I just can’t resist this. A long, long time ago, I received my BA from Hampshire College (AKA the Bastard Child of the Four Colleges). I’ll never forget the running joke that the bus drivers had about Smith. When asked why there were late-night runs between Smith and Mount Holyoke when all other bus runs had ended, every bus driver I ever encountered responded with a totally deadpan “Lonely lesbians.” The fact that Smith students typically hate MoHo students only made it funnier. Okay, so it’s not so funny now. I think you had to be there.
Hey… do me a favor. Run down to Atkin’s and have a loaf of Ugly Bread and apple butter for me, 'k?
Oh, and to answer your questions…
A) State University of West Georgia
B) West Central Georgia, a stone’s throw from the Georgia/'Bama border
C) Typical state school, about 18K students
D) Eh. It’s okay. Too few good profs, too many close to retirement. The Psych program is totally whacked… I like the program I’m in now much better.
E) Halfway through my EdS (already have the MA)… might have a year and a half or so left.
F) Community Counseling (as opposed to the school counseling program)

The University of Virginia.

Charlottesville, VA.

D)Do you like it?
Yeah, it’s pretty cool. It took me a couple years to get situated, but (looks at beer fridge) I’m having a good time of it now.
Dammit, my beer just fizzed all over my mouse. Fuckin’ A! Oh well, mouse seems to be working.
E)What year are you?

D) Yep, I love it here! It’s the only school I applied to.
E) They tell me I’m a senior, I don’t quite believe it.
F) I’m a Philosophy major. Yep, it’s almost useless and I have two possilbe minors: Anthropology and Religous Studies. Both equally useless
I’m in my sixth year of getting a Ph.D. in Plant Breeding at Cornell University located in lovely Ithaca, NY. I’m going to finish soon. Soon, I tell you!
Kaje has already described the basic environment, although class sizes tend to be much smaller at the graduate level. You also get less of the sorority types, and more of the irritating know-it-all types.
**A)Where are you in school? **
North Dakota State University
**B)Where is it located? **
Fargo, North Dakota C)What type of school is it?
Engineering and agricultural school. 58-42 Male-Female ratio. Very very very conservative, very racist, very xenophobic, very homophobic.
**D)Do you like it? **
Some of the time it’s ok. Most of the time I dislike it. The rest of the time I hate it. I think I’m getting a decent education, but it’s really tough to say. I never envisioned college as being like this.
**E)What year are you? **
I’m a 2nd semester sophomore by credits. I’m working at graduating in 3, as opposed to 4 years, so in terms of time I have 2 more years to go including this one. F)What is your major?
Political Science
A)Where are you in school?The University of Missouri - Columbia B)Where is it located? Columbia, Mo. How’s your memory?? C)What type of school is it? One of those big 12 public universities.
**D)Do you like it? **I like it so much I haven’t left for 5.5 years
**E)What year are you? **See above. F)What is your major? Electrical and Computer Engineering. Minor in math. General geekiness.
Ashland, WI That’s way, way, way, way up north, on the shores of Lake Superior, near Bayfield and the Apostle Islands. Yes, it is very pretty up here.
C)What type of school is it?
Northland College is an environmental liberal arts school (or, excuse me, it is THE environmental liberal arts school. I work in PR, I should know this.) Enrollment just under 1,000, co-ed, but there’s way more women than men (and believe me, this lesbian isn’t complaining :D) Politically left of left. Culturally it is impressivly diverse, considering we’re in nowheresville Wisconsin. Etc.
**D)Do you like it? **
I LOVE it here. The people–students and faculty–are amazingly friendly and tolerent. I’m getting a good, well-rounded liberal education, and my time at Northland has made me love learning and love life, in a way that nothing had before. The people here have what one of my writing professors call “shameless passion.” There is an incredible honest enthusiaum and energy on this campus that I haven’t seen anywhere else.
**E)What year are you? **
Senior.
**F)What is your major? **
Fine arts major with a 2-D visual arts emphasis. Writing minor.

F)What is your major?
[li]CompSci: this paricular program is a math/theory/programming base. Might branch over into math, or MIS, dunno yet. Depends on how burnt out I am, and what my course options are next semester. :p[/li]
