I'm curious.
Please see my "Saving Seals" (sic) post about my Alma Mater.
I also went to UF for a year and HCC for two years.
I graduated from MS in NY and HS in FL.
If you went to HS, dropped out at 16, went to school learn a trade like my father, anything... I'd like to hear about it.
I would link my other thread to this one but I have to run.

What did you study for fun at The New School, Jon?
My son is getting a second master's degree. I don't think it's strictly necessary for his job, but it's in computer science, so I am also not sure it's strictly fun, either. Maybe it is for him. lol
As for me, BS from Murray State, MS from Ole Miss, MFA from Rutgers Camden, PhD from U Exeter.
The last two were fun, but the MFA also made the academic career possible. The PhD was good for the academic career and it's currently getting me the opportunity to write academic books for not very much money and to do teaching gigs that are fun and reasonably well-paid.

Got the decals today from campus bookstore.
Cut them in two leaving the original seals unopened.
@andyd You might like this part.
Wrapped decals carefully in a few sandwich bags.
Archived them in my files.
$30 plus shipping for a few decals.
The invoice said - Thank you. Your purchase supports the campus community.
Ok, then!

Went to high school at PHS. Its proximity to Arkansas drew teachers from Arkansas State, which is widely known as an accredited day care center. This became evident when I go to Jesus Tech, aka Central Methodist College, which I attended for one year. For my sophomore year I transferred to the University of Missouri. I walked into a second level economics class and sat near my economic professor from Jesus Tech, who was a student in the class. He was know for saying equilibrum, with emphasis on the second syllable. Someone shouted "equilibrium"in class, which cleared a common question in several minds. I never let an education get in the way of a good time, but I did get a BA in four years. Then came Law School at the University of Missouri. A best friend there became editor of the Law Review, which is a very high academic honor. I was the social director of the largest fraternity at the school. I was rightfully in charge of the parties. I got my degree in 1972 and wondered WTF did I do that for?
