Wow, Thande. Say hi to Professor Hawking for us.
I created this board so nitpickers could post what colleges they attended.
I'll give you a hint: mine produced such luminaries as Sam Huff and Don Knotts.
Go Banana Slugs!
I went to the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in Manhattan. I majored in cartooning and illustration, and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in 1994. For those of you who are into comics, I studied under Carmine Infantino, Joe Orlando, Klaus Janson, Walt and Weezie Simonson (Walt was the teacher, but Weezie also came into class often), and Sam Viviano for caricature.
University of Georgia (graduating at the end of the summer).
For those who don't know who the Banana Slugs are, they are from UC Santa Cruz.
Oh, I also did a couple of years undergrad at Washington University, St. Louis, and about 5 years grad work at Cal State Northridge (the Earthquake interrupted my masters, and I never finished).
I'm currently an undergraduate at Cambridge.
Undergraduate (English major, that I not have a practical degree) at Southern Oregon University.
Grad work (Communication Studies, that I go incredibly into debt and still not have a practical degree) at University of Portland. It is fun to be an atheist at a private Catholic university.
Undergraduate (Honours Political Science, first degree ('04), Mathematics and Statistics, second degree ('05)) at Acadia University.
In the fall I'm starting a Masters in Applied Mathematics and Statistics at Acadia.
SCottn, I was at Northridge Cal State, 84...before the quake...
the 47s tm, what high school did you go to? I was class of '84 at UCSC.
Undergrad: Whitman College
Masters: Purdue University
Hey Merat, GO DAWGS!!! My sister is at UGA right now too.
I just graduated (December 04) from Georgia State University with a BA in Film and Video Production.
In about two weeks, I'll be finished with my BA in Creative Writing. The bestower of this wonderful degree? Oberlin College.
I'm an undergraduate senior at Grand Valley State University, Michigan. In two years, I'll be at a graduate school somewhere, so wish me luck (although my ideal choice would be to attend Grand Rapids Theological Seminary and pursue Christian education/ministry--see how the 'ol pocketbook is holding up, I guess).
My first 2 1/2 years, I went to Potomac State College in Keyser, W.V., as a Pre-Engineering major; I also went to James Rumsey Voc. Tech. Ctr. in Martinsburg WITH some classes at Shepherd College in Shepherdstown, W.V., in the Electronics Technology program from late 1985 through early 1988; that summer, I took a class titled "Life in the Universe" from the Astronomy dept. at the University of Maryland at College Park; and from mid-1993 through December 1996, I majored in Computer Programming and Information Systems, again at Shepherd College, FINALLY graduating with a BS from Shepherd in 1997.
Mike, I think I may actually have been down to Potomac State one weekend from Morgantown. Keyser I know is the hometown of my all time favorite baseball player, John Kruk. Never been to Shepherdstown, though I've heard plenty about it.
I graduated from Brigham Young University nearly two years ago with a BS in accounting and masters in tax (yeah, I'm not dull or boring in the least...)
Brain, yes, I should have said. I think students are contractually obligated to shout "Go Dawgs!" whenever they mention UGA (Go Dawgs!).
Undergraduate sophomore at Rice University, majoring in physics. Currently immersed in the world of boring undergraduate labs. (Look, everyone! Beta decay is a stochastic process! Who knew?)
Advanced congratulations, Merat and Sparrow.
Wow, Thande. Say hi to Professor Hawking for us.
I haven't seen him around yet, even though my college is just down the road from where he usually works. There is another, not dissimilar looking wheelchair bound professor around, though: I bet he must get tired of people thinking he's Hawking.
A message has been removed at the request of the poster.
Graduating from Carson-Newman College this Saturday (YAY) and attending graduate school at East Tennessee State. I doubt too many of you have heard of either.....
Duke of Earl Grey, there was a star golfer from BYU a few years back who happened to have the same moniker as me . . .
Mercyhurst College, majored and mastering in Intelligence Analysis. Intelligence as in information, not psychology.
Intelligence, as in CIA, cloak-and-dagger, spy type stuff?
Is this a scary new tactic by Darth Pah Armus?
Started at Kennesaw State University, transfered to Georgia State University. Majored in Film and Video Production.
While you are correct in assuming Darth Pah Armus is into the Operations aspects of Intelligence, what I do is analysis, (think The Sum of All Fears)
Even though I like to think of it as a "former life" I suppose I should mention that I graduated from the University of North Texas with a degree in Computer Science which I never used for anything. But I do like to mention that it was the alma mater of Roy Orbison, Pat Boone, Lou Marini (from the Blues Brothers' band), Don Henley, Thomas Haden Church ("Lowell Mathers" on Wings), Peter Weller (RoboCop), and more recently Norah Jones. They also filmed a movie called Necessary Roughness there in the early '90s.
These days I'm learning Arabic at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California.
BA in English (journalism) at Baruch College, City University of NY. Also took courses at Queens College (CUNY) toward a bio degree, but ran out of $$. So now I'm putting all that education to great use as a medical biller for a hospital!
I thought you were a dancer/ dancing student, Margie. Or is that just a passion you indulge on the side?
For anyone still in college, does anyone have a Facebook account?
I do; give me yours first and I'll email you.
uh oh, I think I emailed the wrong Mike last night.
I got some 'splainen to do!
Yeah, dancing is something I do for exercise and fun. It's a great way to beat stress too
Yes, I'm on Facebook.
Freshman year 82-83 at the University of Delaware, where I failed Honors Rocket Science (they call it Aerospace Engineering). Transferred to the University of Maryland, College Park, 83-85 where I, like Mike Brill, took "Life in the Universe" (which inspired me to reinvestigate faith and God and Christianity) and also was one of only three people to ever take Kathleen Jamieson's final exam in "Television and Politics". Dropped out of school for a year, and finished with my BS in Communications at Millersville University in Pennsylvania (Insert joke: You know what's near Millersville? Corn. You want to know what's near the corn? More frickin' corn!) in 1988.
Master of Divinity, Princeton Seminary, 1999. Ordained June, 2000.
And compared to most of y'all, I feel like an old man. Now get off my lawn, ya damned kids!
Eh, you're a young'un. My Freshman year was 80-81 at Washington University St. Louis.

Polls forgot to mention that he's currently taking classes at Nitcentral majoring in political science and philosophy.
I will be attending Western Michigan University's graduate school for a masters in public history starting this fall.
I am also on Facebook.
Woo hoo! I graduated!
Congratulations! Are you going to go for your Masters, or get a job? Did you manage to scrounge the $$ for graduate school? (Or both?)
I'm currently getting my masters in Aerospace engineering, no, I don't have a job yet, and no, I didn't find any money for it. I'm leaving finding money up Torque, Son of Keplar.
Graduate level Fluid Mechanics and Continuum Mechanics are the courses I'm taking this semester. I kept it to two to make sure I wasn't overloaded if I actually found a job.
(Hard part is finding a job that's close by to the University. Hard to work an 8 hour work day and be at class at 4:30pm if the job's too far.)
And yes, I know I used 3 2's. A tounge twister doesn't work well in typed form.
I did not go to college. I barely made it through high school. But I happen to think I'm fairly intelligent.
I have no interest in going back to school, either.
Clover Park Technical College in Lakewood, WA. Yeah, I've never heard of it, either. :-)
