Funny

College signs in dorms are the perfect place to learn that everyone who is as equally selfish as you are won't treat you like your parents did when you lived at home. Your flatmates, roommates, dormmates, RAs, and floormates aren't your parents and don't care about your space anymore than you care about theirs. <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/funny-college-football-fan-signs/whitneysmoore?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Funny college signs</a> adorn the halls as much as you would expect them to in a building full of people looking out for themselves and slowly learning that common courtesy isn't the norm as much as doing as much as you can get away with is. All these passive-aggressive college notes and even notes from teachers are what happen when you trap people, many of whom are even *shiver* single children, in a giant complex built out of inadequate carpeting and RULES.&nbsp;These are the best, most memorable, and funniest college dorm signs the internet has to offer. From ones you've seen a million times to the passive aggressive notes you've missed throughout the years because you have a semblance of a life and need to pay attention at work occasionally.&nbsp;My favorites are the ones written by people who have very hard &quot;rules&quot; that cannot UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE VIOLATED. Some reasonable, some absolutely ridiculous, reading these should either give you a great idea about what you can't do if you live in college, what to do if someone is messing with you in your dorms, or it should do what it did for me and just make you super happy that you're an actual adult and not in college anymore.&nbsp;Now, some of you may have roommates like these, and some of the notes may serve as solutions for you. For those of you with that predicament, I hope that you will move somewhere better soon.Stay strong, and try never to be &quot;one of those people&quot; who leaves horrible, threatening, spiteful, vengeful, or aggressive university notes on people's walls. Even anonymously. You're better than that. Which is why this list is so awesome. Enjoy.&nbsp;

College students all over the world are familiar with the campus flyer.&nbsp;College is full of traditions, but none are more time-honored&nbsp;than campus&nbsp;flyers. It's where you can find anything. Even in this Internet day and age, students still love leaving posters around campus offering services, inviting people to parties, and looking for lost pets. Why? No one knows. It's just one of those traditions that has survived the test of time. The campus community board is like baseball. Yes. It's just like baseball.&nbsp;Take a moment from your busy day of working in the real world and come flyer away with this awesome and definitive&nbsp;collection of funny campus flyers.

A list of the worst college majors that are most unlikely to result in gainful post-graduate employment. Join the other rankers who've shared their opinions of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/useless-anime-side-characters/crystal-brackett?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the most useless</a> college degrees that will poorly prepare you for job market. Are they the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/stupidest-college-courses/samantha-dillinger?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">dumbest college majors</a>? Not necessarily! Peace Studies sound pretty hopeful for the world. Are they fun majors to study? French food qualifies! The downside is that on the overall list of college majors, they happen to be the most difficult to find a well paying job.&nbsp;Often, when students first enter a community college or four-year university program, they're encouraged to pursue a course of study that most interests them. They're not thinking about whether their passion is considered as one of the worst majors. The idea is that they will first become dedicated to, and excited about, learning something, and then they'll eventually figure out how to apply their interests towards pursuing a career. And ideally it will be one of the most useful majors.&nbsp;But the economy is unpredictable, and jobs for recent grads from liberal arts majors aren't often plentiful. So this philosophy is being reconsidered (as is studying Philosophy in general!). Yes, Philosophy usually ranks among the worst college degrees. Graduating with a degree in a humanities subject deemed as &quot;useless&quot; can be a real detriment to finding work, even as newly minted electrical engineers and computer developers get snatched up quickly by startups and tech companies.This list provides some insight into the majors seen as &quot;most useless&quot; by the public at large. Vote for the departments you'd be least likely to join on your nearest campus, and if we've missed a major you think is utterly without merit, add it <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/things-found-at-the-bottom-of-lakes/christopher-shultz?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">at the bottom</a> of the page. But just don't call college useless overall. Coursework in fields like science and math continue to be more directly hirable among the list of college majors.&nbsp;

