I assume most of you went to KSU for college. But let's just say that if you would have gone someplace else where would you have gone??
-
Harvard probably.
-
Texas or CU
-
arizona state seriously, I was going to establish residence living with family friends and go there. chickened out though.

can you get scholarships? just a handful of schools that you could argue are worth the additional cost over an in state public.
-
Columbia, NYU, Arizona, Oregon, Wisconsin, or some SEC school.
-
Wash-U in St. Louis, Syracuse, Cincinnati, and maaaaaybe Rice.

Yeah. Scott County gives out a ton of ships.

Duke (elite, sister school, etc.)

weird. didn't know counties give out 'ships.
if your grades/scores are good enough and the money is available, go to an ivy, or one of the faux ivy schools (but a real faux ivy, not just some tard school that represents itself as almost ivy). seriously, it will make a huge difference in your life.

Somewhere my dad could still afford to pay 100% of my tuition

QFT.
Though the best advice is go to school where you want to live. Employers typically recruit near by schools. Unless you want to major in engineering, pre-med, accounting or some other hard science, choose a school near where you want to live some day.

Oregon, Oregon State.
-
I mean I've basically decided that I'm going to go to KSU, but am just looking around about where else to go. I really think Arizona or Arizona State would be pretty nice.

You need to look for very favorable girl/guy ratios. I believe Emporia State is pretty good.
-
Maybe Oxford.

Wichita State. :-X
Thank god for the University that is known as "Kansas State."

texas tech
seriously?
y not? your "texas/cu" response was brutally predictable. gtfo.
tech = nice campus, big city, good athletics, international airport, large foreign population, what else could you want?

way to dusty and there is less to do down there than in 'tan.
for me it would be pepperdine, ucla, u of san diego, ASU, oregon, idaho state, washington or maybe vanderbilt. :dunno:
-
arizona state is garbage. crammed campus.
washington would be amazing. i would be "going home" so to speak.
vanderbilt
wtf??? :curse:
-
vanderbilt
wtf??? :curse:
nice campus :-[

I took a quiz on facebook and it said Seattle is the ideal city for me. Maybe U-Dub. Good at basketball, love the football coach, perfect climate. Pro sports.
Maybe we have something here. . .
-
perfect climate.
um, no. it sucks.

who cares where. find a place where u will enjoy the most.

....and their athletics being "good" depends on your definition I guess :dunno: Apologies if parody post.
EDIT: Also, mrs. dave just told me the foreign population one isn't true...so I'm starting to think parody. apologies.

Florida State.

Had the Iowa State papers in front of me.
Just couldn't turn down Kstate.
I had :kstatriot: before it was cool.

Free school is the best school. So if that means going the juco route, that's cool. (Just make sure you're out on your own..nobody likes living with Mom and Dad while going to school.)
After that, cheap school is the best school. Pick a major, find out which in state school has the best program for that major, and go there.

I have 2 cousins who go to school at Pepperdine (brother and sister). Place is absurdly nice when they showed me around, and one of them is living with this really rich kid who owns an Aston Martin, has a maid, a gardener, and lives right next to the beach.
Just amazing, v. jealous.

Just go to KAZZOU. Close to home and I'm having a blast here

Starbucks doesn't equal good coffee. If you're going to go a city full of smug people might as well make it a real city like New York or Chicago. You might get away with Portland but then you're just being a hipster.I took a quiz on facebook and it said Seattle is the ideal city for me. Maybe U-Dub.

True. Highest suicide rate of any city in the nation I believe. The weather seriously messes people up. Nobody wants to live where it rains all the time.

Some very good advice on this thread.
For me, it came down to UW in my final two, but that was partly because I had some loose family connections to Seattle. I actually accepted a place there, but then backed out because I decided I wanted to stay closer to home. I think it is a great school in a really great city, though. Ultimately, how far you want to get from home is another consideration you must also make.
One other big question is whether you want a big public university (which it sounds like) or a smaller liberal arts school (Grinnell, Oberlin), which haven't been mentioned much in this thread. Early on, my dad was really pimping Rice to me, which gives a really great education for a relatively low tuition (or used to). But I didn't want to live in Houston (or anywhere in Texas). By the way, if you go Ivy, the quality of life at Harvard really, really, really sucks. Yale isn't that much better. You will have a much better college experience at Brown or Dartmouth or Princeton, IMO.
Ultimately, my choice came down in part to wanting to be close, but not TOO close, to home. And money. And my choice of major. Good luck.

Not a bad campus there. :popcorn:

In the same position you're in cas. 99% sure i wanna go to K-State, but if i had to pick another school it would be Colorado State. Perfect climate, close to skiing, and Ft. Collins is the #1 place to live in the US according to some magazine. also, has alot of the same majors KSU has.

Purdue seems nice.

