I'm curious as to which colleges people on here have attended, are attending, or plan to attend.

Right now, I plan to go to the University of South Florida.

So, which college do you, did you, or will you go to?

I am currently a student at The Ohio State University. Big school, but good school. If you put the effort in, you can get a first rate education.

I went to the University of Bristol for my undergraduate degree. Now I'm at the College of Law in London.

Really? I went to New College before it became part of USF. Sarasota was fun in the 70's, especially for someone who grew up in New Jersey and expected snow and ice all winter. Probably why it took me from 1969 to 1975 to graduate. :p

University of Calgary. Good Astrophysics programme.

I also spent six years as an undergraduate.

York College, as far as actual college goes (at there at the moment).

Planning on going to Manchester Uni or Bath perhaps.

I have yet to see snow, but I can imagine how that might delay things a bit.:)

I'm probably going to go to the Tampa campus of USF, even though the Sarasota branch is growing and is a bit closer to where I live.

I normally attend the TU Cottbus, but I'm currently at the UVA.

Leeds University, doing a degree in Geology.

Went to Writtle College in Essex and did an HND in Animal Science. It was great! Shame we have to do the getting older bit......

Give me your address, I'll send all the snow I shovel off my sidewalk this winter.

When I got there just about 37 years ago *takes a moment to be stunned by that* my incoming class doubled the size of the school to 500. By the time I left, we were around 850, I think. When I arrived they told us to look around, two out of every three new students would be gone in two years. We had a huge attrition rate, mainly because, being the hippie school we were, there were no required subjects and very little discipline beyond what you yourself provided.

It was a cool place. I haven't been back and I'm not sure I want to visit, it would spoil all my myths and memories.

Have fun (seriously, do) and enjoy the learning!

Didn't it always seem like getting older was something happened to other people?

Indeed :(

Ah well, good things come with time too........:)

My college years were the best of my life so far. Current situation's ok.

Didn't it always seem like getting older was something happened to other people?

YES!

Im still the same goofy kid I always was underneath this weatherbeaten old hide. But it took so very little apparant time to get from kid to middle age that it was able to sneak up on me without me noticing it like I should have.

Undergrad at Southeastern Louisiana University, MFA at University of Arkansas, and a fellowship at Stanford. I liked Stanford the best. :D

No thanks:) I'll just have to go up north in the winter sometime. I've been as far north as Niagara Falls, but only in the summer.

What did you study?

Did you ever go to Bishop Planetarium or see Snooty? I'm not sure exactly how old he is now, but I'm know that he's pretty old, especially for a manatee.

as if you guys couldn't guess, I start University of Oklahoma in Fall of 2007.

I studied Classics, which meant I took classes with and learned Greek and Latin from one very cool professor. Plus history and bunches of other stuff, but "Classical Studies" is what my diploma says. I didn't ever go to Bishop Planetarium (we were very challenged transportationally, almost no one had a car), and I don't know about Snooty. This was almost 40 years ago. I did once see a one-eyed crocodile at Manatee State Park, though. We all ran away. :eek:

I currently attend Texas Tech University. WRECK EM TECH! :)

Back in my day, we didn't have colleges. We just had rocks. And we had to walk to 'em, in the snow, uphill, both ways.

University College, Dublin as an undergraduate and a post-graduate.

I may go back to university in the future to do a further postgraduate degree, or possibly extend my work into a Doctorate. Possibly University of Edinburgh, Nottingham or Kings College, London.

I'd go tp Victoria University.

I did my undergrad at Stanford University, and I have yet to decide which law schools I'll be applying to.

Back in my day, we didn't have colleges. We just had rocks. And we had to walk to 'em, in the snow, uphill, both ways.

Thats nothing. We were so poor we couldnt afford feet and we had to roll uphill to school both ways.

I'm going to the University of Adelaide...... hopefully :D

Winthrop (http://www.winthrop.edu)... as long as I stay out of trouble with the judicial council. (Just can't lay off the drinking and leave the girls alone. :) )

If I don't get expelled (Lord forbid!) I should graduate in 2008.

