    Just finished my undergrad (BA in history) two and a half months ago at Westminster College, Salt Lake City. Now I've got to figure out where I want to go for further studies in linguistics.

    I *have* heard of it. Mike Carleson who presents the NFL on Channel5 in the UK went there in the 60's, where he played on the Lacrosse team with current New England Patriots head coach Bill Bellicheck.

    There. Now, where's my cookie?

    There's a Wesleyan Uni on the N side of Indianapolis that we've known about for ages, mom almost went to work there. Is it affiliated?

    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..

    I'm at a JC right now finishing up my GE. I then plan on going to San Jose State where I plan to study in their SLIS program majoring in archiving and minoring in Military History. From there I plan on going to Europe (probably to the University College London) for my Masters and then from there I plan to get a PhD somewhere else maybe...that parts tentative. I might even go to Australia for it Queensland University of Technology. It's gonna be soooo much fun

    They dumped me on Tenley Campus for my first year, unfortunately. Long story short, lack of space. But I have been hanging out in Letts a lot.

    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.

    Oh yeah, the rooms are definitely bigger. 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.)

    Master in chemical engineering at LTU (Luleå technical university).

    One year left.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    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.

    Nope, it's not that one. The only school I looked at in Ohio was Oberlin (which I actually did apply to and was accepted).

    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 ); 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.
