Where did/do you go the college?

[Ava]

Just curious where all our loungers went to college/university

[datasuspect]

1. Pontiac State

Prison

[Richardo]

2. UCLA, BA PoliSci 1978

70s-era mascot:





:hi:

[Ava]

4. UCLA is one of the schools i'm looking at

i just don't see myself as the LA type but considering i want to go into film it is the perfect play to attend school for internships and job offers. ;) :hi:

[Richardo]

5. You got that right.

You'd like it - it's still a very activist campus. :patriot:

[Ava]

7. it is definitely somewhere i'm looking into applying

but the top of my list of california schools is berkeley..

USC is a great school but it's private, hard to get into, and unless i get a scholarship there is now way i could afford it... i'm going to have to get some financial help though to any out of state school because the fees are higher for us out of state kids than the residents ;)

[Flaxbee]

43. I'd avoid USC if I were you ...

I like the UC schools just because there aren't as many spoiled rich prats there -- USC tends to be full of the sons and daugthers of alumni, and for some reason, that just bugs the shit out of me.

I went to UCSD undergrad, UCLA grad; UCLA is also in a MUCH nicer part of town - Westwood - generally safer, and with easy access to the part of LA that I came to love (Santa Monica, Brentwood, etc.)

My brother in law went to UCLA undergrad and Berkeley for his (second) graduate degree -- he loved them both.

Good luck with your choices! LA isn't as superficial as you might think - especially not if you're attending university.

[Ava]

50. i guess as a small town southerner i just have a sort of media warped view of LA

i'd love to be in a bigger town but more of an artsy community within a big town or somewhere that has that. to me LA seems plastic but i'm sure that a majority of that is due to how media portrays the city.

UCLA is a great school though

[JSK]

85. USC =

University of Spoiled Children

[Kerrytravelers]

168. Not quite. My dad, Air Force mechanic and later postman and my mom, secretary, aren't wealthy, and

I earned a BA and my Master's there. Sterotyping and insulting others isn't cool.

[laconicsax]

88. Descendants of USC alumni get cheaper tuition

[Kerrytravelers]

169. That is the case in many universities. Often, children will get preference, too, but it isn't just

USC or private schools. I've know others who have taken the so-called legacy entry into other univerisites, too.

[Kerrytravelers]

167. Wow. That is really sterotyping there. ANd quite insulting to USC graduates.

I earned my BA and MA at USC, but I don't disparage other schools. I am hardly a rich, spoiled brat.

[Nevilledog]

277. USC was a fantastic college.

I am the only member of my immediate family to have attended college, my parents were definitely not middle class and I was accepted and received a full-ride scholarship...without having to jump through a lot of hoops. What was so fantastic about USC was that once they accepted me THEY gave me the scholarships (several of them at the same time) without me having to apply for them separately. If you want to trade insults about our alma maters I have quite a few I could share with you.

[Awsi Dooger]

316. Agreed, USC was terrific

It gets a bad rap based on location. I drove past it on a family trip a few years before college and dismissed it, then the more I evaluated everything it seemed like the ideal destination for me, and I knew I had made the right decision the first day on campus. The camaraderie was unlike anything I've known, before or since. And the relatively compact campus was a big plus. I could get anywhere within minutes and if you needed to find someone, just hang out in front of Tommy Trojan or the VKC steps and there was a good chance they'd pass by fairly soon.

I had some scholarship money provided initially, but other sources were recommended. One trick that always worked was applying again after fall term ended. Naturally there were drop outs after fall term so money alloted to them for spring was suddenly available, and I got my share. :)

[Mike03]

91. USC grad here.

It was horribly expensive. I never could have gone there without the help of my parents, who I can never thank enough for helping me.

USC was hard, but it was the best experience of my life.

[Kerrytravelers]

170. USC grad here, too.

BA in 98 and MA in 04. :hi:

PSSSTTTT... apparently, you and I are completly rotten, spoiled rich kids. Who know?????? :shrug:


:rofl:

[Mike03]

232. Nice to meet you!!

Thanks for posting. It really makes me happy to meet some one else from USC.

I graduated in 1986 from the Cinema division.

Please stay in touch if you can.

I'm having some bad medical problems right now, or I would write more. It's so cool to meet you.

