125. University of Dundee (flunked), NC A&T (still there).
St. Andrews: great university.
University of Dundee: Very good university.
City of Dundee: I'm glad they bulldozed that bloody shopping centre in the middle of the city. It was an eyesore - ugly!

Thanks to meeting my wife, I ended up here. Settled down a bit and decided to resume my studies. Dundee being a good technical university (they invented the LCD display in their engineering dept), I had to go to NC A&T rather than UNC Greensboro. UNCG: too artsy.

150. Dundee is definitely good - originally founded as a college of St. Andrews
especially for engineering.

Also unique as the only place in the world where one can study British law - having departments of English law and of Scots law.

209. I don't know the reason for this,
but I'm wondering if it's the UW admins or something. Here in Seattle, I used to watch replays of the games on Monday nights at 7:00, but for the last couple of years, they don't show any replays, and Fox Sports Northwest hardly does anything on them. Given that, and the dead deal with YES, it makes me think it's more something with UW instead of the teevee stations.

Bummer!

32. I'm "Green" with envy!
Did get to see the Ducks-USC game (gack, that was ugly) as it was on ABC. I became a Duck fan in the early 70's when I worked concessions at Autzen Stadium. Our stand closed just after halftime, so I would go watch the rest of the game once I was done cleaning up. Been following them ever since.

By the way, one of my brothers-in-law looks so much like Mike Bellotti that once, when he went to the big pre-season hoe-down at Autzen with the players, several of the players actually thought he WAS Bellotti!

162. That USC game was great for the first half
it sure did go down fast. USC is so much better than every other team in teh country. The Ducks are in the top 3 in the PAC 10, which is a power conference again. USC is in another world though. Looks like another Sun Bowl for the Ducks (I hope).

158. I'm up in NorCal ...
I'm pretty sure it's now called San Jose State University. I've never heard it called "California State University at San Jose."

http://www.sjsu.edu/


Cal State Hayward did change its name to Cal State East Bay in the last year. The university president who pushed the name change through just resigned -- in large part due to the fact that a lot of students, faculty, and alumni are livid over the change. I wouldn't be surprised to see it changed back to CSU Hayward.

31. It was established in colonial times by a royal charter under the
Edited on Mon Oct-03-05 03:18 PM by swimboy
hand of King William III and Queen Mary II. They apparently still do some strange things the charter requires in order to keep it in effect, such as deliver five translated latin sentences to Virginia's governor each year.

It's on the edge of Colonial Williamsburg so it's a funny place. It's a public (state) university but because of the name it is often mistaken for a private or religious school and many jokes are made, e.g. College of Mary and Joseph, College of Fred and Ethel, etc.

I'm floating along the boundary between the Church of England and Roman Catholicism - which seems to fit well with the Stuarts - plus there's the whole romantic thing, rather than drab puritanism.

37. Well....
Edited on Mon Oct-03-05 03:25 PM by khashka
I graduated early from high scool. I applied to Vassar (which was where I really wanted to go) but was nominally accepted (same deal withe Claremont, Wellesley and Tufts) if I'd do a couple years at a junior college first, I did. DVC.

Then the money wasn't there in spite of my national merit scholarship. I got a few BAs at The University of Alaska at Anchorage (psych, sociology and a minor in anthro - barely a minor, one more class and it woud have been a triple major). Made the honour role every year, member of Psy Chi, graduated summa cum laude. Not one of the the most prestigious schools, but they had an awsome Behavioural Psych program) .

Transferred for my MA to SFU. Dropped out into an MA/ PhD program at GGU. Dropped out after my little sister died.

I still need to finish my PhD. I'd love to, but probably won't. My priorities have changed. I'd still love to go back to school, study something else, but no can do right now. But who knows?


Khash.
(So I may well be an idiot.... but I got a lot of paper that states otherwise. For what it's worth.)

Plus William and Mary, and UVA. Wound up at UVA; it's cheap and once you get in, easier than W&M, which appealed to me at the time.

On edit: Was your doctoral program along a clinical track or purely experimental?

does Starbucks have a university now? :evilgrin:

it's just funny that you took the time to respond to a thread explaining why you weren't responding.

frankly, I am identifiable by anyone who wants to take the time and effort to do so, people have met me, in person, for instance. My policy is that I don't say anything that I would be embarrased to have attributed to me in another fora.

83. It was a way of advising DUers
Of course I took the time. I figured it was a way of nudging people to think twice about saying where they went to school, but I was polite about it - didn't think it was right to berate people or knock them over the head. JimmyJazz reminded me of why my opinion has merit.

(I achieved some notierity in my dorm hall for my room always smelling like coffee - so nothing new under the sun) :donut:

56. As bouncy ball has pointed out on numerous occasions -
The information you give out is cumulative in nature. Your age here, your alma mater there, what you do for a living on another thread....It adds up to people having the ability to create a profile on you if they so desired.

Also, on those silly quizzes, I NEVER give out my real date of birth which they often request before providing the results.

193. if I were that interested in getting DUer's IDs
I'd hack the site and grab up ISPs of posters. It would be much faster than reading every thread day in day out for the cumulative effect. Unless you stumble across that one thread with the names, addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers and DOBs all DUer's answered truthfully...

