Where did YOU go?

The University of St Andrews. The oldest university in Scotland, and the third oldest in Britain after Oxford and Cambridge. It was full of rich ex-boarding-school rugby-playing wankers. And Prince William is there (after my time, thank ****). It's small, cold, wet and riddled with rich golf-playing American & Japanese tourists.

Wow, that's really neat. I have a friend who's thinking of college abroad. Of course, St. Andrews is very selective, so she's also applying to Aberdeen.

But I forget which one has a cab company that picks the students up if they're drunk and can't drive home. Do you know?

After doing so well academically that I was able to leave Holy Cross High School in the tenth grade I received the coveted GED diploma which I used 10 years later to attend the prestigious Pitt County Community College for one year before realizing that it interefered with my real world "College of Musical Knowledge" studies....and dropping out. I have never regretted it.....

I earned my bachelor's at The Colorado School of Mines, and my master's at Lamar University, Beaumont, Texas.

What I disliked about college was that there was never enough time to do the work as well as I wanted to. It was always do it just good enough to get by, before rushing on to the next thing, that would be done just good enough to get by....

As long as your friend is rich, she'll be fine. The quality of teaching and facilities there is excellent. I just didn't like most of my fellow students. Aberdeen is also a fine establishment.

As for the taxis, I'm not sure! Sorry.

Excuse my dumbness Jim, but does the Colorado School of Mines specialise in disciplines relevant to mining? I have to ask...

when I graduated they made ne sign,under oath, that I would never reveal that I had attended their fine educational institution. I uphold that oath.

I went to an itybity state college in NewHampshire. It was previously a women's teching college, but when I went it was fully normalized (grin). It was set in a 'quaint' former mill town with loads of brick buildings and was very near to MA and VT. What did I hate about college in general? Or my specific college? I hate the dorm thing. I was put into a too-small room with a stranger who I had nothing in common with. Yuck.

Grand Duke - we started off as a mining school back in the 1870s. Slowly other branches of engineering were added. I graduated in Chemical Engineering. Since then, they've added Mechanical, Electrical and Civil.

Goucher College, 1960. When I graduated it was a woman's college. In the '80's Goucher went coed to compensate for the highly intelligent women who were now acceptable in the Ivy League schools.

Women's colleges are not as essential now as they were in the '50's, but I regret their passing.

I didn't have much of a choice about where to go. There were only 12 colleges who would admit 15 year olds and my mother (Hollins, '28) was passionately committed to small, liberal arts, woman's colleges.

One of my happy memories of my years at Goucher. I was 17 and a junior. An 18 year old freshman charged into a group of about 8 of us--assorted classes-- fulminating about her New Discovery. She had a 16 year old classmate! Horrors.

Everyone started to laugh at her. She flew off the handle and started screaming, "All right. Which one of you is too young to be here?!"

University of Missouri - Columbia. GO TIGERS!

I actually attended summer school there between my Jr and Sr year of high school and picked up Psych 1 and Fiction class (6 credits) before going back to high school for my Sr year. Followed the next summer, after graduating with a summer session at Un. of OK - Norman. Then went back to MU for the next 3 1/2 years.

What was the worst part?

THE FRIGGIN HEAT!!! Neither schools had air conditioned dorms open for summer session. When I returned to MU for my "real" college years I made sure I was in a private air conditioned dorm!

My sister and I spent more time in the showers those summers than class/work/study combined. Even that was little relief.

Boy, it was hot!!!



The rest was a blast!

Yeah, my cousin went to Smith, though. Geez, I'd miss the boys.



Heh.

Respiratory degree from Macomb Community College.

Working on teaching degree through Wayne State Community College. I'm a very old schoolgirl. Sigh.

Go Warriors!

I attended the prestigous State Univeristy of New York in Potsdam earning a Bachelors in Biology and Secondary education. I then went to Elmira University and received a Master degree in adult education.

I now work in the computer field where i make enough money to pay on my student loans...

jesusgirl--

Good to see you!

I don:t know so don:t tell me.

Don Bosco College, midst the rolling hills and smilling valleys of Sussex Co., NJ. (Home of the Fighting Philosophers!)

And last, what did you absolutely hate about college?
The dress code.

Hi Noddy!

JG...holding dominion.

I got my bachelor degree from a tiny private college in southern Illinois called Principia College. They are rated right after Princeton (alphabetically).
My master's degree is from the University of Kansas.
AFTER receiving my master's degree I went back to the local Junior College to get an associate degree in equine studies, but the College dropped the program 2/3 of the way through my coursework so I never completed it.

What did I hate about College: the occasional egotistic professor who couldn't teach, and/or gave grades randomly.