Take care...

Mike

[XemaSab]

315. The film school at USC is really good

Hard to get into, but you'll make really good contacts there.

I don't know much about UCLA, other than that it's a good school, and I'm sure there are opportunities there too. :shrug:

LA... people either love it, hate it, or both at the same time. Don't do hard drugs or party too hard and you should be okay. :)

2 things I gotta say:

Don't be afraid to start out somewhere and then transfer later.

Also, if you're going to major in film, have a double major AND plan on grad school. It's a competitive field, and talent isn't always rewarded justly. :(

[huskerlaw]

45. If you end up in LA, look me up!

I'd be happy to show you around!

:hi:

[Ava]

52. will do

btw, i've decided to take the SAT and subject tests in May.. thanks for the advice :hi:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. welcome

:hi:

[soleft]

35. I told you that my son is going there, right?

he just registered for a class that I took 23 years ago and he has the same professor. I wonder if he'll remember me.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

59. really? which class? i didnt even knwo you had a son.

[soleft]

63. it's a summer film class

it used to be called Sight and Sound, I think it still is. It's really awesome because for 5 or 6 weeks you go to class all day five days a week. On one day you make your movie. On three of the other days you help people in your crew make their films. On the fifth day you edit. That's in the morning. In the afternoon everyone screens their movies. it's a blast, and I know he will absolutely love it.

If you want to check out some of his movies you can see them here. They're all very short, two or three minutes. I think the Licence Plate is my favorite.

But...razorbacks are sort of cute too! ;)

UGA V didn't like Auburn Tigers:


SI's best college mascot cover dawg, UGA V:

86. No, no, no.

Santa Cruz has the best mascot:



Banana Slugs

[CottonBear]

222. Cute and unique but a bit slimey. My beloved UGA is still my fave

;)

[mitchum]

94. What???

I'm a USC graduate and whenever a coworker who is a UGA graduate would razz me about the Gamecocks, I would reply
"My mascot is a beautiful creature who fights to the death
and
your mascot is a beast that lies in the dirt and licks its privates"
:) :) :)
Obviously, that was all in fun; I'm currently working on a degree from UGA

[CottonBear]

221. LOL! You've gotta love being a Cock! Go Cocks!

Or as we Bulldogs say when we play USC: Beat those Cocks! ;)
Are you still in Athens? We're having a GA DU meetup in Atlanta next Saturday? :hi:

[mitchum]

229. Still here...

would love to meet up with you guys, but I will still be swamped with classwork (both my own and that of my students) Grrrr.... no rest (or spring break) for the wicked :(

[mike_c]

107. I went to grad school at UGA from 1989 until 1995 and still have family...

...and friends living in Athens so I try to get back every couple of years. I loved my time in Athens. What a wonderful town!

My dad got his PhD at UGA, and now I'm doing the same thing, although in a different major.

[CottonBear]

224. Hi! The Bulldog Nation rules!

Are you living in the Athens area? I see you're a tenor. I'm going to see La Traviata tomorrow night at the classic center. Three singers from the Met in NYC will be performing!
:woohoo:

[GaYellowDawg]

258. Yes it does!

I'm over close to Cedar Shoals. I've got one of those voices that is better than average but not good enough to ever be professional - you know, the guy who gets the solos when the vocal majors aren't trying out. :eyes: I envy you La Triviata - I couldn't fit it into a grad student budget! I hope you have a great time and you should send me a message with a review!

On edit: I love Verdi, but I can't ever hear his name without flashing back to Victor Borge saying "Giuseppe Verdi - Joe Green to you."

I'm trying to graduate by June but might have to stay for another year. They want to disallow some of my pre AA credits. Probably to get more fees out of me.

72. Hello, fellow Aztec!

I miss San Diego. I used to live on Adams Avenue in Kensington, right down from the Ken Theater (is that still there?).

I was there last October visiting friends. I may be out again in 2010 to attend a professional conference.

Good luck with your studies. Perhaps I shouldn't say this, but my last semester at SDSU I had a full load and paid $80 and some change in tuition. Times have sure changed!

