Where did you go to college?

Me, Ole Miss. Let the jokes begin.

goes to Kenyon. Loves it!

..... different ..... place.

Great school!

The student council, governed by the Monarchists, fought valiantly to keep them on campus.

Suppose I'd remember if I saw a places to stick a gas nozzle in the things, but I never had to milk 'em for credit or tip 'em for fun.

that would allow visitors to view its stomachs at work.

Redstone

I dropped out of high school, joined the army, then went straight to work afterwards.

Well, there was that 6 months or so of computer/business school, but it's not really "college" in my opinion.

University of Florida, Class of '88 here.:hi:
That was after I took a break from getting my AA at Jefferson State Junior College (it was called back then) in Birmin-hayum, Alahbayum (a great place to be FROM).

Moni

Always nice to hear from a fellow gator!:toast:

Class of 94, Russian. :-)

hook 'em

joking, i never bought into that whole aggie/longhorn debate.

i was one of those teasips who read weighty tomes and ate falafel before o'lielly made it cool.

I also attended Central Michigan for my Master's and Pace University for my Doctorate........

Knox faculty are interested in growing your brain more than they are interested in growing their own reputations....
Knox gives out generous financial aid....
The leather Chairs in the Seymour Library are perfect for sleeping, particularly when there's a fire in the fireplace.....
At Knox, we play football in a big hole in the ground, and admission was (hopefully is still) free......
Every Spring, a bacchanal takes place called Flunk Day.....
You study hard because Galesburg really hasn't much to offer except cheap drinks.......
You also study hard because what most colleges cover in 18 weeks, we do in 10.....
It's a very beautiful campus......
We always begin the school year by shaking everybody's hand - and even the most irascible, ultra hip students do this......
Chicago is always a short train ride away.....
In the summer, you can smell the trainloads of swine and poultry, it is not pleasant.

Great post. I just love our school. It's one of the best things that ever happened to me.

Class of '90 btw.

Theatre and Political Science - so naturally my Doctorate is in Computer Science.......

He loved it.

Founded 1410, oldest in Scotland third oldest in the U.K.

when she finishes her undergrad at Ohio State. She mentioned St Andrews.

My sister lives in the midlands in England.

There are lots of American students there, it's somewhat isolated off on the Scottish coast and the entire town has fewer than 20,000 people there (including the university) which can lead to a feeling of claustrophobia on the one hand, but also a very good feeling of community on the other.

Personally - I loved my time there, and most folk I knew did so too.

When University College Dundee was being founded, there was a whole whoo-haa about the degree-awarding authority. So it was made a college underneath the University of St. Andrews - a place I have great respect for and sadly I never got to visit (shame on me- - they even had a free university bus between Dundee and St. Andrews - primarily for shuttling library books but if there was space, students were carried FOC)

I never graduated from Dundee but I treasure my time there.

As you can see, the University logo/symbol/crest/shield (sorry the exact word escapes me) is awfully similar to the St. Andrews one, and you will find a number of St. Andrew's "shields" on the older buildings around campus, notably the Carnelly building




Carnelly Building.

The University of Dundee consider anyone who has completed a year of study there to be Alumni, not just graduates. So even though I didn't graduate, I do consider Dundee to be my Alma Mater.

However I am just as proud to be an Aggie - I am a full time undergraduate at NN A&T State. I attended the graduation ceremony at UNC Chapel Hill on Sunday... I don't know what to make of it: if it's anything like what my graduation ceremony is going to be well... it's going to be smaller, the robes are going to be gold instead of pale blue, and well... it's two hours of sitting through something. But I guess it's a rite of passage.

Later y'all...
Mark.

Started in a factory at 18 and have been working (for the most part) ever since. I did put myself through a technical school and have worked my way up into an engineering position though.

Didn't go there myself, but my grandpa taught there for a couple of decades and change. I love fort collins and have always had a soft spot for the Rams :)

Bet you can tell where I went.

Small world, ain't it? :-)

So your freshman year was her senior year, it sounds like.

We both received our BA's in 1997 and I received my MS in Education in 2002. We met in front of Humanities and got married up at Mohonk.

Founded in 1860 by Swedish settlers, Augustana College is a selective, independent college of the liberal arts and sciences, related to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

The 115-acre wooded campus in Rock Island, Illinois, is in the Quad Cities metropolitan area (population 350,000), on Interstate 80, approximately 165 miles west of Chicago, 230 miles north of St. Louis, and 176 miles east of Des Moines.

