    I went to West Point military academy, and am also getting my Masters through there. After the Army, hopefully I will get some help from Urnamma in getting my PhD and going into archaeology.

    I'm a senior undergraduate at Williams College, in Massachusetts. Next year, I'll be beginning graduate PhD work in Medieval/Byzantine history, although I'm not yet sure where I'll be--Harvard, Notre Dame, Princeton, or Oxford (in England) are all possibilities at the moment.

    Yeah, I know, nothing at all to do with the timeline of EB. But that doesn't mean I love the mod any the less.

    Cheers.

    Well, after going through all the time and effort to apply, and make arrangements to go to university, at the last minute (literally a week before) I was struck down with a terminal case of apathy and couldn't be arsed going!

    I was going to do Chemistry at the University of Hull. Instead, I found a job and have now been sucked into the daily grind of mortgage and "working for the man".

    Although, I did go to college part-time for 2 years for a HNC in Chemistry.

    Not awfully relevant to anything on EB at all I suppose, but I still love it!!

    Ah, the other AU. Shame on me. I have not read that thread.

    I'm a second year senior at Webster University in St. Louis pursuing a double major in Anthropology and Audio Production. I was planning on a language as a minor, but my schedule was just too booked. I'm considering going for my PhD in ethnomusicology or in a similar field closer to anthropological work.
    I have different professors insisting that I'll end up in some sort of ancient studies program before its all said and done, also. I have succumbed to lifelong academia...and there is no way out.

    So what exactly do you do in the biological sciences ? How do the classes go about?

    Anyway for what I'm gonna do once I get there no idea .

    I'm currently attending Northern Arizona University, and will obtain a degree in History, with minors in classics and religious studies.

    From here, I'll go on to Holy Cross Hellenic University for graduate degrees in Byzantine Studies and Theology. And from there...I'll eventually perhaps be ordained as an Orthodox Priest. Lots and lots of studying to do!

    Some say I'll be wasting a career as a historian by doing so, but really, what matters is what YOU want to do.

    See I'm not going to let my like for history die . It will be a nice minor to go along with a hard science . And it will deceive potential employers into thinking I'm capable somehow of higher though :)


    Oh and the lawyer dude my dad is a lawyer . What degree did you pursue before you went to law school?

    I would be minoring in Classics, except that my school doesn't have minors in the first place. In fact, I'm only one class away from being a History-Classics double major, rather than simply a History major with eight Classics courses.

    Cheers.

    Actually it's Aarhus University (AKA University of Århus), and I'm studying Molecular Biology. Microbiology is a bit too smelly for me...

    Agh, so close on the major!

    Of course, knowing what country you were in certainly would have helped me with that.

    While I don't go to University, I do go to a well respected High School for the Gifted (You have to pass an examination to get in). Next year I should start an Arts degree majoring in Ancient History at University of Sydney, hopefully working on to a PhD many years down the track.
