Anyone going to College/University next school year?

Where are you going?

If you consider distance learning as "going" to college.

I'm continuing at university next year, does that count?

nope. year after.

I'm continuing at university next year, does that count?

Ditto.

Sure it counts.

where are you people going?

Well, I would, if I had a high school diploma.
But I don't.

Been going to Eastern Washington University, Cheney WA for going on 3 years now.

I Plan on going to Oregon State University, or Washington State University.

If I don't get accepted I plan on joining the United States Marine Corp.

University of Southern California. Next year will be my third year there.

or Washington State University

heh, that's just down the road

heh, that's just down the road
it's my second choice

This year is my second year at university.

I'm a Junior at Miami of Ohio.

Just like it says in my profile. :D

University of Southern California. Next year will be my third year there.

how do you like it?

If you all want to know, I am deciding on U of Michigan, U of Florida, or Purdue.

those things are over rated

how do you like it?

I love it. I'm in the band, so I got to go on a ton of trips and see all the football games for free, plus it's essentially a massive frat in terms of parties, heh. The only thing I dislike about USC is the hefty price tag. Thank God for scholarships.

assuming you're a HS senior? i'm a junior. i visited purdue in the fall. seems like a great school. i'm looking at there or probably U of Illinois.

Hopefully (*crosses fingers and toes and then realises that actually paying attention in class might help more*)

I want to get into Arts at The University of Melbourne (Australianite here)... I'll need to bump my enter up by 13 points though... ugh.

fuckin' A man. what's your major?

fuckin' A man. what's your major?

Biological sciences, with a minor in art history.

Free Soviets, if I do decide to go to WSU maybe we could look each other up sometime, but thats pretty unlikely.

Yes, I am a HS senior in Michigan. Purdue is great, but I kind of want to get out of the cold.

do you know anyone in the film school? i'm interested in that kind of stuff, and i interned at a tv station this past summer. from what i've heard USC's pretty much the best film school around.

Forgive my Ignorance, but what is an Enter? It sounds like some kind of entrence test for university.

Not personally, no. I mostly know science majors and other bandies, and I haven't heard any of them talking about the film school. It's definitely one of the best film schools around, though, you're right.

i hear you. at first i was like 'anywhere but illinois' just to get the hell away but U of I's not a bad school. i still think it would be sweet to go out east or somethin but $$$

Hopefully Columbia, NYU or Boston next year (I''m a senior). If not, I'll go locally to University of Colorado-Boulder.

I hered that Colorado was a party school...

*chug*

5th year at UNLV. Before everyone knocks me for being a 5th year, I'd just like to point out that I'm a dual major, so it takes me longer. On the flip side, I'll have two baccalaureates (sp?) when I get into law school.

I'm going to the University of Northern Iowa next year

Congrats on managing to pull off two majors, regardless of a fifth year. And good luck in law school.

What are you majoring in?

Forgive my Ignorance, but what is an Enter? It sounds like some kind of entrence test for university.
It's a score given based on a students perfomance on SACs (School Assessed Coursework, basically essays and tests done in class time) and the exams/midterms.

Some subjects get marked up or down on a scale depending on whether the subject is easier or harder than others (for example, Latin gets scaled up, while Further Maths - also known a Business Maths, easiest of the maths subjects - gets scaled down). So even if you get a 50 in a subject, it might get scaled down to a 45 because the subject is easier than others. Or you might get a 40 and have it scaled up to a 48 because the subject was harder than most others. It's all very silly and confusing.

It basically ranks students in terms of grades, out of 99.99. I need 93 to get into Arts at Melbourne, and last year I got 80.

The ENTER you need to get into a certain course depends on how many places are being offered and how popular the course is - the more people who want to get into it, the higher the ENTER needed.

Hope that clears that up (hope I got it right too... enters confuse even us students most of the time. They're evil, you see).

Yeesh, and I thought the American Educational system was crazy...

(no offense)

Currently attending the Ohio State University, in Columbus, Ohio. Will be attending the same next year.

Ohio State?!?!

Been offered a car yet by a booster?

Saint Mary's University.

First year this year. Dunno what I'm majoring in yet, either Linguistics, History, or both.. all depends on my marks come the end of this term.

Nope, and neither have been any of the football players I know, including one of the two possible replacements for Nugent.

Is that someware near the west coast?

Nothing wrong with taking 5 years. Most people at my college, Kansas State University, take 4.5 or 5. I'm a Civil Engineering major, and most of my peers will take 5 years, simply because it's not very smart to take classes like Thermodynamics and Fluids at the same time.

Just had to put that in :D

I'm currently attending Case Western Reserve University (and hopefully will be doing the same next year!)

Well, that certainly wasn't Michigan this year.

Oh, do you know the real rule for how to keep a coaching job at OSU?

Here it is:

You can lose every single game, but always win the Michigan game, and you'll keep your job. That's how fanatical people are here. So fanatical, that we had four helicopters circling the campus area and hundreds of riot police for after the game.

I'm going to the University of Northern Iowa next year


Some girls i went to high school with ended up going there. I am a tried and true Iowa State fan though.

I'm currently attending Case Western Reserve University (and hopefully will be doing the same next year!)

I've alwase wondered, why do they call it a reserve university?

Damn, you guys are crazy. Remind me never to visit Ohio during UM-OSU
week. They wull take one look at my license plate and lynch me.

Colorado is for sure a huge party school, but if anybody wants to study particle physics that is the way to go, we've got nobel laureates that worked with Bose-Einstein condensate. Otherwise it's just a city covered in a constant cloud of marijuana smoke.

Isnt the Bose-Einstein condensate a crazy new state of matter?

It is my intention to learn stuff after i become a multi-millioniare so if your saying that will happen this year then why not?
But it might put my Massive NS party on hold. :( :p :eek: :) ;) :mad:

Yeah it's some interesting stuff, don't ask me too much about it, i know about as much about physics as George W. does about international affairs.

I've alwase wondered, why do they call it a reserve university?

It's not actually a Reserve University. Sometime in the past, the University of Case essentially merged with the University of Western Reserve. And voila! a geek school was born.

Is this correct?

year1 = freshman
year2 = sophmore
year3 = junior
year4 = senior and hopefully graduation.

Cause in Canada, we just call them in debt.

I'm a senior at Clemson University in good 'ole South Carolina. If all goes according to plan, next year I will be at the University of Georgia or Auburn University for vet school. *Crosses fingers*.

I am in 9th grade and I am going to go to community college this summer. All you need is your parents ok and someone from your school to ok and you can take most courses there.

Either I'm having a severe case of deja vu or I've seen this thread before... at any rate i'm a first year student at the University of Western Ontario. If anybody cares to know, I'm doing an Honours Specialization in Media Informations and Technoculture.

In case you're wondering, technoculture isn't really a word, but that doesn't stop the MIT faculty from using it. Go figure.

Anyone going to College/University next school year?

Where are you going?Well, I'm going to grad school next year, does that count?

Don't quite know where yet... I've received a couple offers, and I still have some interviews (and there are places I haven't heard from). The likely possibilities so far are Princeton, Columbia, UC San Diego, or Carnegie Mellon.

I'm continuing at university next year, does that count?
ditto

What are you majoring in?

Political Science and Philosophy. I more or less finished my philosophy off last year, and now I'm doing the poly-sci, which should take 3 more semesters (including this one). So I'll be out in 6, or 3 apiece.

When I finally start again, I'll be a junior. At the University of Central Oklahoma.

Next year I will be a senior at Wichita State.
