Awesome town

[mysuzuki2]

30. I had a good time there in the 60s and 70s. I used to hang out

in a bar called the Shamrock. Actually, I had too much of a good time in some ways. I ended up having to transfer to U of I in 1968 due to an unfortunate misunderstanding regarding the daughter of one of the administrators. The incident was apparently forgotten and I was able to go back for grad school in 1970.

No J Crew at the time, but rumor had it that students used more water SHOWERING than any other school!! VERY CLEAN repugs!

Later B. Clinton pollster, Stan Greenberg, was there when I was, as was later repug congress member Mike Oxley. Sarbanes-Oxley, OF COURSE! He retired in '06.

[Charlemagne]

38. "FIRST EVER student to take JUNIOR YEAR ABROAD! "

That is sort of a big deal as they pride themselves in their study abroad programs. There was even talk (about 5 years ago) among the university admin that studying abroad should be mandatory for juniors.

Well done!

[elleng]

39. Thanks. I think its a big deal too,

but at the time I just wanted to get the heck out of Oxford, OH! Went to Dean of Women, who was very receptive. Hooked up with Experiment in International Living, and there I was, Nottingham! And then, of course, I sure as heck wasn't going to come home after one measly semester, so I stayed, studied a bit and traveled.

I am very grateful to Knox. I received an incredible education and developed abilities that have made me a very good living for the last 25 years. I received a great deal of financial aid from them, enough so I only had $5,000 in Student Loan debt when I graduated.

[csziggy]

69. My grandmother and her two brothers graduated from U of M

My great-Uncle Tommy Hughitt played football (and baseball) there, went on to play in the early NFL with guys like Red Granger, and became a respected NFL official. Of course, grandmother graduated in 1908, Uncle Tommy in 1914, so this was a long time ago.

51. Trinity University, San Antonio.

A very good, small, nominally Presbyterian, liberal arts college. Big tennis school along with Stanford, Rice and UCLA. In football, plays powerhouses like Tarleton State College and The University of Guadalajara.

B.A. Biology. still waiting for that fabulous career that all Trinity grads are supposed to have.


Also attended the University of Houston, a large state school.

Also:


A freestanding private law school with a huge enrollment of about 1,000 students.
Formerly partnered with South Texas Junior College which fed former G.I.s into the law school after World War II. At the time, students needed 60 credit hours of college to go to law school, which was then and is still now, 90 semester hours. At the time, the degree earned was the Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) which has now been changed to the Juris Doctor (J.D.), since the entrance requirements include a bachelor's degree.

South Texas Junior College was eaten by the University of Houston and is now the Downtown College of U of H.

Now South Texas College of Law is known for producing excellent trial attorneys.

3rd degree: Houston Community College, A.A.S. in Court Reporting. I was the first graduate of the court reporting program at H.C.C. which was started in 1975.


Yes I was a college bum.

[Charlemagne]

56. One of my fav places to hang out

Good memories of the school. About an hour from where I grew up.

[mattvermont]

58. when were you around there?

We used to go to a Blues Bar in Oxford. Also the Library, on occasion, as it was bigger than Earlham's.

[Charlemagne]

61. Had to be

between 2001-2005. Had friends at college there.

[gratuitous]

79. My best friend and his then wife were in Richmond for a while

She worked for Bethany Seminary, which had just moved its campus from Illinois to Indiana, and shares some of Earlham's facilities. Charming little place, but I had a full-blown panic attack in the Wal-Mart there, buying picnic supplies. They had a three-story house just off campus, and during my visit I helped my friend oil, wax and seal the floors of their new purchase.

As I recall, they bought the house for about $40,000, which was CHEAP even then. But as my friend pointed out, to live in the house, you had to live in Indiana.

[ScreamingMeemie]

59. Macomb Community College.

[rufus dog]

64. Arizona State University

[Charlemagne]

67. Funny story about ASU

My freshman year of high school we had to write an opinion paper in english class. I wrote one on how I didnt like David Spade. Turns out my teacher went to ASU and was friends with Spade. The remainder of the year was very difficult for me.

[rufus dog]

70. I didn't even realize he went there

And he was there when I attended. I am with you, he is an annoying little turd.

[GReedDiamond]

66. Me: Art School Dropout, Chicago Academy of Fine Arts...

...I was told by one of my instructors, circa 1974, that Walt Disney was expelled from the school for often showing up intoxicated.

Don't really know if it's true. But he did go there.

[csziggy]

71. Graduated from Florida State University

Started at Florida Presbyterian, now Eckerd College, transferred to FSU for their library science and anthropology departments. I wanted to work in a museum, so I got a double major in those subject. Never did anything with my degree.

And for the football fans - I transferred in January and didn't know FSU had a football team til I was trying to get back to campus one Saturday in September and was blocked by the crowds getting to the first game of the year. Ever since the only reason I keep track of the football schedule is so I can stay out of town on football weekends!

[Tom_Foolery]

The reunions are very lonely.

[rbnyc]

75. Knox College

[MadrasT]

81. Penn State

I was proud of that, once.

[PRETZEL]

101. Still proud PSU grad

class of '81.

No question that what Sandusky and the school did was beyond understanding and forgiveable, but Penn State is more that just the football program and those associated with it,

It is a top notch academic institution with a vary diverse culture. It always will be.

[hifiguy]

83. Undergraduate: The University of Minnesota

The University of Minnesota, Twin Cities (U of M) is a public research university located in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota, United States.

[sakabatou]

88. Some place I wanna forget

[Moondog]

91. Miami.

The one in Florida. Which, interestingly, is actually located in Coral Gables, and not Miami proper. In any event the one with beaches, and a multitude of other diversions. Not the one in the midwest.

Picked up a couple of law degrees later. Once it occurred to me that, at some point, tragically, I would actually have to support myself.

[Charlemagne]

92. There is a big difference

The one in the midwest is a good school with high academic standards.

Remember, Miami U was a university when Florida still belonged to the Spanish.

[Moondog]

93. Really?

Does that make up for being, well, where it is?

[Charlemagne]

94. excellent point

I concede

Governors State University (Illinois) grad.
