if you are just being a "button pusher" then nvm and please take your deliberate negative energy elsewhere.
otherwise, that is about the worst advice i've ever heard anyone give. IN MOST STATES THE PENALTY DOUBLES FOR BEING ON OR CLOSE TO A CAMPUS. so all he would be doing, is living somewhere where he doesn't have the right to protect himself against a room search, and if he gets caught, he gets double the punishment. even if that were not true, what you just said is something that people say when they wish they had gone to college, or when they went to college for something stupid like an art or management degree. and even if you have a major with a worthless bachelor's, they have this thing called GRAD SCHOOL. the only people who "don't learn much" are those who don't try to. yes, that is a lot of people, but the point is that you only fail to learn if you don't want to. its frustrating that you would give such terrible advice. of course you don't NEED college to be "successful" in life, but you also don't need to be "successful" to have the perfect life. it really just boils down to how happy you are, and there are many careers that people are passionate about that require degrees to get into. for instance, MEDICINE.
"They never check" really? that logic only applies to jobs that don't require much thought or knowledge. if you tried to do that in any workplace where the tasks performed require you to know quite a bit before hand (CPA for instance), then that is never true.
