The problem is, my classes at the university are painstakingly boring, like the classes at my high school had been.
I think the only sure thing to do is visit a few possible colleges and sit in on their classrooms and see if the fit is right.
I do know of a few people who skipped undergraduate altogether and went straight to graduate school - in part I think it depends on if you are at all interested in a broad range of topics, or more of a focused interest person.
Then there is the question of 'finding one's people' - some people enjoy college for the social connections. That isn't so important to others. A friend of mine recently found his 'people' at age 60.
If you are under the age of 18, I would apply for the Davidson Young Scholar's Program. With or without them, I would try to find a mentor at a top level university in your field of interest so that you could have someone to talk to about topics you appreciate. The mentor can help guide you to a school where you can take graduate level classes as an undergraduate if that is where you actually need to be.
Are there any Universities within commuting distance of your home, or any close relatives' homes?
Have you looked at Davidson Academy, or their summer program 'THINK?'
What do you do for fun in the summer time?
Please post more and let us know how things are going.
Love and More Love,
Grinity