187. I am not answering it either
Those of us who went to smaller schools need to be more careful than those who went to larger schools. Although most people could not, I could name every person by sight that I graduated with in college. With just a couple of facts about myself that I have already given, anyone could identify me, especially my parents and employer. There are things that I have posted on here that I don't want them to know about.

204. I know, but what do they say?
Believe me it was less beautiful when I was there in the late 70's. They've fixed the place up nicely- more trees, lots of new dorms and buildings, all the artwork. When I went there it was just an empty windswept parking lot between the towers, the quad and the UniSpan. (The school at least, I can't vouch for Hempstead or Uniondale)

Of course, we still had Bill's Meadowbrook Bar and the infamous Mc Hebe's Dept (so named because it was owned by an Irishman and a Jew).

What are you studying and what do you think of that new logo?

I minored in Communications (they didn't have all that high tech stuff back in the dark ages - the rich kids had color tvs!). I also minored in English. I think a few POli Sci profs are still there from my days- Firestone, I think Rosenbaum has gone emeritus.

49. Richmond Community College in Hamlet, North Carolina and
I hate it. I always wanted to go to UCBerkley, just because they are known for their cool atmosphere and music and art and stuff like that. Where I am going now, RCC, well, let me just give one example of why my bullshit'o'meter is broken. I had one really good teacher who warned me that the majority of the administration there all have degrees in horseshit. He warned me. I cannot say he didn't. Well, After graduating from his class (on campus but separated from the looniness that is RCC) I decided to further my education and go for a degree in Computer Engineering. I like most of my teachers, but I have this English teacher who is a total freeper. He won't get off the prom as an example for every type of paper except when he states "abortion is murder" as fact, not opinion. Now, I won't argue that most people do see abortion as murder, but legally, so far, until Bushit gets through with us, it isn't considered murder. Today he was griping about someone writing a book stating that the government did a lousy job after Hurricane Katrina. He was saying that the government didn't do a lousy job and griped that anyone would dare to say the government did a lousy job. Hell, even asshole bush said the government's response after Katrina was (AND I QUOTE) "unacceptable". I think this guy is a log cabin republican, it's just a hunch, but I think he is. The absolute bullshit of that puts my bullshit'o'meter over the edge. The needle pegged with some of his earlier bullshit so I set the range to the highest to try to cope. He broke the needle off saying that bullshit today. I cannot wait to escape this guy. He's a jerk.

She was still there in 1976. She must have been about 40 by then.

Edited on Tue Oct-04-05 11:18 AM by Seabiscuit
He dressed in orange robes and used to hang around Sproul Plaza juggling oranges (he kept them in a pouch - he was said to only eat oranges) and wandering around zonked out on LSD - he used to assess people's energy with his hands outstretched - when he ran across someone with "bad vibes" he'd make pushing motions with his hands.

This was in 1974 and 1975. By 1976 he had disappeared.

I couldn't deal with Temple. I love nature and grass and trees too much to live in the city. Although my professors at Penn State are very intelligent, the ones at Temple were really stellar. I dont think Temple gets enough credit for being the good school they really are. I didn't have a single professor at Temple who wasn't an Ivy League grad and brilliant beyond belief.

They're not in the thick of things, like the folks at city schools can be.

My brother's beef wasn't with the academics, obviously, but with the social life (or lack of), after being in a valley with 35,000 other hormone-addled young people 3 1/2 hours from the nearest city.

In terms of the social life, there's actually a lot more to do at Temple - obviously you're in the city so you spend more time going out and partying, going to clubs, bars, meeting the occasional celeb, etc. At Penn State there's nothing much to do other than have sex with your fellow students :P (not that I do that, of course...just saying) ;)

112. I've heard great things about Wisconsin's women's studies and Buddhism
departments. It's got some really strong graduate social science programs.

How do you like Madison?

115. I LOVE MADISON.
There is always something to do, it's mostly democratic (w/ enough repubs. to have good debate every so often), and actually has a lot of good departments. I don't know for sure about the Buddhism or women's studies (other than friends who loved certain classes) but there are a lot of good departments that I do know of: Chem, Bio, Teaching school, Med. school, Pharmacy school, Agricultural School, etc. Too many to list. Overall I'm having a great time up here, except for math class right now. Also, if you ever get the chance you should visit Madison, it is a beautiful city with an awesome campus.

124. University of Southern California
It's awesome that we're hated again, via the exploits of the football team. I'm seeing "I hate USC!" posts all over the internet. For a decade or more, no one outside of Westwood had reason to hate us.

Homecoming this week. In fact, the 125th anniversary of the school. Kind of numbing, because I had already been at 'SC for a year when it was the 100th anniversary.

The funny part of that 100th celebration: the school bought thousands of balloons to be displayed and later released on campus. The anniversary was ballyhoed as "Super Weekend," but the goofs who printed the balloons came up with "Surer Weekend."

That's in Beaumont, TX, which has been in the news more than usual lately (well, it's normally not in the news at all!) 'cause the city got its fair share of damage from Rita.

I'm currently attending graduate school at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, but am likely switching colleges and majors after this semester.