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[Cadwallader]

89. 80 dollars?

were the friars teaching here then? Was that like, 1902?
:) Over 3k just in base fees this year.Not counting around 800 for books and other crap

ps the convention center is nice, it's right near the ballpark if you get bored. And the Gaslamp district is right there too. Good place for the seminar/conference
I work with a banquset co that does gigs there.

My bad. I was thinking of a different school known that I've also heard referred to by the same nickname. :blush:

Looks like a cool campus, though :hi:

[supernova]

30. UNC-Greensboro

Founded at the end of the 19th Century, it used to be the "North Carolina Normal and Industrial School for Women." That's a long-winded way of saying it was a kind of finishing school for teachers. :P

But in 1963 (IIRC) it turned coed and became part of the UNC campus system. It has since gone on to become a great place for learning teaching and education (still), theatre arts, English and writing. My former advisor in the English Dept is now a former poet Laureate of NC. :-) There is a good business school too, but I wasn't crazy about that. There's plenty of time to learn business. I don't think you have to go to school for it, unless you want to study something like Economics.

It's great for campus life too. All kinds of people, lots of artsy types because while UNCG has an athletics dept, sports ARE NOT the primary draw they are in other places. But the soccer team has been pretty great over the years. In fact, UNCG and UNC Asheville are the schools with the nerdy reps among the UNC system.

My sister went there as an adult (BA Phsych/Business Admin), me (English Literature & Rhetoric), my niece (Busines Admin -- I think) , and now my nephew is a sophmore there. Not sure what he will major in.

edit: History footnote: Women from UNCG (then "Women's College") lent their support and participated in the Greensboro lunch counter sit ins alongside their A&T and Bennett College (small historically black women's college) neighbors. http://www.crmvet.org/tim/timhis60.htm

34. Antioch College

Antioch College in Yellow Springs Ohio. A great, funky, activist-supportive, good learning environment little school, where I got to study biology with some in small classes with prof's who really knew their stuff. :) :hippie: :bounce: :loveya: :grouphug:

Unfortunately, it has struggled financially ever since the 1970's. When I attended in the early '90's, it seemed to be on the mend, and even expanded in meaningful ways. Now, I hear it's on the verge of bankruptcy again. :-(

...And I assume that this is the result of the Antioch-University expansion (multi-campuses across the country) which appears to have been mismanaged by corporatist bureaucrats who cared little for the gem of a college that started the whole thing. :argh: x( :mad: :grr:

[MnFats]

134. does antioch still have that policy concerning sex among students?

the idea that one must get clear, verbal authority to move on to the next step?

I'm not making that up.

[appal_jack]

252. I imagine that they do...

That 'sexual offense policy' was developed while I was studying there. There was one semester during which something like three rapes and/or date-rapes happened (on a campus that had ~400 students on it any given semester) and so a policy was created (by students mostly) that stated that students had to 'talk things through' as they got sexually involved. There was no implied consent that would be officially recognized in a date rape case thereafter.

It was satirized widely, including a pretty funny SNL skit where the boy would ask 'can i hold your hand' in a wooden voice, then wait until the girl replied 'yes, you can hold my hand,' in equally wooden tones before doing so. Despite these rather easy (ha - pun not originally intended) jokes, I think that the policy is basically a good idea, though not without its problems. For me (straight white guy who was raised catholic), the times at Antioch were good, and I had some great romantic relationships with women that involved not only wonderful sex, but also some substantive communication and emotional connection. Problem is, the rest of the world is not Antioch. Out here in the big world, guys are expected to chase women, and not to take every hesitancy on her part as a cue for me to back off. I have found in my adult life that some of the catholic nonsense of childhood and adolescence (i.e.- sex is sinful - a worldview I have shaken intellectually yet it still seems to permeate somewhere deep down), combined with the caution drilled into me by the Antioch years (i.e.- keep awareness high to avoid assuming or going further than she wants to) causes me to avoid romantic endeavors more than I really would like to. Combine this with my natural shyness around women I find attractive, my pickiness about whom I find attractive, and the fact that I work too much and play too little in order to make ends meet, and I have spent way-too-much of my post-college life unattached.:-(

Probably more info than you wanted, but there it is.

280. Have sad news for you -- Antioch is closing in July.

It's closing next year, after all.

