No, that's not a typo. In fact, that's probably a conservative average cost for a semester's worth of textbooks – more than you might have spent for the car you took to college or the tuition for your entire senior year.” https://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/news/columnists/15439451.htm
  • “ADHD can be first test of college,” St. Paul Pioneer Press, Sept. 5, 2006. “‘The environment we put young people in is absolutely the worst for attention problems,’ said Lauren Braswell, an adjunct psychology professor at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul. … Adam Stugelmayer's struggle with ADHD didn't start until five years ago, when he enrolled at St. Thomas as an engineering major. The 22-year-old first tried to deny any problems, he said, and then he used the ADHD diagnosis as an excuse for declining grades. He is on schedule to graduate this year with a major in finance. Medication helped, but better organization and study habits made the difference. Sitting front and center in class, for example, and asking questions helped him tune in to daily lessons. Stugelmayer also works at a bank and retail outlet at the Mall of America. ‘The busier I am,’ he said, ‘the more I stay on top of things.’” https://www.twincities.com/mld/twincities/living/education/15434681.htm
