Granny_Weatherwax Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I found a reference to my alma mater in one of Hakim's books and mentioned it on the K-8 board. Due to that thread I have found a few other women who attended Mount Holyoke College. I am curious to see how many other connections can be made. --- I have ties to Mount Holyoke and The Colorado College. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFSinIL Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Local community colleges (Santa Ana, Coastline (on-line) and Costa Mesa) then San Francisco State, Chapman College (BA), UCLA (MA) and Northwestern (Phd ABD - had twins, one with autism, and never did get that dissertation finished.) All in the late 70's - mid 8'0s (years - not my age!!!!;);)) I went from a low - C high school student (I HATED school) to a straight A full-scholarship NU grad. student. As soon as I got away from high school and into cc my grades shot up. What a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momofkhm Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 they renamed it to Mary Washington University. They thought it better described the institution as they now have a graduate school. Funny College of William and Mary has a law school and they are still known as a *college*. No, I'm fine with the name change! really!

Heather in AL Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I went to the local university. The University of Alabama in Huntsville (a.k.a. UAH). I graduated in '93 with a B.S.B.A. and have taken several other classes over the years there in programming, computer classes, and French. Sadly, unlike other people, my college years weren't fun because it was like high school all over again. :( I sure hope my kids have a better experience!

mom2a&z Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 University of Missouri at Kansas City Not your traditional college campus. Very few students lived on campus and most were older and working full time while taking classes.

Wildiris Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 --UC Santa Barbara & UC Santa Cruz when it still had under 10,000 students and regents threatened to close it for having too few students. I liked having professors talk with students in a small class setting. The huge auditoriums with microphones and a professor on a stage seemed so impersonal.

As soon as I got away from high school and into cc my grades shot up. What a difference. Why did you hate high school? Was it boring? Was it the environment? My dh struggled mightily in high school. Almost didn't finish at all. Years later, when he found his niche in college, he wound up on the dean's and president's lists! I think it was maturity for him . . .
