What college do you/ did you go to?

I'm hoping to go to Durham or St Andrews next year. Maybe the London School of Economics if I can track down ANY written information about them.

Maybe even Oxford, if I get the grades. Which I doubt.

The really, really ghetto one. Guess which? It starts with an "S".

Hey, Scarlem isn't that bad. I know some people who go to school there.

I just graduated from Ryerson myself, Bachelor's of Commerce degree. I have no idea what I'm going to do now, but I might end up going back to school come September if I can't find a job.

I'll be attending Binghamton University in the fall.

How is Ryerson (campus-wise)? I'll never get in, but I'd like to know what I'm missing.

Since it's downtown the campus is fairly small. It's basically between Yonge and Jarvis. You can pretty much get around the entire campus in 10 minutes, which is good. Whenever I go to other schools to visit I'm floored by how big it is. I went to CSULB with Hero and I was amazed that they had their own transit system just to get around the place.

On the other hand, its location is awesome because it's right in downtown Toronto. Being at the centre of Toronto makes it a very social place. Journalism and Fashion students have it best because there's so much to observe when on campus that they can use for their classes, although the bums begging for money at the Tim Hortons on campus is kind of unsightly. :p

I went to Wagner College on Staten Island (my hometown), which is only a mile from where I live. I lived on campus and had a great time, though very busy. Being a Music major and involved in 7 different music groups as well as running a Jazz Night, writing and arranging music, being in a few plays and being a dj at the radio station adds up.

But I didn't study toooooo much, to make up for lost time. ;)

Haven't found a steady job yet, (had a Security job for a few months, but it didn't work out) but I have made a few bucks doing a few gigs here and there. I'm planning to go back to school for my Masters, which will at least let me teach at the collegiate level, if all else fails.

me on the other hand, have not had my own bike yet, just ridden and have had way too much fun for it to not change my life. i know what im getting myself into, clearly i feel it's worth the risk. still, come my first accident, im done. like i said, all i can do is hope for the best.

I was contempltating learning how to ride and getting a bike but with my luck I KNOW that I'd kill myself or end up a quaraplegic, so I'll just stick to virtual riding.

I got a BA in History from Monmouth University in New Jersey. It was a decent school but I never really intended to go there. The school itself was nice and most of the classes I had were fine. My only gripes were that the history department was very small and the classes offered in my programme were not as diverse as I would have liked. Also, the location of the school was rather undesirable. I only ended up going there because it was a last minute thing and it was near where my parents lived. Still, I have no complaints or regrets. I learned quite a bit and I am proud of having seen it through. :)

Got my BS in Computer Science back in '98 from Northeastern Illinois University. I made the mistake of minoring in Physics and unfortunately many of the teachers in the program took their classes seriously :(. I'll be sure to never do that again...
