A suggestion had been made to me looking toward a professorship in some Western college, but after due consideration, I declined to consider the matter.

When I wrestled in College, my team was very good.

I always wished I had a chance to meet an NFL player or even a college player when I was growing up in Los Angeles.

Being 5′ 10, I was supposed to be too short to play college volleyball. So that gave me the hunger and the fire to say, Oh yeah? I’d just hit the crap out of the...

What are the purposes of examinations anyhow? Are they to increase our educational attainment? Or are they instruments used to bring suffering and humiliation and deep hurt to a person who is trying so hard...

I’ve had a couple schools talk to me, but I’ve not decided on a specific college yet. I definitely want to keep playing.

AVERT DISASTER, in fact, would have been a perfect school motto—the purpose of the place, as far as Schwartz could tell, was to keep three thousand would-be maniacs sedated by boredom until a succession of...

Lecture’s over.

The chance that you will become a master in something after the first attempt is neither here nor there. You don’t get master’s degree by attending school on the first day! Time will tell, so...

My first few films were institutional comedies, and you’re on pretty safe ground when you’re dealing with an institution that vast numbers of people have experienced: college, summer camp, the military, the country club.

I ate so many Ramen noodles that I wouldn’t even touch a package of them now.

When I was in high school and college, my other real focus was, actually, fiction writing. So in college, I had done all these seminars with these various writers-in-residence.

I imagine that one of the biggest troubles with colleges is there are too many distractions, too much panty-raiding, fraternities, and boola-boola and all of that.

If I had known how much I would miss these sensations I might have experienced them differently, recognized their shabby glamour, respected the ticking clock that defined this entire experience. I would have put aside...

No. No, you can’t.

That’s not going to pay a mortgage, send your child to college and help someone get their life back on track.

But I know I didn’t love school for school’s sake. I had never really been what people call an ‘academic’ person, nor did I see myself becoming one. Instead, I took pleasure in the fact...

High school parties exhausted me because I always felt like I was the only thinking person in a room mostly full of morons obliterating precious IQ points with every gulp of whatever booze they managed...

I’d compare college tuition to paying for a personal trainer at an athletic club. We professors play the roles of trainers, giving people access to the equipment (books, labs, our expertise) and after that, it...

Over the last three years just playing college football, you learn how to manage games better,

He’s cut college funding every year . . . and (then) in an election year, he promises $90 million he doesn’t have.

He’s as good a nose guard as I’ve seen in college football. For him not to be mentioned up there with the best football players in the country is crazy to me. He dominated everybody...

The habit of looking at life as a social relation — an affair of society — did no good. It cultivated a weakness which needed no cultivation. If it had helped to make men of...

He’s just so creative in practice. He’s one of the fastest, if not the fastest guy in college hockey. He’s just got such a good sense of awareness and hockey sense. You’ve got to realize...

I think some kids will get to college and realize it might be good to be here for two years or three. It’s a good rule. I think it will prove to be beneficial to...

For me, because I’ve been working out since I graduated college, I have to mix it up. But it’s not just working out for health’s sake; it’s also a whole mindset for me. Yoga is...

Fully 57 percent of American college students are women. Life insurance companies sell more policies to women than to men. As women continue to draw on experience and education, they’re accelerating their numbers in upper...

I love you, Skye. You’re in my heart, in my head, under my skin. You’re my present and my future.
