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.

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 :wink:

**What year are you? **
Working on my PhD… should take a while.

**What is your major? **
UH: History, NU: MBA, Accountancy emphasis, BC: Accountancy