Link to local news story (and I hope this works, I have been link-challenged lately):
http://www.daytondailynews.com/n/content/oh/story/news/local/2008/02/22/ddn022208antiochweb.html

Snip:

<<YELLOW SPRINGS — After two days of meetings in Los Angeles, Antioch University trustees said Fri., Feb. 22 they reaffirmed their original June 2007 decision to close the college for a year after negotiations failed with the Antioch College Continuation Corporation, or ACCC, which wanted to take over the school and create its own board of trustees.

Many Antioch College students and faculty who gathered in McGregor Hall on campus Friday were stunned and angry at the news that trustees decided to close the school in June as originally planned.>>

This is truly sad. When they first announced the closure, they said they were no longer attracting enough top students, and that Antioch could not compete with larger schools. There was also a very big dust-up involving WYSO a few years back that was very bad PR and left behind a lot of hard feelings.

I went to the University of Dayton, myself, but I always thought Antioch was a neat school, and Yellow Springs, a neat town. My conservative father used to get a kick out of driving up to Yellow Springs in the 1960s to gawk at the "hippies." :D I am so afraid for what this closure means to Yellow Springs, which has such a unique ambiance, which is solely attributable to Antioch.

[SallyMander]

281. I thought they'd gotten together enough $$$ to keep it afloat!

I'd heard that a little while back -- but this looks like another switcheroo. What a bummer. :(

That's why people are so angry. They feel like they were lied to.

[racaulk]

68. Don't you laugh at my school mascot!!!

:P

To answer your question, catamount is a broad term that encompasses wild cats that are indigenous to mountainous regions, like a bobcat, lynx, or cougar. I believe the term is derived from the phrase "cat of the mountain," or cat-a-mountain. My school adopted the catamount as its mascot because wild cats roamed that area of the Appalachians for centuries, although they are quite rare now.

Here's an example:

A very fine school with an incredible community of scholars and, yes, some of the best years of my life were spent there.

[abq e streeter]

288. Me too, '68-'70, though didn't ultimately get my degree there...

but when I think of college , I think of Knox. I remember your post about seeing the Ramones at Harbach Theater, and mentioned seeing Arthur Conley and Alice Cooper in the gym... I regretted very much having personal and family circumstances that required moving on from there; have always wondered how different my life would have been had I done all 4 years there. Oh well...PM me anytime fellow Siwasher ( oops, I mean Prairie Fire). Also, if you get the alumni magazine, you probably know that former Clinton Chief of Staff ( and CEO of the Center for American Progress) John Podesta is a Knox alum...class of '71 ( he actually was a friend--and a Psych major, not political science like you'd assume) . I'm guessing that he had a hand in getting the past 3 commencement speakers: Barack Obama, Steven Colbert, and Bill Clinton---not bad for a little college in the cornfields of western Illinois... I'll be passing through the Burg on Amtrak on Tuesday; always bittersweet seeing the old campus, for reasons I mentioned above. It was a wonderful school back then and I'm guessing that it still is.

Jesuit school, and a very good one, I must say. The Jesuits are big on education, AND really emphasize thinking for yourself. I had many debates with my professors, and that's what they loved.

...but then, a lot of decisions I made at 17/18 seem silly, in retrospect. Cornell was a fine place overall. Good times were had. Knowledge was gained. Etc. Twenty years on, I don't feel much of a connection to the kid I was then. Anyway, I still have much knowledge to gain.

[Muttocracy]

130. Cornell University + Univ of MN

That was sailing back when you really had to be made of some strong stuff.

[Dora]

71. BA Arizona State University, MFA University of Texas at Austin nt

[Mugu]

73. BS and MBA from NIU. n/t

[Hand]

243. Never studied there, but...

I was a state employee at NIU for a year (1975-76). Didn't like the job (classic civil service--lots of ass kissing and intimidation), but liked getting into Chicago on the weekends for stuff like a HUGH Monet exhibit at the Art Institute.

And of course, it's been in the news lately... :cry:

[NewWaveChick1981]

76. UNC-Chapel Hill.

Started in 1981 and graduated in 1985. I got a BA in psychology there. I also got a BS in Management and an M.Ed. in Higher Education Administration at UNC-Greensboro. I've worked at colleges and universities since 1985 and love it.

