re: I know I'm young...but how did college social stuff work before cell phones?

I was in college from 1985-1990. I had to go to the Library to do "research". No internet nor email accounts.

Had problems with calculus ? Either go see your professor or hook up with classmates. Now , you can You Tube entire class lectures. Actually , there is no reason why a student cannot learn at an accelerated pace because of Google and the internet.
