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. :)