2,300 students from varied geographic, social, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. Student-to-faculty ratio is 13-to-one.

Nine out of ten faculty members at Augustana hold the highest degrees in their fields.


http://www.augustana.edu/

Quad Cities is the place I wanna be...

Where I can fly like the Eagle, Soar like the Eagle and be Free.........
This was some civic booster jingle tv station(s) played before the National Anthem before signing off....

I went to Knox, some 30 -40 miles away and got drunk in Davenport more than once......

Interviewed for a job at Knox before I got my current job in St. Louis.

Now McMurry University.

in beautiful springfield mass (okay a little sarcasm) but still a good college

a real "party school"

:puke:

then I went back in 2003 and graduated in 2004

Anderson Hall was probably under construction when you were there, am I right?

St. Joseph Missouri. True it's a state college, but I was taught by professors not grad assistants, and, the classes weren't crammed to the rafters.
I was a non traditional reentry student, which is polite speak for being an over the hill sobered up drunk who figured it out.

Currently enrolled at Old Dominion University for my MBA

And then on to Seattle University School of Law.

Ah, the good old days...

I'm looking forward to my 5th reunion next year!

I'm pushing myself like crazy to make sure I can do an Ivy when I go for my masters.

Good luck in any case. I made a ton of amazing life-long friends in college...a really great experience.

and LSU for law school. And yes, Ole Miss sucks!

Georgetown for grad school and now Morgan State University in Baltimore for grad school in a completely different subject. This is it. May can't come soon enough.

...Class of 1995.....Go Gauchos....yay.



Tikki

or as he called them, the 'Grouchos'.

Located in Statesboro, GA (yes that Statesboro. I know why they had the blues....it was a dry county when I was there).

I'm totally showing my age: I prefer the old logo (when I was in school there) - to the new logo -

Used to be the Chieftains, back when we had a real backetball team. You might remember this guy from the 1958 NCAA Championship game.

i met this awesome chick there too. :loveya:

For 2 degrees...still finishing up that second one...both at U.P.

Orange Bowl Bound Baby...FSU going down!!!

It used to crack me up when the local radio station would play the little "Happy Valley Wea--ther!" theme and then report that wind-chills were below zero.

FSU is SO going down!

It's so easy to win one of those things now that we wouldn't cheapen ourselves by even trying. That and the fact that we (GA Southern) played like a bunch of candy-ass girls (which I believe I could have done a better job myself and I'm pregnant).

Congrats ASU!

GSU won before I got there, sucked out loud when I was there (92-96) and then won after I left. I think they hate me! At least we beat Furman this year!

Univ. of WI-Madison (2 yrs)
Westminster Choir College (undergrad & masters in music)
Duke Divinity School (M Div)

:hi:

having lived there a long time.

It's now called The Master's College - by now it might be a U., I don't know.

Started at CCC, went to OSU, finished up at CSU...

In beautiful Winston Salem, NC. The only state supported school for the performing arts. Grades 7 through graduate school.

Can you imagine any state legislature today approving opening a state supported arts school?

Jessie Helms was ahead of the curve on this one. Before the school was chartered he fulminated about North Carolina not needing a school for, "tippy toe dancin'".

Also, graduate school at the St. Louis Conservatory of Music.

Grand Valley State University (MSW)

There are four from which to choose.
The Professor

:hi:

Undergrad: Lewis University (mid sized private uni about 30 miles south of Chicago)
Grad 1: Roosevelt University. Also mid-sized. Part of the City College system of Chicago.
Grad 2: DePaul
Grad 3: Kellogg School at Northwestern.

You know when i see this, it makes me think "Man i spent a lot of time in school."
The Professor

I was an undergrad engineering student at Nowthwestern,
until the spring of 1970.
The world seemed to shift that spring.

Roll, Tide! Roll!

Virginia Commonwealth University - grad school

Go Tar Heels!

GO SIOUX!!!

Law School - Lewis and Clark Law in Portland, Oregon.

GO BISON!!!!

You know what they say. Those that want to work on a farm go to NDSU. Those that want to own one, go to UND.

How's DI going?

