The issue is that some of us can't socialize IRL and online sites like that are our only ways to be social. :(

I'm from the USA, been here my whole life, and this shit really fucking confuses me. Until scrolling down I assumed the article was about Sweden... even the article itself doesn't specify.

Stories like this ensure that I'll never go outside past 6 PM and never venture into an urban area.

So he's still homeless I'm guessing.

Have you ever tried going back after a decade or more from graduating high school? It's not easy and you get a serious side-eye for it, plus feel out of touch with the rest of the student body still in their high school party phase. But age is beside the point, the system here sucks, and people should be allowed to learn.

Spicy opinion: there should be no "admissions". If people want to learn, let them fucking learn. It sucks because if someone fucked up in high school, they're basically ruined for life.

I know people will shout "but community colleges!!" etc. Those often don't have as many career majors and are lacking in resources. Plus no dorms so if you don't live near one and don't have decent internet, you're screwed (if they even have distance learning, many still don't).

This wouldn't be a thing if colleges would just... allow people to learn at them without charging a fortune to do so.
