College Students

[istanbultaye]

Who all here is in college, where, and what for?

 

I am going to college (again) at the age of 27, at ITT Tech in Green Bay, for Digital Entertainment and Game Design.

 

P.S. If Joe_Hova reads this, are you the same Joe_Hova that is registered at the IGDA forum?

I'm a sophomore at UW-Madison, taking a lot of English and Poli Sci classes, so maybe a double major for me?

I think I am of Junior standing at UW-Madison, applying for the Business School.

Behaviorist or cognitivist? You have some pretty well-respected behavior analysts there like Jay Moore.

Data from empirical research shows no direct link between the recent trend in decreasing animal cracker population and human consumption. A myriad of other factors such production capabilities, taste preference and the movement towards oily, fat based snacks show a much stronger link for this trend. In other words, I love me some animal crackers. I think I am going to eat some while I watch college hoops.

Behaviorist. I'll take a cognitive course from time to time, but neuroscience is a very exhausting course line. My kudos to anyone who can keep up. As for UWM's behavior analysts, they're top notch. I definitely would be hard-pressed to find better people to learn from.

[PKBadger]

Grad student at Northwestern (integrated marketing communications).

 

Graduated from UW-Madison in '03 with a finance degree.

[giffted1]

Sophomore at UW Fox Valley, transferring to UW Oshkosh next fall. Majoring in Computer Science.

[wOOgiE22]

Senior at UW Oshkosh majoring in Exercise Science and Health Promotion. Ahhh UW Fox Valley, I graduated from there a couple years ago with my Associates degree.

[istanbultaye]

What years were those? Perhaps we passed in the halls. I was there from ~'03-'05, but didn't get my associates before deciding I was wasting my time and money because I really didn't know what I wanted to do. It's funny how finally being in a program that is what I want to do has upped my GPA from ~2.3 to ~3.9, hehe.

[wOOgiE22]

haha yeah i know what you mean. I went there from '04 to '06 until transferring to UWO.

[UndraftedFA]

Age 28, started going back to school part-time at 26 at UW-Washington County. I moved to Tucson, AZ and started at Pima Community College. I liked my Calculus teacher, so I will stick there until Junior status. Eventually, I will go to the University of Arizona for Mechanical/Aerospace engineering. The wages stink here, so I think next fall I am going to try and take 4 classes a semester and work the minimum to maintain insurance. I hope to be done in 3.5 years. Then from there I will try and find a job that will make it worth the effort of going to school. I made about $47,000 my last year in WI, I am lucky to get $32,000/year here as a toolmaker. When you are 28 and look 18, you don't get much respect. I think a few gray hairs are worth another $4/hour, even if you stink at your job! haha.

 

All I can say is that I have a lot of respect for those who have made it through an engineering degree. I thought I was above average intelligence until I started going to school again. It's definitely not a degree you can get by without a good effort. There isn't a whole lot of free time for me. Spring break was this week, and I commented to my co-workers it felt like retirement! Back at Differential Equations and Vector Calculus tomorrow!