Spent 4 months on a project in Lubbock. It's in the middle of a flat, dusty desert. People were pretty nice though. We stayed in a gated apartment complex that was pretty kick ass, 2 pools, fitness center, pool table in room w/big screen TV and pretty good stereo. Great place to hang out and drink beer. Complex was about 90% college kids. Must say one thing about Lubbock/TT. There are a TON of hot chicks there. We worked our asses off down there but had a pretty good time too. On a side note, we stood the flag poles at the project the day before the Big XII championship game. Had my powercat flag flying loud and proud that Monday after we bitchslapped OU. :kstatriot: The locals were all kind of :nono: but after I pointed out we had beaten the Sooners they were more :blindfold:

Wish I would have went to school in California, Malibu is a great city.
Would have had to get a loan though, vs paid for tuition @ ksu

I used to really like illinois for some reason. think it had to do w/ their bball team of gill, bardo, anderson, etc. but going out of state was never an option though (too expensive). i did go to cloud county for one glorious year. :woot:

Rational advice found in this thread:
Free school is the best school. So if that means going the juco route, that's cool. (Just make sure you're out on your own..nobody likes living with Mom and Dad while going to school.)
After that, cheap school is the best school.
QFT, particularly in that an undergraduate degree these days is moderately less impressive than a high school diploma was a few decades ago. Thus if you plan to stop with an undergrad degree incur as little debt as possible while realizing that your degree is going to be next to worthless or recognize that:
just a handful of schools that you could argue are worth the additional cost over an in state public.
Specifically:
if your grades/scores are good enough and the money is available, go to an ivy, or one of the faux ivy schools (but a real faux ivy, not just some tard school that represents itself as almost ivy). seriously, it will make a huge difference in your life.
Also if you're one of the very very rare college bound kids who knows exactly what they want to do and will never consider changing your major it might be worthwhile to consider prominent programs at non-prominent institutions. But since most people change their majors a few times it can be dicey to choose a poor institution based on a good department that's probably not where you'll be by the time you graduate anyway.
Also very rational but not a primary concern:
Though the best advice is go to school where you want to live. Employers typically recruit near by schools. Unless you want to major in engineering, pre-med, accounting or some other hard science, choose a school near where you want to live some day.
That matters for the first job, maybe the second (depending on the tenure of the first) but after that either you'll: have accumulated decent track record, have washed out of your profession, or you'll be doing your own thing. It's absolutely true that it'll be easier to find your first gig close to your college but it's far from impossible to do it far away, it just takes a bit more effort.

Virginia, Duke, North Carolina, UCLA, or UC-San Diego.
I love Charlottesville, the Triange, and San Diego. UCLA is an absolutely mesmerizingly beautiful campus, so I'd love to spend four years there.
Ultimately, had I not met my wife, I'd be living in one of those three areas.
I was going to apply to Duke in high school, but my Dad said, "If you go in-state, we'll pay your tuition because we have savings bonds set aside for your education." I said, "Sold."
-
Coming out of HS, almost went to Illinois but was not big on ridic. tuition or incredibly annoying people from Chicago suburbs who would have surrounded me there (one dude used the term "clusterfrack" to describe roughly 80 different things during my visit) on the boring campus in the small town surrounded by corn fields. Was bitterly disappointed to find that the drug of choice was alcohol - very weak and unadventurous form of youthful rebellion. Felt like I was in the middle of an exceptionally bad Roseanne episode.
Almost transferred to UT after my freshman year at KSU. :peek:
Grad school - went to UW (first winter in Seattle had me in a physiological well - it's called S.A.D.S.). UW campus is an architectural travesty (undergraduate library = UGLY) redeemed only slightly by the gorgeous cherry trees on the N side of campus. Amazing foresight building a massive plaza in the middle of campus using the slickest bricks known to man given that it rains nearly every day during the fall/winter/spring. I didn't enjoy Seattle much. It's good that Seattle has successful industries. It's bad (for Seattle) that 1/3 of Seattle's creative class has migrated to Portland because they couldn't outbid Microsoft employees and people in the biomedical field for housing. Seattle has amazing water recreation options, though, and stunning views of the Cascades/Olympics (not just Mt. Rainier) on the rare clear days.
I should have gone to Michigan or UCSB ( :love:) for grad school. Still don't know why I didn't go to UCSB. Campus is a weird mixture of trailers/modular buildings (not joking), stunning classical architecture - not the best, but hey...it's on the fracking Pacific Ocean and right next to a nice little airport. Santa Barbara is expensive but soooooo beautiful and...sunny. People live the good life at UCSB, man.

