Let’s face it - students everywhere wreck their brains to get into college. That’s just the reality. I will give you an example of an average student in Beijing. His daily commute time alone would total 4 hours. He takes 15 subjects per semester and learns in a classroom of 60~70 students. He canot hope to ask questions individually to a teacher. If he cannot understand something, he would just have to memorize. He wakes up at 4 am and goes to sleep at midnight. His hobby? Study.

Compared to this, BS sounds like a heaven to me. BS provides an insulated, artificial learning environment conducive to self-development. You can do everything in one place. Zero commuting time. You sleep 8 hours. You are encouraged to ask questions. You have 5 kids in your class. Your teacher holds a Ph.D. You swim, debate, play ice-hockey in the same day.

What more could you want?
