[Epinephrine]

Ok my UK friends on the forum....I am looking for clarification on Xog's post. I am not bothered by it at all, except is Cambride called:

Cambridge University?

or

Univeristy of Cambridge?

I had always thought it was Cambridge University.

It's just one of those things that I looked at and was thinking...that's not correct. It would be similar to calling Ohio State University --> University of Ohio State or University of Pennsylavnia -> Pennsylvania University

No offense Xog, as this is not a bashing...just a clarification, as I had noted, I always thought of the school in question as "Cambridge University". Would it also be University of Oxford rather than Oxford University?

At least it's not Devry

I thought the same thing 404! I'm surprised to learn it's actually University of Cambridge...

I've even been to Oxford (as a tourist :P) but didn't notice it being called University of Oxford!

I go to UCONN, pursuing my masters in Education with a focus on Geography and American History, granted this current semester is my first one, but Im taking 6 classes per semester, including extra winter and summer courses. Going try to knock out my B.S. in 2 years. My biggest obstacle is that I have too much time on my hands, as chapter 31 of the new GI bill pays me a decent amount of money just for attending classes, more than enough to live on.

I've studied civil engineering, dropped out after realizing I'm absolutely incompetent when it comes to mathematics...

I'm currently in the last stages of a B.A in psychology and in the first stages of my L.L.B.

I'd state the university but I guess it wouldn't matter much, due to it being located in Israel..

Have a nice week people.

i suppose i shouldn't be so hard on myself.

i dropped out as a result of a nervous breakdown. just outright ran into a wall, albeit an emotional one. it wasn't that i couldn't hack it academically, and as a matter of fact, i've been itching to get back on the horse for years now.

i would absolutely looooove to have a degree in creative writing. in fact, i don't even care about the degree. i'd love to just sit in creative writing classes for the rest of my life.

in order to pay the bills though, i'm looking at some sort of graphic/web design combo. with all the credits i racked up during my stint as a comp sci major, i'm probably only looking at a year to a year and a half tops for a bachelor's.

It was anxiety and depression for me. My school was very accommodating and I wrote a lot of deferred exams over my final 2-3 years. For a long time I didn't think I'd ever graduate, but I took fewer courses each term and just stuck it out. It is just a piece of paper, but finally graduating was a huge self esteem boost.

I'd definitely suggest you go back and get some kind of degree, if only to ensure all those credits you got don't go to waste.

I too enjoy creative writing immensely, but when I started looking at possible career options doing English seemed a bit safer. I've had the opportunity to write in my local paper, as well as a lifestyle magazine that has a circulation of a few million people per month. It's interesting and enjoyable, but the kind of writing I did in creative writing had noting to do with either of my jobs. I'm going to keep taking the classes cause I enjoy them, but I don't really want to end up with a degree in it.

You should definitely look at going back, you're a smart dude Jason. Put in the time and get it done, but don't stress about having to do it right away.

Touts itself as: Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.

It took me 6.5 years to complete a 4 year degree so I'm in no position to make others look bad. On top of that, I'm the only Senior Financial Analyst in my company without either an accounting designation or MBA and some of those other analysts are 3-4 years younger than me.

Unfortunately, it's almost impossible to become a Manager of even a Team Lead without an accounting designation or an MBA so I don't really have a choice

[Summa]

Western Washington University. Best English program in the state (suck it Summa, Seattle U's English was ranked lower than UW). I'm studyng creative writing and journalism which all but ensures I'll be poor for the rest of my life. Hooray.

Our English program here blows. It is crap. Good thing it is my second degree. MRC for the win!

Wilfrid Laurier University is just the 1 block (refer to map view!). In contrast, due west of it is the University of Waterloo. It is very much bigger.

To walk across campus takes probably less than 5 minutes

Falk goes to Waterloo, iirc

[project dragon]

Project, we should post a pic of Wilfrid Laurier University so everyone can ask why we spent tens of thousands of dollars to attend a high school :grin:

man

so many of you not only finished undergrad

but you're now on to grad school

stop making me look quite so bad

although i'm of the opinion an education can be found outside the realm of academia, i must admit, the 'd' in degree has become increasingly relevant to the 'd' in dollar

if you wanna make cents you have to have some sense or at least a piece of paper that says you do

but that's a debate for another thread

you like to kick me when im down huh

[Blocks]

Sorry Blocks I tried to make time but I couldn't.

I'm just giving you a hard time. ^-^

I spent a term there and it's as hoighty-toighty as it looks. If you want, you can put on a black gown and go to formal dinners almost every night of the week. In engineering, at least, they do their Bachelor's in three years and most go on to a Master's in a fourth year. Ludicrous!

Cambridge University?

or

University of Cambridge?

Officially it's the University of Cambridge.
