While not a student myself, I nonetheless invite all students to step up and tell us a little about what their plans are for the upcoming school year. I know we have several college froshes. Any graduate students? Anyone going for their doctorate?

Retaking math and speech after a year of not being in community college.

about 4 months into a 4 year degree plan.

This will be my fourth undergrad year, working toward BAs in Anthropology and Archaeology, but I'll have to attend one additional semester, possibly only part-time, to complete one of the requirements of my anthro major, because of some scheduling difficulties that arose when I transferred. On the upside, this gives me a little extra time to figure out whether I want to start working toward my PhD right away, or what.

This should be the last sememster at community college. Will be transfering into UCSD come Spring quarter if all goes well this semester with second semester Chinese.

Not sure what I'm going to do about my majors. I'm still declared as a Physics/Math double but I think I'm going to change (again) to Psychology/(something to fill out biology and chem courses for med school). Found out about this Navy scholorship program for medschool that I think I'm going to apply for after getting my bachelors. Still thinking about that though.

Jeeze, everyone is getting old x_x I remember when all these threads used to be about high school

Still trying to get some core college classes knocked out, but my chain of command is being difficult, so it looks like I am probably going to have to wait until after I get out to go through college. 30 year old graduate ack x_x

Forth year, third year at this school getting my BDes, major illustration. I have one more year left after this. Undecided on taking another year to get my Masters.

Going to be having no life and randomly crashing at people's apartments.

Second year... Theatre design and technology major... though I was more or less told that I probably wouldn't finish in 4 years because I didn't start my major classes in my freshman year... but I don't care... Probably pick up a minor so I can stay in full-time, if I have to.

I may go for a Master's and try to get on as an adjunct prof somewhere but I won't know if I want to go for it until after I get my BFA.

14 more courses, and I'm a college graduate. If I gun my way through the basic semesters and take some extra stuff over the winter and summer semesters, I can finish with room to spare next fall.

Just wondering...

Is it possible to attend 2 schools at once? I'm going to the Art Institute of Pittsburg, but I have 32 out of 60 credits for an aeronautical engineering associates at Embry-Riddle. I wonder if I can double up.

Going into third year of my honours degree in CS with an Artificial Intelligence specialization. Going to be taking some hardcore theory classes, and maybe an ethics, as well as being a VP on the society and a student rep on the council.

Should be a fun year.

Wasn't planning on it. I was hoping to either get a job or go for an MBA at either Richard Ivey or the University of Michigan. I'd really like to get the MBA though.
