halibaster asked: What types of debate are in college? Are any of the events similar to high school debate events? I want to know when I start my first college season in the fall.
The two big formats (at least in the Northeast) are Policy and Parli though I can’t for sure say that the college and HS parli are the same since I wouldn’t touch that format with a ten foot pole.
clubbackpack asked: Did you have to swith partners? What did you do to help with the transition?

weeooodoctorwho asked: To the anon regarding debate laptops: I tend to find Macs really difficult for debate because it doesn't have a good, easy way to find cards.
I don’t know much about this because I know enough about computers to never waste a bunch of money on a Mac. My $400 Acer laptop would cost over $1,000 if it were a Mac with comparable specs
