My undergrad stuff will be done at Carleton University. It is ranked 10th in Canada in 201st in the world. But my important education will be done at University of Toronto. Best in Canada, 17th overall and it is one of the best med schools in the world.

Camborne School of Mines. One of the best mining schools in the world and its part of Exeter university which is ranked 11th in the UK.

Not bad considering I didnt even do A-Levels

university of alberta

I'll be going to the U of BC in Kelowna, and also possibly in Vancouver. I think the type of uni that would be called is a 'University'. Apparently it's what you get when you take the universe and make it all itty like, so, it's pretty cool to go to one and take part in that.. miniaturized conglomerate of the cosmos and such. Better than a college for sure, since a college is just another type of school I think.

some of us have gone to a few of those options. poll fail.

I also went to an art school. But I went for the practical side, i.e. graphic design / web development. I wouldn't call college (even art) useless but in this economy a degree isn't really necessary as long as you kick ass and do things efficiently.

My advice to anyone about to go to college is don't worry about getting it done in 4 years, do it on your own schedule. If you can only afford to take one class a year only take one class a year. Don't take out a boatload of a loan or you'll regret it when you finish. Maybe it's different if you end up a doctor or lawyer but it's going to be a hot minute before I pay that sucker off.

Captain Cannabis · 09-06-2011, 05:26 PM

Im at a community college currently.

Starting my third year here lol. Im only one class short of graduating from the community college with an AS, but im gonna stay for a whole nother year and take some more classes/save some money/cause i want to.

I need to start looking into where to transfer to this semester.
It all really depends on two things:
1. How well my communty college credits transfer and
2. $$$

If i have to stay in NJ ill either be at Stockton college or Rutgers. Rutgers may be a better school but it is in a god-awful area IMO.

That being said, i REALLY want to get out of new jersey. There are many schools id love to go to.

University of Vermont is a cool school in an AWESOME area and id love to go there.
Boston Uni would be sweet but hella expensive$$$

Id love to get into canada somehow with a student visa or something and go to Uni of BC and hang with Sir Ex. I was checking out that school and it looked real nice.

But yeah im gonna be applying to schools in the next couple months so if anyone has any suggestions where a Chem major should go im all ears. Location is an extremely important factor b/c why would i pay more to move to some other shithole when i can just stay in NJ and save money. knowwhatimean

Terry · 09-06-2011, 06:17 PM

University of Montana.

Go Griz.

Sir-Ex · 09-06-2011, 06:27 PM

Well if you ever do find your way down to Kelowna, I won't be starting till the fall of 2012.

fenderbender · 09-06-2011, 07:30 PM
