UnCollege isn’t just an idea or a website. It’s a movement. It’s a lifestyle. We believe that college isn’t the only path to success.
UnCollege is a social movement changing the notion that going to college is the only path to success.
We empower students to hack their education through resources, writing, and workshops. We believe that everyone can live an UnCollege life by hacking their education.
We are not against college. We do not want to end university, raze classrooms, burn books, or fire professors. We are not boycotting college. We simply challenge the notion that college is the only path to success.
Hacking your education means deciding how, where, and what you want to learn. Hacking your education means bending institutions to your reality. Hacking your education means making the most of the best years of your life.
Hacking your education does not require dropping out of college.
We believe that whether or not you attend college, success in the 21st century requires passion, hustle, and contrarianism.
It’s false to say there are only three doors in life:
1. go to college and get an office job
2. become the next Mark Zuckerberg
3. drop out and do jello shots in your basement
You can lead a happy, productive life and contribute to society without having a college degree. You can create your own door.
