with him which is definitely going into my resume when I apply to grad school.

>3. Finish all the material 1 year earlier because college wastes a shit ton of time

Again, you are judging from the perspective of Zimbabwe. In first world nations universities don't waste time. I am so sorry for you.

>>8991769
>""But ... But Money isn't everything!! ""(Autistic Screeching)
So enjoy your 10k starting.

OP wanna became just like Grigori Perelman, that weird & smelly Russian Mathematician which looks like a Hobo, and won the Fields Medal. But rejected the prize & the money because He thought that
> """money and recognition isn't everything"""
>>
>>8993085
I agree with the criticisms about Perelman. Maybe he should have taken the money and the opportunity to become a famous mathematician. But you... you seem to be angry at him?

Why would a man who can live happily without money make you this angry? Why are you angry at all?

protip: I'm neither of the people that you replied to in that post and I don't care about the substance of the argument that you were having with them just now, but you sound fucking dumb in any event.

I understand what you think you're trying to say but in general, the point of education has never been, is not now, and never will be "to get a job". This is a misunderstanding by the massive horde which is obliged to learn how to move the things and tick the boxes for no other reason than that they need official proof that they know how to move the things and talk to people and tick the boxes. That's not what education really is, though.

The point of education is to get the joke.

Brainlet. When you can calculate the type of things that Leibniz, Euler etc calculated you will have the right to laugh at the calculus.
>>
>lmao at everyone here who thinks they're a genius. protip: you're not

i'm only a couple of weeks into calculus 1, and doing really well. Already past the chain rule and beyond. Quotient rule was a joke. Product rule remains my specialty.

I ask my professor his thoughts on quantum mechanics and partial derivatives. He's impressed i know about the subject. We converse after class for some time, sharing mathematical insights; i can keep up. He tells me of great things ahead like series and laplacians. I tell him i already read about series on wikipedia. He is yet again impressed at my enthusiasm. What a joy it is to have your professor visibly brighten when he learns of your talents.

And now I sit here wondering what it must be like to be a brainlet, unable to engage your professor as an intellectual peer.

All of the deep conversations you people must miss out on because you aren't able to overcome the intellectual IQ barrier that stands in the way of your academic success... it's so sad.

My professor and I know each other on first name basis now, but i call him Dr. out of respect.

And yet here you brainlets sit, probably havent even made eye contact with yours out of fear that they will gauge your brainlet IQ levels.

A true shame, but just know it is because i was born special that i am special. I can't help being a genius, nor can my professor.
