College students - What school/alumni, what major?

Bob McDob · Post by **Bob McDob** » 2003-01-27 04:24pm

Self-explanatory.

I should also add I'm looking for a good computer graphics college and would like suggestions.

Carnegie Mellon. No, I didn't go there. I meant they were known for graphics work. If you just want the bottom-line dead serious brute force answer, then MIT Media Lab.

I went to Michigan Tech.

San Jose State University - BS Environmental Studies (1996)

It was an okay education but useless for getting a job, especially in the environmental field. However, I did like SJSU and would go there again if I had to do it all over.

Fordham University - History Major Poli Sci Minor

Did absolutely nothing for me job wise but taught me to read and write critcally and gave me a better understanding of the world around me.

However as there were none too many job prospects that paid good money for a History Major it led me to:

Fordham Law School - Where I sold my soul to the devil and have been working to get it back ever since.

University of Newcastle Upon Tyne - Computer Science. It's a bit meh, not very challenging so far but I'm only in my second semester.

Lawrence Technological University- Architecture makor (usually called "Archy? I'm sorry"). Not too bad provided you don't try to make the four year plan. It'll kill you, quick.

Currently in the process of pledging to one of the fraternities there.

If you want to study engineering in Portugal, then IST is the only place to be. [Verified by the fact that the two portuguese SD.net regulars are from there. And there are no spanish here for me to bash. Oh well.. there's always hope. Lousy spaniards..]

I got a Phd. in business.

(Oh, wow, exciting!)

No, business isn't exciting. You make money, but its very dull.
I was rather good in math and was interested in physicts, but, noooo
my scolarship ( for some fucked-up reason) let me have a choice between business and art. And I'm no artist.

Ugh.

If you had taken more math, you could have been ;P

Hofstra University, BS Video/Television (2002).

My school's pretty good for studio-based television, but computer graphics is only a tiny part of the art department (which has painting, pottery, desktop publishing, etc etc etc.). There's an art institute in Philadelphia that's more suited to computer graphics but I forget the name.

Luke Starkiller · Post by **Luke Starkiller** » 2003-01-27 07:13pm

Carleton University, Aerospace Engineering, Aerodynamics specialization, year II.

The only place in Canada to go for Aero except for the elite EngSci program at U of T (I didn't get in, the cutoff was over 95%) or Ryerson; but then Ryerson doesn't really count for anything anyway.

I know it's not an art institute, but that sounds kinda like Carnegie Mellon.

No...this was a specialty college. I'll ask my sister since she was considering going there.

Hmmm.

Princeton University, class of 2002. Majored in Public Policy, which is somewhat similar to Political Science.

Haven't decided if I want to do a Master's yet.

Biology and maybe Physics @ University of South Florida.

Ringling in Sarasota is good for computer graphics, but they're pretty selective. University of Central Florida kinda has a program, but it isn't accredited.

Keevan_Colton · Post by **Keevan_Colton** » 2003-01-27 08:11pm

University of Strathclyde - Computer Science.

Taking time away right now due to severe depression....will be going back into second year.

Post by **Zaia** » 2003-01-27 08:30pm

Graduate of Towson University, Towson, Maryland with a BS in music education. Will undoubtedly be returning for a Masters at a later date; when and in which area are yet to be determined.

The Dark · Post by **The Dark** » 2003-01-27 08:44pm

Florida Southern College, Junior, Religion Major, Philosophy Minor, possibly going to pick up an Economics Major on the side (since we don't have a Physics major any more).

Not UCF. They're decent, but really the only program I can speak for as being good is their engineering. All the others are average at best right now.
