2.) Cleveland State University (Cleveland, OH) - Took some engineering classes there and worked as a Chem Lab tech.

3.) Cuyahoga Community College (Cleveland, OH) - Took a Cisco networking class there and some history classes. My H.S. commencement ceremony was also held here.

4.) Illinois Institute of Technology (Chicago, IL) - Went to school here for Mech/Aero engineering.

5.) University of Illinois - Chicago (Chicago, IL) - Hang-out spot, and tutored math/physics to this hot chick who went there.

6.) University of Chicago (Chicago, IL) - Hang-out spot, and attended a couple of lectures.

Guilford or Greensboro or whatever it is - See above.

GTCC - It was there.

Mars Hill - Went to a leadership conference there.

WVU - Been there for a couple of reasons, not the least of which is due to me once living in Morgantown.

St. Vincent in PA - Cousin went there.

Plus, a bunch of other small colleges and ones I plan to visit soon. Hopefully, those will include GaTech, MIT, and NC State. As an aside, State and MIT are on a lot of peoples lists. MIT I can see - but State?