Pranks

If you didn't involve yourself in any college pranks while you were at whichever middle-college, university, trade school, or community college you attended, then you missed out. College dorm room pranks are some of the greatest institutions we have to honor every year at our actual institutions of higher learning. There aren't as many dorm pranks as there used to be because supervision is A LOT tighter now that everyone knows where everyone is all the time. If there's one thing that the Internet and smartphones have done, it's increasing accountability for dumb people's actions, but hey, college exists. Kids do stupid stuff.&nbsp;So in honor of the beginning of the university-going season and to give people some great, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/funny-pranks-to-use-on-friends/ashley-reign?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">funny prank ideas</a> for college, here are some of the best dorm room pranks the Internet has ever seen.&nbsp;Upvote the college dorm pranks that would impress you if they <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/creepiest-things-that-can-happen-at-home-stories/elise?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">happened to you</a> and downvote the trivial ones.&nbsp;

Real Genius

Any true college student should watch each of these college movies at least once. However we recommend watching each movie several times in order to be able to quote them on command. Some are so classic they're being made into musicals. These are the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-top-dream-colleges?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best college</a> movies ever and they feature things that every college student would understand: booze, ditching class and chasing the opposite sex. These are movies every college student should see at least once. If you are out of college and you miss it, these films about college life may just transport you back to your student days. These are the best college movies ever.What is your favorite university film?&nbsp;Also be sure to see Ranker's list of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/all-college-movies-or-list-of-college-movies/all-genre-movies-lists">All College Movies</a>.

College

The stupidest college courses are the wackiest, most rudimentary, and oddest college courses actually taught at respected universities. From the things that you really should already know how to do, like getting dressed - something you can learn at a Princeton University course - to learning how to argue with television personality Judge Judy - like offered by the University of California, Berkeley - these real college courses teach skills that exactly zero employers look for in prospective job candidates.

So if that advanced calculus or macroeconomics class you&#39;re taking is just too mainstream for you, head over and try one of these silly&nbsp;college courses. You never know when skills like street-fighting mathematics or the joy of garbage will come in handy.

Madison

List of the best college towns and cities. These locations provide not just a great university giving students a world-class education, but also a fun and diverse environment that'd conducive to learning, building a community and personal network and, more generally, gaining life experience. (There's also some fun places to party in most of them. You know, if any college students you know are into that sort of thing.)A college town can refer to any area where the population is considerably impacted, or even dominated, by a local college or university. Typically, this indicates an area that has a relatively low population compared to the number of students at a university. Large cities with a lot of university students - such as Boston or Philadelphia - do not typically count as "college towns" because of the overall number of cities counter-acting the influence of college students.Towns that do have an overwhelmingly large number of college students tend to be impacted in familiar ways. Often, there will be additional bookstores, coffee shops, independent movie theaters, record stores and other businesses that appeal largely to a younger, academic demographic. Additionally, there will also be a surplus of bars and inexpensive restaurants. Rent prices also tend to be affected by the demand for housing in the area near to the university, or to public transportation leading to the university. This list collects Ranker Community picks for the coolest, most fun college towns in the US. Vote up your favorites, and if the place where your favorite townies live isn't listed, make your own version of the list and add it on there!

List of the best jobs for college students looking to make some money while balancing a full courseload. These part-time jobs for college kids include many off-campus that would also be suitable jobs for high school students. However, on-campus jobs may be more desirable, both because they are more flexible and because they look great on resumes. This list has been ranked by students who have learned how to make money in college and who know the best places to work for college kids. Vote for the positions you think are best to move them to the top of the list.

Nostalgia

List of things you will miss most after college; or, if you have already graduated, things you miss most about college. The best parts about going to college and reasons why University is the best time of your life. While college is different for everyone, there are some fundamental similarities: everyone is mostly broke, optimistic, open to new experiences and willing to try new things. Many people think that living in a community of people who share the same values and hopes as you is the thing you will miss most about college. Others will mostly miss the hot girls (or guys), parties and opportunities to take a vacation every few months.What will you miss about college? How do you make the most of your time in college? The answer just may be to realize all of the great things that you have before you graduate and take advantage of them. Does life after college suck? If you keep dwelling on the past, sometimes it can feel that way. But remember once you graduate you still have a lot of learning to do. (You can start with brushing up on these <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/things-you-should-know-before-you-turn-30/elise">Things You Should Know How to Do Before You Turn 30</a>)

