Well, hi there, **Twickster**. I graduated from Drew (BA in lit.) in 1983.
I spent my freshman year at LeMoyne College, but then transferred to Drew after taking some time off.

Me: Penn State, Class of 1998, Finance.
Never used that degree for anything other than managing my own money.
I am suprised that there are not more Nittany Lions in this thread.
And Altoona is close to the armpit of PA, but my vote would be for Johnstown. And Lock Haven isn’t that great either.

WOW! I am really shocked that any other Dopers know about Cabrini…but I guess I shouldn’t be. 🙂
I haven’t been to Radnor in a little over a year: I was there last summer for my 10-year ( :eek: ) reunion.

Since Ms Mcphisto and I graduated in the same year I wonder if we were in the same dorms at McGill…not a Bishop Mountain cluster alumnus are you Mcphisto?
My sister got her B.Sc. from McGill in 2003, Antigen. She’s a Princess Dorm, girl, though (on my advice).

When I was getting out of the Army, we went by train from New Brunswick, NJ to Camp McCoy, WI via Scranton, PA (among other places). The anthracite mining districts north (I think) of there looked like the surface of the moon. Hilly with valleys loaded with slag and a few shanties straggling up the hillside. Just awful.

And it only took me 13 years to finally get the degree! But I’m the first in my family in several generations to accomplish the feat.

One other Slug here, from the dark ages. UC Santa Cruz, Crown College, class of . . . 1979. Let’s see, that means that I graduated and started working . . . before you were even born. Now I’m depressed…

I’m surprised at the number of Kent State people here - this speaks well for the school. I worked on my MS (Accounting and Information Systems) at **UC Denver** off and on between 1984 and 1989. Two classes to go, but I moved away.
**Indiana University, Bloomington,** BS in Finance, 1980.
