College is overrated. Well, some college. You can get a fine education at the U of M, if you try; it's not necessary to go to an expensive school, unless you're looking for connections that will help you down the line. But saddling yourself with enormous debt so you can get a degree in something with no practical application might not be the best idea. Especially if your college is spending your tuition on things like . . . Snooki. AP reports:

Remember, "dish" means "talk about." So Rutgers paid this orangey-hued ninny $32,000 to make utterances about her hair, and the act of pumping's one fist in the air to indicate approval. Okay. She had advice for the students, too: "Study hard, but party harder!" The AP story quoted above doesn't give you full flavor of the event. Go here the New Jersey Star-Ledger's story to see how she was received. Hint: very well.