Our men's basketball team has beaten Idaho State, Denver, Mississippi Valley State and Eastern Michigan so far. We played the Gophers close, and almost beat Drake. And I guess the Sue lost to Mayville State College in basketball recently. Too bad...:D

And we have thousands of engineer grads who make over $100,000 a year, just so you know.;)

I got both my undergrad and M.A. at UND.

Though they need to change that logo.

Don't let Moo U boy above me get to you.

The kids from Cow College never learn.

It seems like the folks at Underwear Tech are the ones who aren't so...

for my BA


Here for law school:

:shrug:

can't see em too clear on this little piccy, but I remember them as sheaves.

Pioneer Hall represent. :hippie:

I'm currently a student at the Center for Legal Studies.

edit: That's a strange misspelling. :rofl: Sorry 'bout that. I meant over-edumacated. :rofl:

:rofl:

That was a perfect typo!

:rofl:

:D

go Matadors!!!!

:rofl:

Their Majesties Royall Colledge, or some such 1693 Anno Domini-type spelling.

Graduated in 88 or 89.

Graduated in 1995 and just went back for my 10 year reunion.
I also got my M.A. from Tulane in 1997

in Arcata, CA.

Yes, THAT Humboldt.

Yes, THAT Arcata.

:hippie: :smoke:

It left me with an everlasting hatred of hippies and stoners.

for my masters and Emporia State University for my bachelors.

David Letterman's Alma Mater!

I can't count how many times this question has been asked in the lounge and this is the first time I've seen another BSU reply!

Somebody asked me if it was true about the plaque left by Letterman. They couldn't believe I've actually seen it!

:hi:

I also had several of the same profs that ole Dave had. Funny thing was that most of them had very few good things to say about Dave, until he started donating the big bucks, then he became a hero.

:nopity:

Did some graduate work.

Or were you a visiting member? If so, my condolences... I hope you weren't stuck w/us too long.

I earned my doctorate from TSOHK's 15 years ago and I'm STILL paying for it. :-(

Last Monday.

Now, I go to the University of Coborn's (grocery store). :cry:

How ya doing?

Considering.

Got myself a job now. I'm going to be working for the next couple of years, then I'm going to go back to college, majoring in what, I don't know.

How are things here? :hi: :pals:

Warwick's not far from my sister. (That's near the castle right?) Please forgive this geographically challenged American.

Check out this link. This guy's a friend of theirs.

www.cycleuktochina.com

Warwick Uni is actually in Coventry, but it sounds much better than "Coventry University." :)

But you're right - Coventry University doesn't have the same ring to it at all.

:hi:

aka "Cal"

:thumbsup:

It was a really cool experience. I love that place. :hi:

It was the only decent engineering school on the west coast that I could actually afford to get into :)

B.A 1981, M.A. 1983. God I miss it!

Didn't make it through highschool either. I did however take some 'mature' student night school classes and earned certificates in Human Resource Management & Supervision. I'm also qualified to teach AZ truck driver training. (CDL in the USA)

I studied at the School of Environmental Design.

Go Dawgs! Sic 'em! Woof, woof, woof!

Philosophy major.

Man I miss Athens...

I'm there right now in grad school. Doesn't it feel great to be the CONFERENCE CHAMPS!!

Auto repair? Or were you doing a whole sociological thing to see what hippies lived like?
The Professor

I wonder what's so alternative about it?

Also 2 years at Oakton Community College

I attended when Senator Paul Simon was teaching there.

Basically what I saw was completely incompetent policing that used tear gas and excessive force on entire crowds when there were only a few unruly people who could have been easily dealt with individually. But, the city fathers didn't like the yearly Halloween celebration and police brutality was the chosen method for shutting it down. Riots schmiots. A similar crowd in Chicago or any other large city would have been easily dealt with and never made news.

I have a whopping 4 credits to my name. :blush:

I went there for maybe six credits. Then went other places for more.

:hi:

GO COUGS!!!!

In Newark and the southern part of New Jersey. Mmm, many happy memories. :donut: :thumbsup: :) :popcorn:

in fact, I have to be back there for my Psych 550-Child Psychology class there at 930 am on Jan. 3

:rofl:

Go Bucks!

Go Big Red!

:)

what a waste of two years.

Did not graduate.

Subsequently graduated from a vocational school, though I can truthfully say it was actually an accredited college! Still just a vo-tech, though. Will people still respect me?

