Where are you going for college?
« on: October 25, 2009, 05:46:18 pm »

Question's in the title. Where are you going for college, or where did you graduate from? If you're not in college yet, where do you want to go to college?

I'll start I guess. I'm a senior in high school, and my dream college is the University of South Carolina in Colombia, SC.

I go to Sinclair Community College in Ohio, and will probably transfer to Ohio State or UC when I finish here.

 Currently Prince Georges Community College(Why the hell am I going all the way to Largo for this?), and I'll likely transfer to University of Maryland. Then again, as I lack a major I could go damn near anywhere. People have advised I go into Graphic Design, but I'll need to take the relevant courses to decide upon that.

The University of Texas at Arlington, part of the Texas state schools system.  Twenty five thousand people crammed onto a campus larger than some towns.  It's the most soulless, dreary, mindless institution men (well, mostly women) have ever been educated in.  People couldn't even work up the heart to protest a smoking ban.

Still better than the semester than I spent at Texas Technical University.  Giant fucking cow and cotton college in the middle of cow and cotton country surrounded by Lubbock, Texas, the World's Largest Truckstop.

Isn't that the college that they're always advertising on G4?  I always assumed that was some kind of scheme to kidnap young nerds and sell them as slaves.

Well, my aunt and uncle live right by it so I'd get free house & food, which is a plus. Their neighbor apparently is a graduate, and he got hired by... can't really recall... It was one of the studios that EA tucked into it's monopoly of shit.

Heriot Watt University. Its a good place. Really quiet, outta the way place. Its located about a mile out of the city of Edinburgh. Its completely self contained on one campus. Fun times.

University of New South Wales (UNSW)

Good university. But it's just horrible. I don't know what it is about this place. They have plenty of activities, but it's just... boring. Workload is fricking excessive, haven't had a break since last year.. what with me having to do thesis and industrial training non-stop. Beer, boring clubs, and crappy indie bands isn't my idea of a good time.

A lot of people go to American ivy league unis to build contacts. It seems that Aussies go to whichever unis their friends go to. Even in small classes, there's almost no sense of community; everyone has their own circle of friends. Everyone ends up clustering with each other. The guys from the same school mix among themselves. Chinese/Indian/Asian kids mix with each other. And the foreign kids from outside Asia don't really get to make friends with anyone.

UNSW is one of the best places in the world to go for the knowledge. You get some of the best lecturers in the world and certainly the best in the country. But it is fucking depressing. A lot of people say that college is the best time of their lives... but I have never heard a single person from UNSW say that they enjoyed the experience.
