University/college yearbook? Should I buy it?

Question

I think most high school students buy their yearbook, but how about in university? Do most graduating seniors buy year book at a university? I know that picture taking for high school students are mandatory but it's not for a university. So I am assuming there will be lots of missing pictures. Should I take a picture and buy the year book or not? How about you? Did you buy it or planning to buy it?

Answer 1

I bought mine, but it arrived after my graduation and I didn't think it was a good value. I would double-check when it's going to be available and how much it is.

Answer 2

Most college students don't buy college yearbooks at all - maybe only the year they graduate. Unless you "do something"- or live in a dorm and make it to the dorm picture- chances are you won't be in it.

That being said, my wife bought one her Senior year (and no other year)--I never bought one.

Answer 3

I did. Total waste of money. Was it more impressive than my high school one? Sure. Still, no one signed it. College people don't do that. I didn't even know the great majority of people in it so for memories, it's not even that useful.

If you can afford it, then go ahead. If money is a little tight, I'd definitely skip it. I never looked at it after the first time I picked it up and skimmed through it.

Answer 4

Definately take the picture, it will allow you to reflect back on a huge milestone in your life. Unless you're at a SMALL university, or were a sports legend, I would skip the yearbook.

Answer 5

im graduating soon and don't plan on taking the picture or buying the yearbook.

i never liked staged photos. i think pictures should capture something "in the moment" and besides that, i don't want a book full of people i don't know or hardly talked to.

Answer 6

i would just to say i have it. if you take the picture you might as well see your face

Answer 7

take the pic and buy it
