Where do/did/will you go to college?

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

I'm currently a student at York University (North Yorkshire, England), and studying English Literature. The plan is to go on to do post-grad courses abroad, preferably in America, before lecturing, but in case that falls through I'm keeping my hand in journalism, creative writing and music as well.

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

UCD but I don't think that is applicable since I'm in Ireland but I am doing Engineering here.

 

[Necron_warrior]

Hoping to go to Abertay university and study programming, And if my prelim results say anything, I'm on my way to going there

 

[Thaluikhain]

Macquarie University, Bachelor of Arts in Ancient History.

Only you can't get a job with that, so:

Ultimo TAFE, Diploma of Library and Information Services

Only you can't get a job with that, so currently studying:

Hornsby TAFE, Cert III in Information and Communications Technology.

...

Cost me $53 for my ICT course, something similar for my Library course (in that I'm unemployed, something like $360 otherwise), and my university degree will cost me a few thousand dollars, but only once I get a job paying above a certain amount.

[SckizoBoy]

Currently studying Chemistry at Reading, England. So far, pretty good, but carbonyl chemistry is a major pain in the arse.

What?! Why?! Carbonyl chemistry is one of the cornerstones of organic synthesis after all!

OT: Imperial College London Dept Chem (class of 2009)

 

[Psychedelic Spartan]

I'm planning on going to Princeton. My school has huge connections there and it would be a good fit for me.

 

[Lizardon]

I'm about to start my second year at the University of Western Australia doing a Bachelor of Science. I'm enjoying it so far, although my low grades in first year was a bit of a kick up the arse. At high school, I did no study outside of class and graduated in the top 5% of the state. It seems University won't be quite as easy.

 

[Philol]

I'm currently studying first year history at Teesside University in Middlesbrough.

 

[Frenzy107]

Im going for Computer engineering at Virginia Tech. Go Hokies!

 

[BlackStar42]

DTU - Technical University of Denmark, studying mechanical engineering..

It is the university I wished to attend, and the right line of study as well. And hey, I'm getting payed to study there! Gotta love Denmark sometimes.

Wait wait wait. You get PAID to study in Denmark? Over here it's the other bloody way around!

 

[Endersgate1321]

MedTech College for Medical Lab Tech

Indeed we do.. The goverment pays us around 5500 danish kroner (little less than 1000 USD) per month, while studying. It's not much, but it pays rent, food, beer and my car.. If we need more money, we can borrow from the state, at a very low rate also.

Any idea whether or not I'd get that if I went to study in Denmark as part of ERASMUS?

[robot slipper]

I go to Brighton University in... Brighton, England.
I study the history of philosophy
i got well under the grades needed but i wowed em on the interview

Yeeeah represent! I went to Brighton Uni 2001-2004 and studied Biomedical Science. Loved Brighton so much that I still live here now!

Question for the US-ians: What's the difference between a "state" university and a... "not-state" university. For example, University of Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State University. Is it the type of courses? Or the prestige? I watch college football, so I have always wondered this.