[Cabcere]

157. Go Tarheels!

:hi: My mom graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in the late 70s, and took me back there for a visit when I was college-hunting. Beautiful campus! :hi:

[fight4my3sons]

78. SUNY New Paltz

BA in Sociology 1997

MS Education 2001

also went to Radford 1990 for a short time after high school, but was not really ready for college yet. I didn't go to class and basically just wasted my dad's money. I spent my time at Dead shows and Rainbow Gatherings. When I did return to college later on I paid my own way.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

81. I haven't gone yet, obviously, but I'm hot over UChicago.

:D

[rockymountaindem]

131. Home of the Neocons?

Too bad, since U of C kicks fucking ass in pretty much everything. :P

:hi:

[mitchum]

233. Also the ever charming Milton Friedman and Allan Bloom...

unfortunately, U of C is kinda like Pepperdine with shitty weather

[WritingIsMyReligion]

235. But Michelle Obama's connected to it!!11!!1!elevens!

That redeems ALLLLL.

:P

[JVS]

215. I'm not a big fan of that place. PM me if you want more details, but let's just say...

it's an island of gentrification in a sea of desperate poverty. It's kind of symbolic of what is wrong with our country where one block has perfect living and 6 blocks away things are totally fucked up.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

220. I've visted, and it seems fascinating, though Hyde Park is sketchy, yeah.

What I want most is top-notch education in a sea of like-minded folks, with a chance to see the world at large, and the University of Chicago seems like it could do just that. Many good minds have come from there. :D

[Dastard Stepchild]

266. Great place.

Got my Masters there. :)

[WritingIsMyReligion]

271. Cool!

I liked it much when I visited, especially the fact that the grad population is larger than the undergrad--to me that says a lot about its curriculum and its entrenchment in the educational field. Then you look and see how many famous people came from there, in all sorts of fields, and it really makes it come together well.

[harmonicon]

82. various

Northwestern University for my undergrad
California Institute of the Arts for my master's
University of Huddersfield (where I am now), in England, for a Doctorate (though I get paid whether or not I get the degree, so it's sort of a job too)

I really wouldn't put too much stake in what college reviews say. I could have gone to more exclusive schools, at least for my undergrad, but I wanted to live in Chicago for the lifestyle it offered, and was lucky to end up studying something that I loved. All schools have great professors - it's not a job that easily gets handed out to idiots - so if you're not sure how serious you are about one subject, go where you'll be happy/engaged/positively challenged in your living situation - just my 2 cents.

[Richard Steele]

83. I never did, Ava.

I graduated at 16, spent the summer hitch-hiking into Altoona
to watch movies, and then got a job at the shoe factory.

I don't regret the choices I've made, but I'll be the first to
say that they aren't for everyone.

188. Yes, a beautiful campus

and expensive, but I got in under the financial aid/grant thing and lived off campus.
I started there the year they made it co-ed.

[Adsos Letter]

95. Sonoma State University

[Thirtieschild]

96. University of North Texas now. North Texas State College then.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

164. Excellent school, especially in MUSIC!!!

I know several people who went there.
Besides, Denton is the home of the super talented, genre and style blender band BRAVE COMBO!!

The Little Chapel in the Woods at Texas Woman's University, also in Denton, is a fabulous and subversive little architectural gem. It was designed by O'Neil Ford, who also designed the Trinity U. campus in San Antonio.

It's subversive because all the images in the stained glass windows are women--except for a small man in a suit standing in a corner of the front window which is a 20th century woman and a child. It was finished in 1940. There are windows about dancing, nursing, social work and such. Each one has a quote from a famous woman in it. Eleanor Roosevelt came to town and spoke at the dedication. My mother told me about that. She was there.

[Thirtieschild]

207. Always has been tops in music

'Fessor and the Aces were in top form when I was there.

[theredpen]

[City of Mills]

99. LOL - can you explain this???

I never heard of this University so I googled...and I'm still lost!

[theredpen]

102. Really all I can say is...

Eh-y-ya-ya-yahaah - e'yayayaaaa... ngh'aaaaa... ngh'aaa... h'yuh... h'yuh... HELP! HELP! ...ff - ff - ff - FATHER! FATHER! YOG-SOTHOTH!...

