It’s Over, No More Uni for Somali-Americans.

1. The unis they went to were ranked higher than the local university in the area. They also didn't want to be stuck in the hood dealing with their parents and younger siblings for 4 years.

2. I commuted to school and went to a Community college first before transferring to a university. I lived in the poor part of my suburbs. I didn't really encounter that many distractions. Mainly because most of the people I went to high school with didn't go to college at all. It's kind of sad to say but at least 80% of the dudes in my neighborhood didn't even go to college after high school. The few guys in my neighborhood that went to college all moved away for school.

3. Studying a useful degrees is very important when it comes to living on campus. That student loan debt can be a pain in the ass if you can't pay it off. My uncles and aunts paid theirs off quick because they actually obtained useful degrees.

One of my uncles even said he planned on obtaining a Criminal justice degree, but once he realized he was the only liberal arts major amongst his group of Muslim friends, he got motivated to switch to mechanical engineering. Stories like this aren't uncommon to hear about. Plenty of Madows of Hispanics have spoken about how they never even knew about some engineering fields before they even got to college.

80% of people not going to university is jarring. Makes sense why you say students should live on campus I agree with that for sure in this case. Also parents need to emphasis education more. Especially if they live in America you must start saving up for their education and enrolling them in good afterschool programs asap. Studying Liberal arts only works for Cadaans the rest of us wont be able to get jobs even top paying jobs like they do. Certain STEM majors is where its at but with this economy idrk whats good anymore. But what I do know is STEM gives people a chance at escaping poverty.
