As I head off to college in the fall, I find myself curious; What colleges (high schools are okay too I guess) do you, the members of NPF attend? Also, if you're in the workforce full time, feel free to list where you did go to school.

I, myself am heading off to the University of Northern Iowa.

UFPEL. Universidade Federal de Pelotas. So...Federal University of Pelotas. Curiously not located in Pelotas.

I go to USC. Not the fake one in California, but the real USC in Columbia, South Carolina.;)

I used to go to Bethany Lutheran College, now I attend the luxurious County College of Morris. Kind of a downgrade.

Currently looking for a full time job though.

Georgian College, it's a small time deal. Did some partnership programs into Laurentian University though.

I'll be a sophomore next year at the University of Kentucky. I kinda like it so far, even if its a long walk between classes on occasion.

I'll be doing my 5th semester of International Logistics at ITESM, Instituto Tecnológico de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey.

We like absurdly long names for our schools over here at Mexico.

I'll be going to Palomar Community College (http://www.palomar.edu/) in the fall.

And the government will be helping pay for it. Yay Montgomery GI Bill. :D

I graduated from the University of Oregon. Our claim to fame? It's the campus where Animal House was filmed.

Well, okay, it's got more claims to fame than that. But that's the most awesome one.

I just started my masters degree in humanistic, transpersonal, and existential psychology at University of West Georgia in January.

I got my Bachelor of Arts in English at Central Methodist University (back then, it was still Central Methodist College) in Fayette, MO. I'm hoping to get my Masters of Library and Information Science from the University of Missouri-Columbia within the next few years, but I'm still feeling a little faint just from the price tag on the GRE. Ouch!

OSU? My roommate did study abroad there for one semester so he could have both Cocks and Beavers paraphenelia.

Legitimately his only other reason was "its as far away as I can go from USC whilst staying within the continental US".

I study at the University of Helsinki, the best uni. in the country! And number 75 in the world or something. I study at the faculty of biosciences.

I also studied at Auckland University, NZ. It was 47th in the world until I left when it dropped to about 60. Correlation totally implies causation.

Actually I think that the University of Helsinki dropped to a place somewhere between 80-100 last year, which is when I started.

I'm pretty sure University of Ottawa was voted best university in the multiverse by the multiverse consortium of meta-consortiums so like, take that. In actuality it's mediocre save for a few good profs and the bilingualism here makes me crave seppuku every other week

One year left in high school.
Then going to do some zivildienst (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zivildienst) because army is big no no for me. Being pacifist and lazy and easily pissed off I wouldn't survive in the army.

And then, if I'm lucky man, I can go to university of Turku. But I've pretty only tiny tibits what I'm going to study. And even though I probably never seem to be that bright here in forums, the majority of people knowing me personally would pretty much say that I can get everywhere I want. It's kind of pressure actually. :/

I study at Umeå University (http://www.umu.se/english/), which for some reason is a really popular choice for exchange students. It's a nice enough campus in a nice enough town, it's cozy and filled with lots of interesting people.

I attended the University of Pittsburgh for three semesters before it bankrupted me and I was forced to work full-time. (Out-of-state without financial aid... don't do it, kiddies.)

Currently finishing my second year at McGill University as a Jazz performance Major in the Schulich School of Music. Last I've heard, McGill was ranked 12th best University in the world, and is technically the best school to attend in North America music-wise (but that was what they said last year, don't know for this year).

Very cozy atmosphere, even if it's right in the middle of downtown Montreal. I really love my school, but it sucks administration-wise, dammit.

I just graduated from East Texas Baptist University, a pretty good local private college and got a Bachelor's in Business Administration.

I am currently going to Texas State Technical College because I owe lots of money and being enrolled at least as a half time student means I dont have to pay back all that money I borrowed.

I'm going to be a senior at King's College in glorious Wilkes-Barre, PA. Also known as "The Diamond City" just south of Scranton (Where TV's The Office takes place) (American version)

And by glorious I mean "crime riddled" and "place where several judges were just fired for corruption charges" and "area with a large amount of shopping centers which despite logic remain open even though it is unlikely that the surrounding cities can support them" and "the one place I've ever heard of which had a McDonalds close down"

I could go on

All in all I like it there

I study at the Braunschweig University of Technology, but so far it has been a total letdown.
