Here's a collection of amusing cartoon's from kycse's university, translated into English. We'll add more as he finds them =]

Artists: See the copyright of the pictures
Translator: kycse
Editor: Shadow Rebirth

Reason for translating them: Major awesomeness

Translator's Note: Second panel, top frame - The original term is: "Lassen sie mich durchfallen", which was translated to "Let me retake the exam". However, the more literal translation means "Let me fail.", since you would've passed normally, but still want to "fail" the exam because you want to take the make-up exam.

Continued.

Translator's Note: The term "rowing tuition" is derived from the word for "college tuition", hence the pun.

ErstsemesterInnen-Info has some, and geier 15X to the newest one, one in each newspaper. (I think it was 151 when they started iirc. But I'm sure it was around 150)

I think it was sky, because someone just misspelled ky. Amgine uses ky. (Are 5 letters really that much? Tetsuki has seven, so it's even longer. amgine has 6, so it's longer as well...)

yeah, apparently it's a really great school. people around here are like whatever, it's Penn State. almost everyone goes there. but people from other states are like, you went to Penn State? COOL!

I say you should choose the course you'd enjoy the most, not the best school that offered. Since you'll probably be doing what you study there for the rest of your life. CHOOSE WISELY. *Sagely nod of the head*

what do you like so much that you wouldn't mind doing it for your entire life without extended breaks? unless you like breaks like summer break, in which case you should be a teacher.

a major... like, the main program you study in college. it's what would go on your degree when you graduate. like, an English major, Business major, Pre-med, Pre-law, Architecture, Archaeology, Civil Engingeering, etc.

and a hobo is a homeless person, usually depicted dressed in layers of rags and dirty. i haven't actually seen many, but i don't live in a city and i don't think there are any in my town, so i'd only see them when i visit a city and walk around, which i don't do much.

that's why i will declare my major "Undecided" until i actually have a year or two more to figure it out... and in the meantime i'll take the core classes that i need and some crazy ones that interest me in the hopes of finding my true calling. also, i should probably get a job...

i haven't even retaken the SATs yet... or finished my graduation project. i really need to get on that if i want a life next year. seniors get to have lots of fun as long as they finish their graduation project before they're seniors. if they don't finish they aren't allowed to participate in any school activity outside of class... idk what i'll do though.

yeah, that's how it used to be here. but no more. our "hick school" seems to be more with the times than yours... there are only 619 kids on the facebook network for my high school. i love it.

and this reflection makes me think i want a small school with a nice campus... gettysburg is looking really nice, but it's expensive and i don't know if it has programs i'd like.
