Just wondering, since everyone here seems rather mature.

So, where do you guys go, and do you like it there?

[Random]

Villanova University

Love it.

[Ali]

Finalist at the Royal College of Music.

Did a semester abroad at Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris.

Absolutely love it. Very sad it's all coming to an end soon.

Johns Hopkins University

It's nice that we get til the very end of January to go back to school (6 weeks of break, whaddup!) but the work load there is intense.
Especially since a large part of the school is pre-med, or BME, or chemical engineering or some combination of the previous - most of the biology/chemistry classes are super competitive

Went to Monmouth University, but personal things came to light and had stop going to school. Hoping now to get into Rowan soon after everything gets situated and get a chance to play football there

I will be applying there but to be honest it's not on the top of my list

Yeah I know a lot of them. Almost fought some weird mix of mexican kid on the team. Most of them are fairly retarded and I'm terribly disappointed that they refused some other kid for them (but that is kinda the problem with most of the sports players there). But they aren't all bad Whats his name?

[Whyumad]

Langara College, failing through life as per usual..

[Mishelle]

Arizona State University. Will be transferring soon hopefully.

I was going to transfer there last summer but decided not to, but it's still in the back of my mind. Do you not like the school? What's wrong with it?

40,000 students and way too hard to focus. Classes are shitty til the last year or so. My major started with like 300, 18 will be graduating. 5 year grad rate is like 25%?

[Mishelle]

Jeez that sounds like a nightmare. I want to go to a bigger college, but those graduation rates are pretty dismal looking. I'm glad I didn't go now.
Part of me wants to get the hell out of SoCal. Another part of me never wants to leave. I'm pretty sure i'm going to end up staying here though. The political climate in AZ and the actual climate temperature-wise was what put me off the most.

Well it's a convenient location for you, if I'm not mistaken. But I could go on and on about some of the bullshit you'll have to put up with.

What are you going into anyways?

[Elindoril]

The University of Wal-Mart, night courses.

But seriously, I'm procrastinating when it comes to Post-secondary, enough that I'll likely make it there in 20 or so years.

[redlion]

I attend George Mason University.

My synopsis would sound a lot like Bryan's, except we don't party like his school does. Mason is largely a commuter school, although the school keeps building dorms in the hope that they can offer housing to 100% of freshman (still not a reality I hear). In spite of the home-grown aspect, we're one of the most diverse campuses in the country, which makes for a very cliquish, sectarian social atmosphere. I mean, the JC (think student union sorta) has at one end, a meditation space pointed east where the moslem element hold daily prayers, and at the other end, the offices of the Women's Studies Department, which is fully and rightfully named something like Women's and Gender Studies: LBGTQ and You! For as open as we are officially, we're a very segregated campus in reality.

Something about the location makes it impossible for me to focus. Fairfax is the third most affluent county in the nation, just after neighboring counties.

Spoiler

Fairfax was the first county in the United States to reach a six-figure median household income, and has the third-highest median household income of any local jurisdiction in the United States after neighboring Falls Church and Loudoun County.

I think the combination of wealth and the lack of social-academic atmosphere really make for a bad learning environment. I mean, meet some of the locals and you'll be offered more drugs than you've ever heard of. But like I said, we're not really a party school either. Campus won't let the social frats have a greek row, so all socializing is underground. Fucking disgusting, we've got to hide the fact that we want to meet other students outside the classroom.

Ugh. Perhaps I'm just pissy because my profs didn't reward my hard work with the grades I expected this semester. That, and I basically had no social life while I was doing their work.