I go to Michigan State at the moment...hopefully, I'll graduate before the end of the decade. Hopefully :\

And some people thought the anteater (http://www.uci.edu/) was weird. At least the ant bear (http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9007737) kinda fits in with the overall California (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:California_state_flag.png) theme. :D

Yeah, we never had a bear themed mascot. We where seals up until students insisted that the slug was a better mascot, since the little buggers are everywhere. I like that we broke from tradition a little, it fits the rest of our school nicely. (It didn't have grades until very recently, instead it had narrative evaluations)

I'm applying to George Washington, Swarthmore, The University of Puget Sound, Ithaca College, and UW.

The above order is my order of preference.

Currently attending Suffolk County Community College, going to attend New York Institute of Technology.

I will attend ----------------- in -----.

That's cool. I'm in AP Latin right now.:)

As far as I know, Snooty's been there since the 1940's.

One-eyed crocodile? That's strange. I haven't seen on of those, but I heard that there was an albino alligator at Jungle Gardens.

Bates College, for music, focus on cello performance. With a second major in philosophy, and a minor in political science.

Western Illinois University

Starting Loughborough University in 12 days!

Most excited ^^

Received my BA from Louisiana Tech and my MS from Oklahoma State University.

I normally attend the TU Cottbus, but I'm currently at the UVA.

I didn't know Tulasa University had a campus in Cottbus. Where is Cotobus? Where is UVA?

Didn't it always seem like getting older was something happened to other people?

:( Yes, and now it is happening to me. :eek:

I'm moving in to Ohio State on Sunday.

as if you guys couldn't guess, I start University of Oklahoma in Fall of 2007.

OOPS! OU? Should have gone to OSU. :p

I am currently attending Creighton University in Omaha, NE.

Here's a "Top 10" of thing I wish someone had told me before I went to college...

1. People come and people go. Don't worry about it.

2. 5% extra effort often equates to much, much more. Make sure your professors know you.

3. You are responsible for you. Or not. Whichever you choose is your problem.

4. You will meet people that will change your life. Be nice.

5. You will change other people's lives. Be nice.

6. Everyone has something wrong with them. If everyone could form a circle and throw all their problems into a pile and was forced to take one back at random, you'd fight to get yours back.

7. Be confident. If you're not, you'll never get anywhere.

8. Sometimes you have to take a risk. Sometimes you shouldn't. Wisdom is being able to tell the two apart.

9. Travel as much as you can. You never know what will happen.

10. Treat school like a job. Start your day, go for 8 hours, then go home. Don't hang around the dorm all day or whatever. That's the path to failure.

Mark,
Graduate of the University of Connecticut, class of 1995.

I don't plan on going to college.

Hey, I saw at least 50 people who "vacationed" at UConn.

I'm curious as to which colleges people on here have attended, are attending, or plan to attend.

So, which college do you, did you, or will you go to?

I went with the 'screw college, I'm going to get paid to learn' route AKA The Military.

Must suck to have to pay for University education alright.

OOPS! OU? Should have gone to OSU. :p

I get better credit transfer from Oklahoma Baptist to OU, plus I get $$ off tuition since my family are alumni, and I can get a scholarship from a sorority being a legacy and all.

It's just financially more sound.

Plus.....OSU sucks. ;)

BOOMER SOONER!!

No idea.

Possibly The Art Institute of Philadelphia..

*ubershrug*

I wouldn't know, the goverment pays it for me.

Here's a "Top 10" of thing I wish someone had told me before I went to college...

Mark, that is great and so true but if someone had told you that before you went to college, you probably would not have listened.

I hope those that are heading there now will listen to your sage advice.

I didn't know Tulasa University had a campus in Cottbus. Where is Cotobus? Where is UVA?:p
Technische Universität Cottbus. Just West of Poland. UVA is in Charlottesville.

If there's any state a man would love, it's Ohio. The women go down easy. :D

It's also where I figured out I was (practically) gay, ironically.

You have both points. I miss Ohio, compared to Oklahoma :(

Attended The University of North Dakota.

University of Missouri, Columbia.

Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott. Yeah for socially inept engineers! I'd be at the Air Force Academy if it weren't for a knee injury. There's always next year.

Bates College, for music, focus on cello performance. With a second major in philosophy, and a minor in political science.

Haha! Yeah NESCAC schools!

I attended Tufts University. Go Jumbos!

