Wall Street Journal a better source?

What can be said with some certainty is that Mr. Obama lived off campus while at Columbia in 1981-83 and made few friends. Fox News contacted some 400 of his classmates and found no one who remembered him. He had transferred from Occidental College in California after his sophomore year because, he told the Boston Globe in 1990, "I was concerned with urban issues and I wanted to be around more black folks in big cities." He got a degree in political science without honors. "For about two years there, I was just painfully alone and really not focused on anything, except maybe thinking a lot," he told his biographer David Mendell.

Does not mean much, but it is strange. No more so though than the MSM's unique disinterest in backgrounding this particular POTUS.

I'd guess the answer is he probably skipped a lot of class. Showed up for tests (or hired someone to show up for him), and made passable grades. The larger question regards his acceptance, under those circumstances, to law school.