It's now Elon University. :(

also a year at Kansai Gaidai, Hiraka, Japan

(I've done summer programs at Northwestern, G'town and the Sorbonne.)

currently doing an MS at Johns Hopkins.

I was on an internship program in Washington DC and there were a lot of Colby students. This was in 1985.

Heaven.
;-)

BS in Political Science from MTSU (1972) & MPA from University of Tennessee (1976). Wha bout dem Vols? We've got ourselves a basketball team this year! Unfortunately we didn't have much of a football team.

Ending post before breaking into a chorus of Rockytop. :)

University of Tennessee at Chattanooga here, undergrad and grad. Don't YOU start singing Rockytop {{{finger poised over "ignore" button}}} :evilgrin:

GO BISON!!!

:)

Alzz I got to say in return is:

SIEG HEIL!!!

(Ralph Engelstad reference)

M.S. at University oof Illinois - Urbana/Champaign

When I go back to school.

Either NDSU or U of MN, Duluth.

Fightin' Blue Hens!

GO HENS!

a little engineering school in Indiana.

Kalamazoo Michigan. Home of the Broncos.

:woohoo: Banana Slugs, all the way, dude!!

Both my hubby and I went there.

Since it's nestled among 2,000 acres of redwood forest, it was also known as Uncle Charlie's Summer Camp, back in the day.
:hi:

Then Penn State - Great Valley for a webmaster's certificate, and maybe University Of Pennsylvania for more education next year. I'm 29, but it's always good to continue schooling - especially if you need more qualifications. I could become a music reviewer, but it wouldn't be as fun if it had the pressure of being your only job. Reviewing doesn't pay much unless you are well known like Ebert.

www.ursinus.edu

And a rate the professors page:

http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/SelectTeacher.jsp?sid=1394

I see that economics professors O'Neill, Economopolous, and Harris are still there. I could manage B-s from Economopolous, but could only get Cs from O'Neill and C+s from Harris. I had a different Bowers: got Cs from him until the last class, when I got a B. I like telling high school and college stories.

And I am working on a Master's at Boston University

:)

Wah Eagul!

Um, guess what year...

graduation this past spring???? One of my dearest friends is a diehard Auburn fan (she answers her phone on game days by picking up and not saying hello, but says War Eagle). As soon as I read he was speaking there I immediately called her, told her the situation and said two words to her: Roll Tide. She nearly fainted. :) Then got pissed and called the school......

which became a part of Johns Hopkins University while I was there.

I went to Mississippi State for my Master's and Doctorate

:shrug:

For hopefully both of my degrees (wonderful public/contract archaeology program designed for the Midsouth).

Alma mater of Garth Brooks (ick). But also Anita Hill (yay!)

...Then on to Vanderbilt for my masters

Then much later......El Camino Community College for my LVN.....

And West Los Angeles College for my RN.....

UConn for my MA and PhD.

Er...almost finished ;)

Oberlin and DU seem to be a perfect match (other than Michelle Malkin)

of course

Upsala College. They closed due to financial problems a couple years after I dropped out, so maybe they could have really used my tuition money. :D

I didn't do well as one of Jerry's kids... :evilgrin:

The Medill School of Journalism.

Sorry, i just had to! I went to Kellogg.
The Professor

Sorry, I just had to.

:hi:

The Professor

lovely campus, great experience.

those were the days

I got deferred :/. I think I'm going to set up an alumni interview and send some more recommendations.

Early apps must be up like crazy this year. The #2 kid in my class was deferred as well.

it always manages to fly under the radar. the ivies get all the glory but when you graduate chicago you emerge TRULY educated. have you visited the school? interviews are important.

good luck.

I live in Florida, so my mom wants me to go when it's really cold. She doesn't think I can handle it!

but most of the first class schools are in areas with miserable winters(with the exception of stanford and UCLA)...you get used to it. what other schools did you apply to?

I spent four years undergrad at Cal Poly, but matriculated at UC Davis when I went to vet school, so my undergrad BS degree is from UC Davis. I wish I did graduate from Cal Poly, though, because I really liked that school. It's totally underrated. And I miss all the friends I had there that I lost touch with.

If you know where that is, you're a Bronc.

AARRRGGGHHH Pirates.

I can't believe that I'm first NYU graduate to respond.

Amazing! Talk about a hotbed of liberalism!

College of Notre Dame of Maryland (CONDOM).

Yep. Boca Raton...

Hoot.