Recieved my BA and MS from the University of Nevada, Reno. I'll probably head back fall 07 to start another masters (MA this time) and then kick off my PhD in the spring there.

Yes, UNR wants to keep me for some reason and only agreed to let me go play in Japan if I promised I would come back. :p

Still...
Go Wolf Pack!

I'm curious as to which colleges people on here have attended, are attending, or plan to attend.

Right now, I plan to go to the University of South Florida.

So, which college do you, did you, or will you go to?

i went to Cardiff University Business School for a BScEcon(Hons) in Economics, then changed to the School of European Studies for a BScEcon in Politics.

and i don't have an actual degree in either of them :( but i will get a degree one day, but probably in something more useful/practical and less abstract/academic...

very true. sadly i'm the type who has to learn things for myself (the hard way) and, despite all kinds of people telling me this before i went, only now can i hold up my hand and know you're absolutely right!

I go to university. I don't even know why

I wouldn't know, the goverment pays it for me.

Same for me, but with the added bonus that I don't have to do military service.

I go to the 'Universiteit Utrecht' (UU) and I'm still busy with my BS in Biology

OK. Here is wishing you the best. :fluffle:

GO OSU

thanks.

you know nobody really looks good in orange right? LOL

.... For the record, Oklahoma is the most boring state I've been to. And I've been to a lot.

If you are bored then you are boring.....

actually when did you come? did you hit OKC or Tulsa? There really isn't much for someone who can't entertain themselves anywhere else in OK, and we like it that way, keeps out most of the "I'm bored" types. ;)

If you are bored then you are boring.....


I've heard this before, but I disagree. People who don't get bored are always pretty satisfied and don't do anything abnormal to break the boredom they have. I think that interesting, dynamic people get bored-that's why they do all that non-boring stuff, because they're bored and they don't want to be anymore.

Syracuse University '90 BA in Political Science

I went to UMBC (University of Maryland Baltimore County) for undergrad, and I'm now attending Loyola Graduate School for my masters.

Free University Berlin and Humboldt University Berlin (we can combine majors and minors from all the Berlin universities); one year on a scholarship at Indiana University in Bloomington.

I am never bored, can't think of a time when I was. I am pretty good at finding things to entertain myself. In fact you should look up my "chance to do something important" thred. it's a way I entertain myself for hours at a time when forced to be around my mom.

But if you didn't do all that stuff you'd be bored, so you do all that stuff. If you didn't get bored or have the capacity for it you could just sit and do nothing and it wouldn't bother you. (I can't lose this becuase if I did I'd have to go back and find an ex-girlfriend and admit defeat, and I'm not doing that...)

I can amuse myself without having to "do" anything, I can sit and think and be entertained.

btw your ex still lost because I am ubercool and she apparenlty was not, and I know that because

a) she is your ex, and not your current

and

b) because she couldn't win such an easy debate. ;)

I'm currently going to Central Michigan University for a degree in French.

I did the military thing too, and it's rather handy having that money from Uncle Sam every month. Also, it's kinda wierd being the old kid in class.

...hopefully, I'll graduate before the end of the decade. Hopefully :\

I hear that.


I'm up at Boston University.

Scumbag University

Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology

It may be the only good thing about Indiana.

This spring, I'll hopefully be auditioning for the Canadian College of Performing Arts. (http://www.ccpacanada.com) I'll probably also have to get my BA in acting at UVic, or somewhere of the sort, because my mother doesn't approve of me only training for one year (something about flushing all my RESP money down the toilet).

University College, Dublin as an undergraduate and a post-graduate.
.


Peasant.

Trinity College for the SR with a post grad in UCD (slummed it for the year)

I'm currently at the University of Southern California. :D

I'm applying to a few different colleges, but I really wanna go to the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia either for biochemistry or pharmacy, or if I'm really up to it, a double major.

I go to Michigan State at the moment...hopefully, I'll graduate before the end of the decade. Hopefully :\

Ya ever wonder why they call it "MT" Pleasant?

Not a mountain in sight.

Ahh...the Mt Pleasant student ghetto....Ive wasted many brain cells there.

Planning on going to MIT in 2011, to study Computer Science :)

I'm in the UK, so you can work out what I'm doing atm if you want.

I'm 'studying' (read: drinking and scraping by) at victoria university, wellington.

