Inspired by this thread: [Where did you go to high school?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=279035)

I wonder how many of us went to the same college?

I’ll start: West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV, 1998

Let’s include our major too:

Me: political science

We have a match-up already! I went to KSU for a year and half (1982-84). I was also an English major. When were you there?

After Kent, I went to:

The University of Lancaster (the one in Lancashire, UK). 1984-86  
The University of Colorado at Denver, and got my BA and MA there. (In 1987 and 1990 respectively)  
Emporia State University, in Emporia, Kansas, for my MLS. 1991-92.
