The great student digest

In all honesty, if it wasn't for the youtube video recommendation function. I would had still failing grades and eventually drop out of college.Stumbling upon into CIG on youtube was really the turnaround in my academic life. The biggest impact would really be the change in perspective of the tertiary education system. The CIG podcast is filled with useful info and interesting interviews that presents the life of a college student, doesn't have to be dull as of what you think.
