University Of Toledo Named Best College To Attend For Semester Before Dropping Out To Do Hair
WASHINGTON—Hailing the Midwestern school as one of the best places to pursue and then abandon an undergraduate education, U.S. News & World Report announced Thursday that it had selected the University of Toledo as the best college to attend for a semester before dropping out to do hair for a living. “For students who take a few intro-level classes, hang around campus for a while, and then quit to become a hairdresser, the University of Toledo is an ideal choice,” read an announcement that accompanied the rankings, adding that Toledo’s strong town-and-gown relationship meant that social connections forged in college could become potential clients for a former student who was working at a nearby salon when everyone else was returning to classes after winter break. “The school offers in-state tuition, a location less than three hours away from your hometown, and a choice of around 100 different majors you can tell yourself you’re interested in before leaving to take a job as a stylist, colorist, or barber instead.” The announcement also noted that after attending the University of Toledo for a few months, some hairdressers are able to cover both rent and groceries while still making an occasional payment on their student loans.
