Three year Tsinghua program is not a formal B.S. program. One needs to stay 5 years to get a B.S., not 3 years.

I would like to point out like this: He studied at Tsinghua, and get Associate Bachelor's degree, from that point, it is even lower than B.S. graduate from ANY 4 year University.

So 从清华大学“毕业”都回来开档卖炒粉, I see nothing wrong.

Back to 10+ years ago when wolf was in that school, a guy lived in the opposite door was in this 3 year program. I didn't think he even studied everyday. Everyday, we received more than 100 letters for him --- from young girls all around China. Later, we found out that this guy put advertisement on the Magazine "Girl Friends (Nv You)" to look for friends. Of course it is high pitched:

TSINGHUA TALENT STUDENT IS LOOKING FOR FRIENDS

It is a shame for TH to do 3-year program like that.