Daytona Beach

Lifestyle

All that time (and money) spent earning your college degree... wouldn't it have been great if even some of those classes were useful for handling everyday life stuff? This is a list of the things <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/things-you-wish-you-were-better-at/lauren-slocum?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">you wish you</a> could've learned in a college class but couldn't since the course never existed. You had to eventually figure out on your own how to do these real-life, everyday things you wish someone had taught you about. In fact, it's possible you still don't know how to do many of these things - and while you spent lots of money learning about English literature in the 1600s, probably know Socrates' birthday by heart, and can likely recall some data from the periodic table you had to memorize for a chemistry class at some point, you still don't know how to change a tire, manage your bank account, or file your taxes. Despite earning that degree, after graduation, many students are left clueless as to how they can handle some of the basic fundamentals in everyday life.Sure, some of these college classes we wish existed were offered in some iteration if you majored in a related field - 'How to Invest' or 'How to Save Money' were likely covered in a Business degree. The classes on this list are what you wish had been part of your general education requirements but weren't since most colleges don't offer a course in how to avoid identity theft, how to apply for a loan, how to take care of a pet or how to get a boyfriend or girlfriend. Even though you spent a lot of money on a fancy college degree, there are still plenty of real-life things you don't know how to do that you wish you could've learned about in college.This is a list of the classes that colleges should offer but don't... the stuff we really need to know how to do in everyday life. Vote up the classes that don't exist that you wish you could've enrolled in during college.

Pink Floyd Backs And Butts

Each fall, college kids across the country ask themselves a single important question, the answer to which will dramatically influence their semesters, years - maybe the rest of their lives. &quot;What poster can I hang in my dorm room to tell the world the most about *me*?&quot;&nbsp;Whether made of drywall or thickly-painted concrete blocks, dorm room walls provide the perfect blank canvas for an academic-minded person in his late teens or early 20s to express himself re: likes and interests. For example, if he wants to say &quot;I like a movie,&quot; he might have a poster of that one movie. Is he trying to tell you, &quot;Hey, I like to drink alcohol&quot;? Well, keep your eyes peeled for a poster that has a photograph, drawing, or advertisement for some kind of beer or liquor.

Are you looking for some college decorating ideas? Here is a collection of all the posters you will see in other people&#39;s rooms (provided you are invited into any of them) and also a guide to interpreting each one&#39;s meaning, i.e. what the poster-owner is quietly telling you about themselves.

What are some good things to hang on a dormitory room wall? Some options include: photographs of your friends and/or family, pics you took on vacation, original artwork you drew or painted, posters of sports teams or bands from your hometown, or even your class syllabi. You can even hang your corsage from prom, or the tassel from your <a href="http://www.ranker.com/tags/high-school?ref=internalCrossLinking_tag">high school</a> graduation if you have it! If any of those items sound a little too personal and TMI, try out these very common college posters so you can spread the word on your floor that you are a fan of drinking / a specific movie / &quot;art&quot; / whatever.&nbsp;

Cast your votes below for the best date ideas for college students.

College is often when you start figuring things out about yourself and start to learn who you are. The first four years you&rsquo;re away from home is the best time to experiment with what makes you you. Are you an artsy kind of person? Or do you LOVE reggae? College is when you find out. But no matter what you find yourself doing, or how much you may think you stick out from the normal crowd, you are still going to do a few completely douchey and cliche things.

List of the 7 ways to be a good roommate. Let’s be upfront: It’s weird to share a room with someone who isn’t family. Most of us grow up having our own bedrooms, then all of the sudden, we head off to college and have to share a small space with someone we've never even met. Then, upon entering the real world, chances are you’ll have to get an apartment with more people that are not family - and don’t think that sharing space with a friend (no matter how close) will be easier, because it’s not. You'll continue sharing space with someone you may not know until you get married. &nbsp;There are a million landmines that come with living with other people, but here are seven ways that can help you minimize or even avoid an all-out roommate melee. Upvote the roommate tips you like best.
