A)University of Illinois at Chicago B)Downtown Chicago, just outside of the loop. C)Big, public, state school. 90% of the students commute. D)It’s good sometimes, not so good other times. E)Senior F)Computer Science I’m going to be graduating in May. That means that I need to find a job. I was hoping that I’d never need to grow up, but it seems inevitable. Actually I have a job interview tomorrow morning and another on Friday, hopefully they’ll go well. Ah well, I better get to bed so I’m awake for the big interview tomorrow. I don’t think that nodding off makes a good impression on an interviewer. ---

\*\*Where do you go to school? \*\* Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute **Where is it located?** Troy, NY A nice little ghetto town. \*\*What type of school is it? \*\* Private technical school. A lot of engineers and architechs, and a bunch of computer-related majors. About 5000 undergrads, and 2000 grads. \*\*Do you like it? \*\* Definetly. For being a nerd school, there is a suprisingly large social life. \*\*What year are you? \*\* Sophomore. \*\*What is your major? \*\* Undeclared engineering. I have to declare by this spring, and will choose either electrical, or electric power. ---

\*\*Where do you go to school? \*\* 1. Undergrad: University of Hawaii at Manoa 2. MBA: University of Nebraska - Lincoln 3. Current (PhD): Boston College (hello, Serendipity!) **Where is it located?** 1. Honolulu, Hawaii… kinda nice place to be 2. Lincoln, Nebraska… staid midwestern college town 3. Chesnut Hill near Boston… and I love Boston! \*\*What type of school is it? \*\* 1 & 2) State schools, nothing too special. UH was basically a commuter school. NU exists to give the football team a university it can be proud of. 3) Ultra-expensive private school, a lot smaller than I’m used to. Thank goodness for that fellowship. \*\*Do you like it? \*\* I like BC the best. I wish I had spent my undergrad in Boston instead of a commuter school in Hawaii. Then again, I’m sure many Bostonians would rather spend the winters in Hawaii. I went to Hawaii on a football scholarship… would’ve been nicer to go to Nebraska for that and make my millions in the NFL 😉 \*\*What year are you? \*\* Working on my PhD… should take a while. \*\*What is your major? \*\* UH: History, NU: MBA, Accountancy emphasis, BC: Accountancy [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-happy-college-thread/86527.md?page=2)
