What College do you go to - Going to - Went to?

Just thought it would be cool to see what colleges people around here went to. I thought about posting this in the college thread, but that is quite a bit different than this thread, so I decided to make this.

So what college did you go to? Did you like it? Was it worth it? How was the social life?

What college are you currently going to? Are you satisfied with it? Would you rather be anywhere else?

If you a haven't gone to college yet, which one do you plan on going to/wish to attend? Have you ever visited?

I haven't been to college yet, but I'm still trying to make the decision of which one I want to go to. Very Happy

I went to Wright State in Dayton, Ohio (Fairborn/Beavercreek area). From the cost standpoint, it's worth it if your a local student. Unfortunately for myself, I was an out-of-state student so the prices were jacked up which really diminished the value. It's a decent school that has some very good programs. Two of my cousin's graduated from their Education program and are both doing very well.

As far as the social element goes...I worked for the Athletic Department so it was always easy for me to find things to do. However, Wright State is known as a commuter school so it's not for everyone. I had a blast though.

Before you make your selection, think long and hard about two things. 1. Do you want to be in a boat load of debt upon graduation. 2. Is the degree you're going to earn going to pay that debt.

Many times people go to college for the wrong reasons. They go to fun private colleges to socialize, come out with a liberal arts degree and are in $100K worth of debt. You might have a lot of fun for four years, but trying to pay off that debt will not be fun.

I took the community college followed by a state college route. I got an engineering degree, which means hard classes full of nothing but nerdy guys. I didn't have fun. But I came out with no debt, and with a degree that pays an average of 60K for start.

Went to Villanova
Enjoyed it
Worth it because they gave me a full ride
Social life was okay, but I kind of did my own thing

Local community college and now I'm at UCF.

Like I said in the college thread, wish I realized I didn't want to be a chef earlier. I'd have applied to schools when I was in hs. Honors student, 1200 SAT [without writing]/28 ACT without studying for either test and only taking them once. I'd have gotten into schools for sure if I had applied. But I thought I had my life planned out in high school. Oh well.

I go to Brown University
It's awesome most of the time
The social life is getting a bit boring though tbh - I think I'm just a jaded old person

Will be starting at Potomac State University in May.

Hope to go to the Ohio State University after that to complete my Bachelors, then would like to get in to the vet school there as well to get my DVM.

I go to the University of Miami. I've discovered that there's lots to love and lots to hate about being here, but I have a nice scholarship that makes it only slightly more expensive than in-state publics and I'm getting arguably the best education available in my chosen field, so my return on investment is lookin' pretty solid.