If that doesn't clear things up, I'm not sure what will.

105. The University of Colorado at Boulder.

Actually, I went to three different schools. I just spent the most time at CU and got my degree from there as well.

[MassLiberal]

123. that is one pretty school!

I visited it with my daughter last spring.

[JTG of the PRB]

187. It's a gorgeous campus!

Probably the most beautiful in the country, at least in my opinion.

[x-g.o.p.er]

108. Flunked out of Ohio State

enlisted in the military, and went to school at night through Embry Riddle Aeronautical University to get my degree.

I am now one bloated, 60 page thesis full of BS from my Master's, a mere 22 years after my fresman year at OSU.

My college path is most certainly NOT recommended, lol.

[Cabcere]

156. I used to date a guy from ERAU

which is awesome, because now I can use the phrase, "I'm no rocket scientist...but I used to date one" and people think I'm cool. :P (Or something.) :hi: He graduated, but we're still pretty close friends.

Is that true? Did you learn to salute in your sleep as well?

[FalconsRule]

184. Obviously, what you heard is not true,

But we did have to eat at attention...

[mike_c]

111. George Mason University and the University of Georgia....

BS Biology 1989 from GMU and PhD Entomology 1995 from UGA. I got a good undergrad degree from GMU but I'd hesitate to recommend it for out-of-state folks. It's a good regional university but it primarily serves commuting students from the surrounding northern Virginia suburbs. On the other hand, grad school at UGA was one of the best experiences of my entire life and I'd do it again in a second if I could. UGA is a bit of a party school for undergrads, but of course it's a big university so the party school generalization is a bit too broad brushed-- there are LOTS of serious undergrads at UGA. It was an awesome grad school experience.

BTW I'm currently on faculty at Humboldt State University in Arcata CA. If you're interested in biological sciences at a truely liberal university this one is hard to beat.

[ileus]

Also took classes at Pitt for my teaching certification.

[Critters2]

133. Illinois State. Go Birds!

[Redstone]

137. I never attended college. Accepted to Harvard, but declined to go. My poor mother never

was able to get over her disappointment, Boston native that she was.

Redstone

[Lasher]

181. OK now, that makes me curious.

Why did you decide not to go?

[Redstone]

205. Well, they had three schools: Business, medicine, and law. I didn't want to be

a lawyer (which, upon further review, was a stupid thing to decide); I didn't want to be a doctor (and still wouldn't want to); and didn't want to be "a businessman" as I undertood the term back then.

So instead, this 17-year-old kid who "didn't want to be a businessman" went out and started his own business, for the first of many times.

Short version of the story: I was a moron. Especially because, since my parents didn't have any money, I'd have been able to get scholarship help with the costs.

Moral of the story: There are people in this world who seem like they're SO FUCKING INTELLIGENT because they do so well in school, who can make incredibly dumb decisions notwithstanding all the brainpower they seem to have. And I'm one of them.

Feel free to use this as a cautionary lesson for your kids, should the need arise.

Redstone

[Lasher]

208. Thanks Redstone, that's an interesting story.

But don't be so hard on yourself. You seem to have turned out OK.

You don't have a monopoly on indescretions of youth, trust me. I didn't know what to do either. I flunked out of college in 1968 and got drafted. That sucked. 10 years later I started back at nights while working full time supporting a family and finally got my Bachelor's degree some years later. Boy, you pay some heavy dues, working and going to college at nights.

A lesson learned is worth a thousand told.

[Redstone]

210. "A lesson learned is worth a thousand told?" I've never heard that before, but I'm glad

you wrote it. One of the very few aphorisms I've ever seen that actually makes sense. And a LOT of sense, at that.

Redstone

[Lasher]

213. I've remembered that one for many years.

Think it's of Asian origin but I don't know for sure. Might have seen it on an old Kung Fu episode.

[abq e streeter]

289. intelligent, but dumb decisions--and became a musician? ( talk about dumb decisions)

Hmm... why does that ring a bell?

[kath]

302. Eh, I have a good friend who went to Harvard undergrad, and was underwhelmed with the experience.

Felt it was a pretty uncaring place, and not all it's cracked up to be; thinks she would have been happier at a place where more attention is paid to undergrads.

