Simple question, you can answer if you choose.

Not yet. I still have to finish being High School educated, so I can start on being college educated in a few months.

Edit: Let's do the time warp again!!!

Of course. Can't you tell? *makes balloon poodle*

Classes start on Monday for me, but my appointment with a counselor is on Tuesday so I'm starting a little late.

Simple question, you can answer if you choose.

I've one more year in High school. Then I don't know if I will go to college immediatelly or work a year so I don't have to take huge loans to pay for my education.

Of course. Can't you tell? *makes balloon poodle*

*makes pregnant balloon poodle*

I haven't graduated yet........so I guess no.

I'm still in high school, but I've taken college and college-level courses. I voted no to be safe.

I haven't graduated yet........so I guess no.

I call 'em Potbellied Poodles. :)

Well I am in the midst of it.

not so simple a question after all

if you are in college but dont have a degree yet, are you college educated? if you went but didnt complete and think you never will, are you college educated? what if you have a 2-year degree?

yes, Im a post grad now, just after finishing my BA, Im very lazy with my masters though. *starts to get cracking on that research diary for monday*

I have two completely unrelated associates degrees, but I am sure those don't count.

I have nearly a bachelors, and start graduate school before too long........

I know I am educated, just not sure what counts as "college educated" does that mean you have taken courses at a college? if so then yes, and so are my children.

i would think that it entails having taken some minimum-number-to-be-determined-later of classes. otherwise "do you have a college degree?" would be a more appropriate question.

What exactly is a college?

What about partially?

:rolleyes: there is more than just one educational system in the world...
what exactly is a college? in the UK, in the US?

There's no need to be awkward. S/he clearly means university.

There's no need to be awkward. S/he clearly means university.so college is the same as university?

I'm in my fourth semester of Purdue Engineering (a.k.a. being bent over and raped)

I go to college, but I'm not college educated. I just want my degree. :D

Probation Officer and years of desk work here I come!

so college is the same as university?

In the US, college and university are interchangable...generally, a college will offer degrees in only one program (a teaching or nursing or music college, for example) where a university will be made up of several colleges. This isn't a rule, however.

You could probably guess that he was talking about the US system by the fact that his location says "The United States"


I'm half way through my junior year.

You should have included a "Not Yet" option.

I'm half way through my junior year.well, i went to university for four years, but then i dropped out and started a well-paid job...

Not yet.

In the process of becoming so, and it's rather easy.

So, yes.

What exactly is a college?

American English colloquial for University.

Not yet. I'm still in high school.

Starts back up again on Monday. Bleh, I was enjoying holidays.

Not yet... I'm enrolling in TAFE on Tuesday, so if all goes well, I should be in university in a couple of years.

not so simple a question after all

if you are in college but dont have a degree yet, are you college educated? if you went but didnt complete and think you never will, are you college educated? what if you have a 2-year degree?
Yes to all three. In most surveys, the category for the first two would be "some college." If you have a two year degree, you have completed college in the sense that you finished the required curriculum.

As for me, I have a BA in English and a MFA (60 hours) in Creative Writing and did a Fellowship at Stanford for two years.

so college is the same as university?

Universities are made up of different colleges--mine has a College of Arts and Sciences, a College of Nursing, a College of Business, etc. The advantage of a university is that it allows for a well-rounded education.

I'm currently in my final semester at my university. Ah, sweet graduation looms. :)

I'm currently attending the Univeristy of Sheffield.

I goes to the lernin huose.
Yupp.


Lol. No, I go to a Grammar School.

Still in high school, but I am going to go to college for free.

Class of 2012

Yes, assuming college means university.

I graduated in 2003, and went on with post-grad. I'm currently preparing a doctoral thesis, I'll hopefully have my first research article published in a few months, and I'm beginning my proper career as a teacher at university (as opposed to just getting one year teaching contracts at unis previously).

Marking exam papers takes ages, but at least it's less stressful than being a student taking exams. ;)

Yep. University of Leicester 2003-2006. Graduated with a BA History (2:1) in July.

I'm at Manchester Uni, studying for a biochemistry degree. It's not what I want to do but fuck it, this way I've got another degree in the bag and several more years of uni life, hopefully :D

I have about 1/7th of a chemical engineering degree, so I guess I should say no.

Universities are made up of different colleges--mine has a College of Arts and Sciences, a College of Nursing, a College of Business, etc. The advantage of a university is that it allows for a well-rounded education.

And then you get a school like Boston College, which is actually a university, and isn't in Boston...go figure.

I have some college credit, but am not near the degree that I want, so I picked no.

I'm currently attending Ohio State.

I'm in grade 10, so no.
I wish I did have a university degree, but 3 years from now I will probably be doubting, then 7 1/2 years from now I will know it was all worth it.

I have a B.Sc. in Administration and am 12 units short of a B.A. in Ancient and Medieval History. Maybe, now that I've retired, I can complete the History degree.

I have an AA in Music, a BA in Film & Digital Media, and a graduate degree in Playwrighting.

I'm unemployable!

Currently studying Mechanical Engineering at Michigan State University. Soon to be studying Aerospace Engineering at the United States Air Force Academy.

So I'm like half educated.

Yes i graduated from College.

I have a BS in PoliSci. Aside from and in spite of that, I managed to get at least what I consider to be the bare bones of a real college level education. (Yes, I despise a great deal of what passes for a "college education" today.)

Yup. BA in Secondary Education and MS in Counseling & Educational Psychology. After JET is over I'll be going for my PhD. Pretty sure that counts as college edjumakated.

I'm guessing it counts if you're not done your degree yet... I'm done at the end of this year though.

I've spent more time in school after college than I did in college.

So...yes.

Well, I'm still in college, but since I am going I'd say yes.

yes

not so simple a question after all

if you are in college but dont have a degree yet, are you college educated? if you went but didnt complete and think you never will, are you college educated? what if you have a 2-year degree?

What about partially?

to clarify, if you have completed any college, I would consider it as being college educated.