I currently am doing a BA(Hons) Modern History at The Queen's University of Belfast (QUB)

I actually dropped out of 3 diff colleges Angelo State University, South Plains College, and Lubbock Christian University. Several of my professors didnt care for being proven wrong in middle of class and made it thier mission to see me flunk out. I corrected my math's teacher on way to do problem 6 or 7 times a week I swear I probably should of been teaching the class not taking it.

Aiming for Colgate University. Planning to major in International Relations and Economics.
I don't understand all my friends who are content to go to UT, get some engineering degree, and live a plain life.

University of Pittsburgh right now; I'm a freshman. I hate it. It being college in general.

I previously completed one year at Ryerson University in Toronto for New Media studies. Currently attending York University (Toronto) and Sheridan College (Oakville, Ontario) for their joint program in Graphic Design. Taking elementary German as an elective, so far its pretty damn fun! :)

University of Sheffield. I've been here since Saturday. It's proper good. :p

I'm curious as to which colleges people on here have attended, are attending, or plan to attend.

Right now, I plan to go to the University of South Florida.

So, which college do you, did you, or will you go to?


I spent 9 months of the past year at The Georgia Insitute of Technology.

That didn't work out too well.

If everything goes according to plan, I will be attending the University of South Florida this January.

Small world ain't it?

Ya ever wonder why they call it "MT" Pleasant?

Not a mountain in sight.

Ahh...the Mt Pleasant student ghetto....Ive wasted many brain cells there.

Yeah, I've always wondered that. As the saying goes "There aren't any mountains, and it's not all that pleasant". I'm sort of a townie (I'm from Alma) so I get asked that a lot.

Ah yes, Welcome Weekend on Frat Row and up and down Washington. Fun times.

Mt Pleasant is actually starting to suck a lot less. They're building a whole lot more commercial stuff down by Walmart and rumors are flying around about a mall being built sometime in the near future.

university of edinburgh (scotland) (uk)

The Queen's University of Belfast (QUB)

Served my time there before heading off to Coventry to study at the University of Warwick in what can only be described as a spectacularly ill-considered move. But hey, I didn't die, passed and came back home.

Um, what's TSI? (It's from Red Dawn...)

The South Islands.

I don't know if I should be ashamed of this, but I have Red Dawn on DVD.

University of Illinois Chicago.

A much better school than University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, but they will never admit to it. We are also surrounded by a city, instead of corn fields. Its nice.

iam applying to St andrews, aberdeen, and warwick at the moment

Diablo Valley College

Meh.

California State University, Fresno as a student in the Smittcamp Family Honors College

Oh yeah!

Hey, who doesn't? :D

I am currently enrolled in the University of Oklahoma and starting my first year.

Bachelor of Arts in Economics from The University of Missouri St. Louis (UMSL). This is the last semester of my Masters in Political Science from the same fine institution.....God love UMSL...

Doing Business Management and Economics Dual Degree at UQ.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UQ
The University was ranked the 47th in the World University Ranking in November 2005 published by The Times Higher Education Supplement, climbing two places from 2004. The University was also ranked 40th in top technology universities, 89th in top arts and humanities universities, 29th in the top biomedicine institutions and in the top 25 for social sciences.
Considering how easy it was to get in, and that I'm not really paying very much at all, despite not having a scholarship, I don't think I can complain.

So, which college do you, did you, or will you go to?

None. WHEE!!!!

None. WHEE!!!!

What's wrong with you! Don't you know that you'll not be able to get a good job, that you'll spend the rest of your life sorting garbage, that no one will respect you, that you'll smell, that you won't have anything to frame on your wall, that you won't be popular on campus? Don't you know that?

You do? Well then, good for you! You didn't fall for the pro-college propaganda like the rest of us did.

For an agricultural college, isn't it perfect? :D

I surmise that "college" roughly equates to English university?

Provided it does, I am applying to Oxford, York, Kings College, St.Andrews and two others to read history.

I already graduated from Southwest Mississippi Community College and I'm graduating in December from the University of Southern Mississippi.

I got my BA in History at the University of Texas (Hook 'em!) and am now working on my juris doctor at St. Mary's University School of Law.

it does not "roughly equate"; it equals. We use both the terms "college" and "university" in the United States to refer to institutions of higher education.