[NewJeffCT]

203. a woman I knew was also accepted to Harvard, but didn't go

She decided to go to the Univ. of Connecticut instead to be with her boyfriend, whom she promptly dumped upon getting to school.

[Mike03]

234. Redstone, you are an amazing person.

I wish I knew some people who were more like you.

Take care.

It was called West Virginia State College when I graduated.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

206. Back before the dinosaurs turned to coal?

MA from WVU, 1986

[Lasher]

214. Yeah, pretty much.

Dirt is younger than I am. But WV State didn't gain university status until 2004.

I've got a couple of nephews attending WVU right now, one of them in law school. You didn't happen to watch any football last season, did you?

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

216. Well, the Pitt game was less-than-inspiring...

But after graduation, I attended Ohio State, so I got to be bitterly disappointed TWICE in one season.

[Lasher]

217. I couldn't bear to hear the word 'football' for 2 weeks after the Pitt game

But then the Fiesta Bowl game fixed that up for me.

My BIL is a rabid OSU fan. He had a national playoff game party at his house so we drove out to spend the night at his place. Party was good, game not so good.

He and I were hoping all season for an OSU/WVU playoff and we almost got there.

South Texas College of Law, J.D. Night school. Cranks out excellent real world trial lawyers.

Also went to the University of Houston as part of undergrad. Excellent State school. Had the best orchestra I've ever played in. Would you believe we played a Bartok ballet suite??? Talk about a brain strain!!!

I think I'm in the "work until just before you drop dead" program.

[FalconsRule]

202. Oh I work;

It's only just for 8 hours a day and at a better salary than the AF paid me.

One of my best buddies at my company is an '80 grad. He works in the Pentagon with me (when I'm at work there), he's a former U-2 driver

And did you like the school and curriculum? Just curious...

[Gonzo Gardener]

257. Yes, a BFA

w/ an emphasis in fiber arts/textiles.

I enjoyed my experience tremendously. SAIC has completely transformed from the small school that I attended between 1987-91 and is more amazing now than ever. I'd go back in a heartbeat!

238. boooo! roll tide!

i live really close to auburn.. but i'm a diehard 'bama fan ;)

[auburngrad82]

268. That's ok. I'm not a die hard fan

I actually had a scholarship to Tulane but figured if I went to school within walking distance of Bourbon Street I would flunk out. So I had the scholarship transferred to Auburn. I lived in Columbus, GA at the time (I'm an Army brat and the scholarship was a Navy ROTC scholarship).

[Jokerman]

279. Saint Joe's in Philly (for undergraduate degree)

Texas Tech for graduate school.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

292. What are your grad degrees?

I'm guessing engineering or ag.
My BA is history (Mexico, Caribbean, Central and South America with Spanish minor. Maybe I could have joined the CIA?)
I played with the idea of working at Tech after grad (I had a job lined up), then a year or so later, going on to UT for a masters in library science. Moved to FL instead and the rest is, well... history.

[JoePhilly]

293. Masters is in Experimental Psych ... Ph.D is in Human Factors ...

Human Factors (also known as ergonomics)is a combination of Psychology and Engineering ... in my case, mainly computer science engineering... but I minored in Industrial Engineering and in Industrial Organization Psych.

graduated 6 weeks before my 50th, with Honors, I might add:7

[FunkyLeprechaun]

247. I went to BU

Despite it being private, it was one of the top schools for disability services. Whenever I requested a CART or any other services I got it, just like that.

It was freaking hard for me.... very very high standards. They really do frown upon absences as well.

So I kept track of my absences and only took them when I needed to.

I do not believe anyone when they say BU was a party school... apparently it was a long time ago.

Known as "Cal" for short. Located in a little town you've probably never heard of called Berkeley. The school where my mother met my father. The school where my Nana was captain of the women's rifle team and my Papa studied agronomy when there were farms in Berkeley. Countless Uncles and Cousins, from across the political spectrum went there as well.

It was three years to get a degree because you only got 2 weeks off in the summer. We had about 250 Students. 40 Graduated in my class (1975). There was heavy attrition (Electrical Engineering took a toll). It's now part of the CSU system. Not when I was there.

I'm still in touch with a number of classmates. And a few Professors.
