What college Did you go to/Are going to/Want to go to?

[bird2rock]

i went to The University of Sheffield. (UK)

 

[Duke]

Home of British Steel...
:thumbsup:
I went to Lehigh University (home of Bethlehem Steel) for my first four years. Not a bad school but not as good as it thinks it is. They seem to have widenened the focus a little since I graduated; it's still one of the top engineering schools in the country, but now there are other reasons to go.

I got my Master of Architecture from Washington University in St. Louis. It was kind of surprising to move a thousand miles and still be surrounded by the same New Jersey- Jewish business school students that I had been on the east coast.

REALLY BIG DISCLAIMER: Note that there is nothing wrong with being Jewish, from New Jersey, or a b-school student. I was just expecting a different crowd than I had found at Lehigh (which is very close to central New Jersey).

Norwich University.

Over priced Education, at a very military campus.

On a somewhat off-topic question...I was an "older" student while attending, which gave me a different outlook on the curriculum. Seeing Tatinee's note about her getting the only perfect grade (Knowing she's about 23), I was wondering what others thoughts are about being old enough to learn the right stuff.

hey SR780....

i applied to Kettering (and got accepted), but i decided not to go. they only have engineering majors, and i think business. it seemed like a pretty good school, academically. but the social life down there wasnt pleasing to me (their male/female ratio is waked! its practically all guys). if i was a chick, i might have gone there, because i would have gotten a full ride. but having a dick, and all, they didnt give me as much scholarship money as i needed.

but they do have a strong Co-Op program, which is great for engineers. you start co-op your first year, and do it all 4. if u dont know what co-op is, its where u go to school one semestr, then work with a company in your field for another semester. its great for gaining real-world experience, and u often get a job offer from your co-op employer when u graduate.

When I began school, I was 22. I was not the oldest there by far, and the mid 20's seemed to be the average age of the students. But I know that if I had attended school earlier in my life, I would not have taken it as seriously as I did. I also had the benefit of being in the culinary field for about 5 years before I attended school. This was a big bonus. I was able to pick up on things much easier because I had a frame of reference to work from. Another advantage was having had a little more 'life' experience than I would have had if I had just gone straight to culinary school, right out of high school. Since I had been on my own since the age of 17, I was aware of what it takes to survive in the real world and new that I couldn't screw around while I was in school.

i go to the Haagsche Hogeschool, studying computer design.

 

[bigwhlkid]

i hope to go to PURDUE and get a degree in mechanical engineering and take some business and design classes so i could possibly get a job working for a indy car team or do design or engineering on production cars.

or possibly go to school for somntin that will get me a good payin job over at argone national laboratory.

Quite frankly, I don't know yet. I used to have aspirations to go to the Pasadena Art Center of Design, but have since rethought that stance and have shifted my focus to engineering. I think I would be quite content to simply make any of the UC schools here in California.

 

[Acid X]

I want to go to UTI. Universal Technical Institute in Texas... Thatd be so sick sick sick