Actually koug I think it's more the rule than the exception. Most majors are worthless or almost worthless and even in the solid ones (e.g., engineering & the hard sciences) there are so many folks running around with graduate degrees that the traditional undergrad degree has been somewhat devalued.
-
Dude, I have a Master's Degree and am not using it, but the biggest things I got from college were learning to discipline myself, stay focused on a job, and work with others. Unless you know exactly what you want to do, go to college for the experience of being in college.
My story ... When I was an undergrad at Emporia State, the girl-to-guy was calculated at 2.2:1. Back in those days, SINGLE was an acronym for Stay Intoxicated Nightly Get Laid Everyday.
ESU did not prepare me for grad school at KSU, where the girl-to-guy ratio was reversed at 1:2. I did not develop the proper skills for getting laid during the babe scarcity of KSU after having spent 4 years in a babe abundance at ESU.
So there's that to think about.

Still depends on the engineering degree (which discipline and area emphasis) and what school it came from. I would agree w/ you that many 4-year engineering degrees have become devalued, but not all. It also depends on what you want to do with that degree.

I'll believe it if it's true. I'm just skeptical because it's not like K-State is bursting with babes. It would seem to be even less likely that Emporia State was.

Weren't they a prominent education college back then? That would help explain the female abundance.

In Computer Science (not your "typical" engineering degree) many companies (2) have told me they would rather have someone with their bachelor and let them work, then be without them for a couple years getting your Masters.
In CS tho, going to grad school is good for specializing in diff. areas of computing
-
Comp Sci very good bachelors degree. If you know linux (or freeBSD) and one of the derivatives of C++ (C#, java ) you will never be out of work for long. Masters is a bit of a waste of time, and especially money, when it comes to programming. I know a lot of very successful programmers that never went to college or have degrees unrelated to programming. :nerd:
-
Most K-Staters view college degrees as freaking vocational certificates.
There are a lot of majors that have a lot of value even if they don't lead to a lot of money.

Java is separating itself from C++ rather quickly, at least from what I've seen in my limited time in the workforce.
Besides, the logic you learn in your CS curriculum is the key. Once you have that foundation, you can pick up any language fairly easily.

QFT on Colorado State. Back in high school Brock Landers and another buddy used one of our official college visits to check out Colorado State. He already knew he was going there and I just wanted a day off from school, so we turned it into a sweet road trip. Ft. Collins seemed like a really nice town but in the end there was no way to justify the out of state tuition. I got a good laugh when we ended up pisspounding them in the Holiday Bowl.....although my friend never did pay me the case of Natty Lite we bet onthat game. :chainsaw:

Once upon a time that was true but now that most liberal arts cirricula are more focused on teaching students what to think rather than how to think it's certainly not true any longer, at least not in a general sense.
Interesting aside on the concept of college as vocational education: the Harvard faculty initially vehemently opposed the teaching of law at Harvard as they believed it was merely a vocational pursuit and that the university's reputation would be damaged by its inclusion. They were right of course, law school is merely vocational training, but one wonders if the present faculty would still identify it as such.
-
Knowing that I would go to grad school straight out of undergrad before I chose a school, the prestigiousness of my undergrad wouldn't really be an issue. It is name on your latest degree that usually matters most. So obviously any reasonable sports fan who could go back in time and pick a school to attend, would choose the institution where their fanhood would grow largest. Thus, I would choose the school that was most successful in sports over the time period I was in college...For me ('03-'07) I would've gone to Florida or USC for obvious reasons.

i still think texas tech.

during the above mentioned time period usc won 1 national championship in fball. florida won 2 national champsionships in fball and 2 in basketball. heck, even lsu has won 2 national championships in fball recently. usc is a joke. you should apologize to florida gator fans and alumni everywhere w/ this nonsense.

seriously? do you honestly count 2006 and 2008 as national titles?
usc had an undisputed one in 2004. that >>>> florida's crap titles.

during the above mentioned time period usc won 1 national championship in fball. florida won 2 national champsionships in fball and 2 in basketball. heck, even lsu has won 2 national championships in fball recently. usc is a joke. you should apologize to florida gator fans and alumni everywhere w/ this nonsense.
seriously? do you honestly count 2006 and 2008 as national titles?
usc had an undisputed one in 2004. that >>>> florida's crap titles.
which one of florida's four major sport national titles in the last four years do you not count?

thanks. american eagle in your face.

Almost went to tcu, and due to being a complete nerd in HS and an NMS, was getting info from schools all over. Divine intervention resulted in me going to KSU. :thumbsup:
I did consider Carnegie Mellon among other for grad school, but instead just hit the work force. While my biology and theatre degrees really didn't help much stand-alone, the combination resulted in an entry level job that has, with a significant amount of on the job training and work seminars, lead to a decent career so far.

Most K-Staters view college degrees as freaking vocational certificates.
There are a lot of majors that have a lot of value even if they don't lead to a lot of money.
K-State is a pretty cynical degree dude. Embrace it.
