Where do/did/will you go to college?

[pppppppppppppppppp]

Hey guys, I'm a Junior in high school, and I just got back from a few college visits, and I was just wondering where people are/did/plan to go to college and what they major/majored/plan to major in.

Personally, I want to be an engineer of some sort, and I'm hoping to make it into Stanford or Berkeley, but that's probably not going to happen. I have an SAT score of 2220 which is good, but I'm nowhere near the top of my class. I'll probably end up just going to a state school like A&M since I live in Texas. :/

So what colleges are you guys looking at, attending or attended?

As a fellow high school junior...I have no fucking clue where I'm going to go. I'm basically college-bound, but I have no idea where to start.

...It's going to come back to bite me in the ass, I just know it.

It seems kind of a "damned if you do" or "damned if you dont" type thing...

Go somewhere you'll get a full scholarship, so you don't end up in any debt.

Me? I'm attending Middle Tennessee State University. Nothing special for someone who graduated high school with a 3.6 GPA and 32 on the ACT, but hey, it's free if I keep a 3.0.

Honestly, though, I'm kind of enjoying security work, hopefully moreso now that I'm gonna get my armed license soon. Just remember Uni's not for everyone, and that it's not the only way to a good life.

I'm currently a student at Augusta State University. Though I've got an application pending at SCAD, and I'm hoping to start there in the fall.

I get the impression America would say otherwise

University. I went there once. Boring as though, so I dropped out and went to TAFE instead. Best decision I ever made.

It does.

Or at least I think it does. When it starts, I stick my fingers in my ears and go "Lalala, I can't hear you!"

I currently go to Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Next year I'll be going to Florida State University, though (if they decide they want to let me in. -.- urgh...)

I'm studying Chinese linguistics and a double major as Religious studies with a concentration in Eastern religions. I currently have a minor in History as well, but I'll probably be dropping that.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

Royal Air Force College Cranwell...

Spent 30 miserable weeks there so I can have years of happy career!

Personally, university didn't interest me because everyone was so serious. It seemed like no one there cared about anything other than studying. The whole time I was there, I don't think I heard a single person laugh. Plus I wasn't learning as much there. In a class of 150 it's impossible to get any one on one time with the teachers. TAFE has a much more relaxed environment, the class sizes are smaller than even high school, and it's just suited me so much more.
