The local college is so rude!

"Starbright Vocational College?"

Hearing this, the classmates gathered around, looking at Howard's computer screen. "This name does sound familiar!"

The other classmates also felt it was familiar, but they couldn't immediately recall where they had heard it.

"Let me check on TikTok..."

Saying this, one of the classmates opened TikTok. After searching for the college name, videos quickly appeared.

"This is a culinary school. The official account's videos are mostly about cooking..."

Culinary school?

Howard raised an eyebrow and said, "Do you guys remember that New Star Arts College? Could it be the same one?"

"Ah, the one where you learn cooking? It might be. They both teach culinary arts!"

"I looked it up; it really is. They changed their name this year!"

"Forget it, we can't go to that school. It was in the news back then; it's too chaotic!"

Thinking it might be New Star Arts College, the classmates shook their heads. While they weren't top students, they weren't troublemakers either. They wanted to avoid the notorious New Star.

Howard wasn't interested in this school either, so he skipped it. However, after looking through all the local vocational colleges, none of them were satisfactory. There were problems with every one of them!

"Should we look at colleges outside the city? The local ones are too disappointing. How about going to Sichuan Province? I heard there are a lot of pretty girls and delicious food!"

One classmate suggested.

Howard, feeling frustrated, ran his hand through his hair. Finding a decent local college was proving to be difficult. But to be honest, Howard didn't want to go out of town. He was quite attached to home and preferred to stay nearby.

The name Starbright Vocational College came back to him. There hadn't been any news about it for years. It was said that the owner had an accident back then. Now that it had re-emerged, there must be a new owner, right?

Hesitating, he googled the school's name and found its official website. Entering the website, the first thing he saw were pictures of the school. There were photos of the cooking training rooms, dormitory buildings, and cafeteria. The dorms even had air conditioning and were four-person rooms, which looked quite decent.

Below the photos was the school introduction. Howard took a look and raised an eyebrow, "No way, is this for real?"

His classmates, still discussing which city to go to, turned to Howard. "What's real?"

Howard pointed to his screen. "Check out the Starbright Vocational College website. The introduction is kind of wild..."

A classmate rolled his eyes. "What's so wild? These introductions usually talk about awards or visits from officials. What's the big deal?"

Howard shook his head. "It's not that. You have to see it to believe it..."

Curious, the three classmates moved closer, pushing their chairs back to look at Howard's screen. They were quickly astonished.

"No way, is this real? The dorms only have lights out at ten, but the sockets stay on. So you can play games as late as you want?"

"You can choose your dorms. If we all enroll, we could end up in the same dorm and play games all night!"

"No mandatory campus network; you can get broadband from major providers at a student discount?"

"The cafeteria isn't outsourced. The school hires people to run it. The principal and staff eat there too, no special treatment!"

"And if you find foreign objects in your food, you can post it online and report it to the principal. The school won't hold you accountable and will compensate you according to food safety laws?"

"Proper military training with only one day of drill practice, plus cultural classes during training, and you even get to handle real guns. Is this for real?"

"Howard, is this really the school's official website? Did you use a shady search engine and find a fake site?"

"Yeah, I can't believe this. How could there be such a good school!"

The classmates shook their heads in disbelief. "Forget the other stuff. The cafeteria compensates for food safety issues? That's a joke."

Despite being high school students, they knew a lot in this internet age. The law might allow it, but if you dared to ask for compensation from a school, you'd likely face retaliation from the administration or have your diploma withheld. Schools and students were never equals, which is why many schools exploited students without fear of repercussions.

Now, suddenly, a vocational college, and just a vocational college at that, claimed to treat students so well and respect them. It was hard to believe.

Howard was also skeptical. Hearing his classmates' doubts, he hesitated, "I did use a mainstream search engine, but it might still be a fake site. Let me check with other engines..."

Howard opened other search engines and cross-checked on TikTok and WeChat public accounts. Eventually, he confirmed that it was the official website.

"It's a real website!"

"Could it be a scam?"

"Maybe. This school probably struggles to attract students and came up with this trick. If we enroll and pay the tuition, then they show their true colors, what can we do? We can't just drop out and repeat the year."

Even after confirming it was the official website, they remained skeptical of the introduction.

Howard was also uncertain. Part of him felt it couldn't be true. How could there be such a humane and student-oriented school? Most schools believed students should endure hardships to prepare for society, not pamper them.

But another part of him hoped it was true. Starbright was in the same city, and if everything on the website was accurate, his three years of vocational college would be much more comfortable.

Still, was it true or false? In this age of internet scams, Howard, fresh out of high school, was confused.

At that moment, his three classmates were still debating.

"I think it's fake!"

"What if it's real? Starbright might be trying to build a good reputation."

"Even if it is, I don't want to study culinary arts. Being a chef is exhausting, with a big neck and greasy clothes. How will I ever get a girlfriend?"

"You're silly. Nowadays, girls don't know how to cook. If you can cook well, you'll win them over!"

"Can't we choose other majors? I remember New Star had many programs like excavator operation and beauty services."

"Didn't you read carefully? This school only has one culinary program!"

"Wow, a single-major college. That's new. I don't want to be a chef. Forget it..."

Young people today generally dislike manual labor. Factories already struggle to hire young workers, let alone chefs.

So even if the introduction was real, they didn't want to enroll. The three classmates shook their heads, planning to look at other schools.
