Hey I'm a Chinese college kid:) Basically my school life's sooo boring. What's the REAL American college life like? Is it all about band, parties, making boy/girl friends and getting a job (just like in movies)? You guys really are financially independence in college? I'm curious.

See a translation

In America, we are more independent than other places. When we're 18, that's when we are legally adults and start to become independent and move out of our parents house. Not all people are financially independent but there are a good amount who have financial help and get jobs etc. But the way movies portray things are very wrong and so over exaggerated lol. We have parties but not like in the movies. We also have bf/gf but that depends on how much time you can make for them and how financially stable you are. It's really just like any other other place but with more independence. Don't trust the movies.
