If you've already completed uni, have a degree, or are in a graduate program, post that too.

Junior at Penn State University with a major in accounting
I'll be going to get my master's in accountancy at Penn State, so that's another year
After that, I want to go to law school so that's three more years.
Basically i have 6 years of school left.

After 3 uni's declined my admission (UM, MSU & WSU, due to affirmative action concerns), and Dad lost his Ford job, I dropped out of high school and found work. A teacher friend hooked me up with the GED, and I took night courses at Oakland Community College. The Army intervened, and I took CLEP tests, and attended whatever local community college courses I could.
Eventually, Chaminade University in Honolulu offered (since I was a GI) to consolidate all my credits and short, month-long, but intensive, courses to "catch me up". So I burned up my saved leave time, and used the GI Bill to pay for, and attend, those. I never finished a degree, since I got transferred to some fairly nasty places to do security. After discharge, I've taken some paralegal courses from National University, thinking to prepare for my third career. But had to stop that recently.
To answer "what uni are you going to?", I have to say: Chaminade University. Nice place. Good folks. Maybe they'll take me back. :)

BSc (Hons) in Chemistry from the University of Salford, with the 2nd year spent on an exchange programme at the University of Toledo (USA)

So let me get this right, they rejected you because you were too white?

On the 15th of September (A mere 3 days after the end of the second half my exams, thank you Swiss Department of Education for giving me such a long break!), I shall be starting Geneva University where I shall be studying economics.
However, if all goes well in my exams, which I am sitting at this very moment, I shall be applying to the University of Cambridge to study the rather excitingly-sounding Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic for entrance in 2009, so I have my fingers crossed for that, as well as other universities in the United Kingdom such as Durham, St Andrew's, Bristol and UCL, in case I do really get sick of Switzerland and want a change. However, as going to study in England would mean me losing a year, it's a rather difficult choice to make (other than Cambridge, of course).

It's not like I have too many choices..otherwise I would chose to study abroad. It'll probably be the University of Oslo or Bergen (in pretty much one years time), depending upon what I choose to study next, which I am not at all certain about..

From there I plan on going to Europe (probably to the University College London (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/)) for my Masters and then from there I plan to get a PhD somewhere else maybe...that parts tentative.

Dude, Tenley ain't bad. From my experience, the RA's are much more lax and a lot more stuff goes unnoticed. And the rooms are bigger. :2thumbsup:

Oh yeah, the rooms are definitely bigger. :yes: Our RAs have a pretty strict policy about things on floors, but they're still pretty cool (not total jerks) and don't give a crap about what happens off-campus.
Wesleyan was one of the few eastern schools that I seriously considered applying to - goodness knows they expended a fair amount of effort trying to get me to come. I think I shied away, though, if for no other reason than that I would have felt horribly provincial, being just a "bum yokel" from the rural Midwest. (Not a very good reason, I know.) :embarassed:

Nope. There are about 100 different universities with Wesleyan in their name, none of them have anything to do with the one I went to. Such as Ohio Wesleyan, which is the one which I think Martok is talking about here:

There is so much confusion over the name of the school that we actually have a popular shirt there with the school logo, which says on the back: NOT Ohio Wesleyan, NOT ....., etc. for about 20 lines, and then it says at the bottom "And no, we're not a women's college outside of Boston" because people get us mixed up with Wellesley all the time as well.
My Wesleyan is in Middletown, CT about 30 minutes south of Hartford. It's your typical New England liberal arts college that no one has ever heard of.

I'm actually pretty sure that's the one, TinCow. The only other Eastern school I seriously considered applying to was in New Jersey (although bugger all if I can remember its name offhand :wall: ); the other was Wesleyan. So unless there's a Wesleyan college/university in New Jersey -- and maybe there is, for all I know -- I'm reasonably certain your school is the one I'm thinking of. :yes:

Ah, that was my error. I read your previous post as saying that the Wesleyan you looked at was in the midwest, rather than that you were from the midwest. Yeah, we're probably talking about the same place. The town it's in sucks, the women are 'homely' to put it nicely, and it's unbelievably expensive, but it does provide a pretty decent education.

Then the financial realities of marriage and children intervened and I quit and entered the work force. I am currently working on my doctorate from the University of HK & PD,Hard Knocks and Painful Dings and hope to graduate retire actually in oh...5-7 more years.Depending on my current family situation, and the college aspirations of my two step-children.
