I am a junior in college majoring in Business and I feel like I haven't learned much at all. I never got a C in any class and I feel like if I would've gone to a better school like NYU or Columbia, I would be saying the opposite. Is that right? I want to hear from those that are currently going to an Ivy league school and tell me how you feel about college.

i think the problem may be that you havent really embraced the college experience (no, not beer die). At the college level, you are expected to take your education into your own hands--its a responsibility thing ? Are ya getting me here?
If you are not challenged by the classes you are taking and are displeased by that, whose responsibility is it? It is not you advisors. It's not mom and dads. It's not your roommates. Take a class that you normally would not. Try photography, comparative religion, psychology, philosophy, SOMETHING that will lead you to your passion. I have a question for you---did YOU choose to major in business or did someone just say hey do this, you'll make lots of money???? If someone led you to it honey, believe me, it isnt worth it. Go find something that you absolutely love and tell the rest to go screw. Go forth and find your passion

I don't agree at all. If you're not learning anything at your school, why not transfer? Maybe since you're a junior (if that means finishing your junior year now going to be a senior) it might not be worth it, but if you're not learning anything, why bother paying those professors? College is expensive, and any good school is challenging. Another thing to consider is the types of classes/teachers you're taking. Are you purposely picking the "easy" teachers? Try to set yourself up for a challenge with the harder ones.
Honestly, if college isn't challenging you, you're either a genius or being ripped off.

I'm sorry you're having a bad experience, but part of getting something out of school is what you put into it. Are you just taking the easiest classes possible, or are you challenging yourself? Are you involved in projects and activities outside the classroom, like competitions or independent research projects, which would supplement your learning? I find that the best students often have a far better experience than do the average ones (I don't mean to imply that you are average), because they seek out the additional pieces to make their educations complete. I've also seen the resumes of students who won national scholarships, and none of them stopped with the learning they got in the classroom. They all sought out LOTS of extra experiences as part of college.
