I remember hearing this in an episode of Alf years ago, and it's been bugging me ever since. :)

Anyway, I'm still in college, too. I've already put in five years and gotten a BA in English Lit at the University of British Columbia. Yeah, it sounds a lot more snootier than it really is. :p

I'm currently taking part-time courses at the Vancouver Film School.

I went from one extreme to another. I started at a small Penn State campus where there were about 1000 students total (it was in the middle of hicksville). I learned to like it, mainly because I got a lot of work done, but after my sophomore year, I'm at Penn State UP and I love it. The class sizes there is more like Nightflower's. I can do without that, but I love the college town atmosphere - it's almost like home - a suburban type atmosphere where you don't run into 50 people at 50 different places. :)

[Kaner]

I graduated 2001 from the school of Hard Knocks.

16!? where are you from that you start college at 16? or are you just really smart and started school early or skipped grads??

anyway, as far as the whole college/university thing goes, i always thought that "college" was a term for smaller schools and a "university" was bigger and basically had sub schools or majors in every field. correct me if i'm wrong, cause im not sure.

[gtracer72]

A University is a collection of colleges. At Mason, we have a College of Arts & Science, a college of this, a college of that, etc. George Mason University is all of those colleges combined,

Freshman at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill here. I don't have a major yet, but I can say that it sure won't be a math or science. I'll probably do journalism and mass communications.
