Title is kind of self explanitory... Just wanted to see how much school spirit BSN has, and what Universitites or other colleges people attended! To make it more interesting, what was your mascot?

I'll start us off! (lists degrees if you want.)

Currently attending UCSD, Sixth College, Clarion Writers Institude. My major is science fiction/fantasy literature with a minor in astronomy. Holder of an AA in Literature, an AA in General studies and a Certification in Humanties. UCSD's mascot is the Tritton!

 I'm from the Netherlands and college works a little different here, though we still have Bachelor and Master degrees like every other country in the world.

Anyway, I'm currently doing an university education in Game Design & Development. I plan to get my Bachelor of Arts within 3 years and my Master of Arts the year after.

I'm studying at Utrecht School of Arts by the way, or more commonly known by it's Dutch name: Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht.

It's an awesome university and I've learned a lot of proffesional things about games and video-game design.

Wow, pretty darn awesome! Netherlands is such a beautiful country, I need to visit sometime!

Haha thanks!

Yeah, The Netherlands is... interesting... I has it's ups and downs. But I'm certainly happy that I grew up in a place like The Netherlands. I wouldn't wanna trade this country for the USA or England. I love The Netherlands.

Eventually I'll have to move I'm affraid. Although the game-industry is getting bigger in The Netherlands, most attractive jobs within the game-industry are found elsewhere (Canada mostly). So when I'm done with my game-design study, I'm affraid I'll have to leave The Netherlands. 

I grew up in San Diego, California. I really, really don't like it here. Too many macho, wannabe douchebags here to be a nerd like myself. When I started UCSD though it was like a little island, a safe heaven with all these other nerds! I finally felt at home and no like I was a stranger in a strange land. I really don't know what I'll do when I graduate, but I do know I'll move far, far away from San Diego. However, I'll always have a special place in my heart for UCSD. I think that's what college is all about, you study sure, but I think the most important thing about it is that you are around people like yourself.

I used to attend a University in Michigan, many years ago. I had a mathematics degree and was intending to become a professor. Many life circumstances occured, and I never finished after a couple years. Now I currently donate my time to online message boards as a floating ghost. Nifty, eh?

Monash University, Information Technology and Systems - Information Management.

Though, it's called Enterprise Information Management now. They change it up every few years, Software Development and Web Systems which were majors when I started are also gone/replaced/renamed. I'd imagine it gets really confusing after a while.

I studied theology, philosophy at a church's own university in Berlin and one year at the Philips University in Marburg - there I did some studies in ethnology too.

[Warheadz]

I've never been in an university.

SUCK ON THAT, BSN! D:<

Does setting fire or taking hostages at a univeristy count? If not then no.

I got my degree at the University of Hull studying Geography and History. 

[Seagloom]

The School of Hard Knocks.

...Or rather, I won't tell because it would give away too much about my location. I can say I'm studying computer information technology with a focus on networking and security.

@Luc0s

Uh... wow. Rude much? Theology and philosophy can be a huge factor in the social sciences. It can certainly be useful if you are studying to become an anthropologist, historian, or archeologist. It may also be an option for teachers at certain schools. As a lame-o wannabe writer, I can also attest that *all* knowledge can be useful when culling material for a story too. Useless knowledge does not exist.

It is not "practical" if you are planning to go corporate or focusing on a hard science such as engineering or biology, but those fields do not encompass everything out there.

Philosophy is and isn't useful. I was a philosophy major in undergrad. It didn't help me find a job. It has helped with evaluating ideas and with knowing who I am. They taught me to think in college. Very few people have that skill.

On a side note, an astonishing number of successful comedians studied philosophy.

[Seagloom]

Because the subject of theological study has impacted human society since before recorded history? Theology is not exclusively focused on the currently popular desert monotheisms. Whether to specialize in that or not is a choice made by the student. Again, anthropology and archeology can benefit from that background depending on a person's precise academic goals.

It can and has also been used in sociological studies. I have read books where religion was examined as part of gender studies, or women studies specifically. Theology is sort of like psychology in that unless you take it very far, you are unlikely to find a good job where it is specifically applicable.

Now, I am not saying entering into a profession with degrees in theology or philosophy would be easy. The demand is small and there are much better options if one's only concern is putting a roof over their head, and paying for their next meal. I'm only stating they are not utterly useless.

Both theology and philosophy sound like a waste of time to me. I'm a practical person. I need something practical to go with. If I can't actually use the knowledge I get taught, it's useless and a waste of time in my opinion. Besides, theology and philosophy can't even be considered actual knowledge in my opinion. Both are based on speculations and more speculations.

Depends on what kind of philosophy you are studying. It's true that alot of philosophy may seem meaningless, but it's also intended as a sort of mental exercise for the mind, similar to how lifting weights improves your physique. It's not always what you're talking about, but how you're talking about it.  Alot of what you're taught deals with why past philosophers were right/wrong on a variety of subjects, which can have direct and indirect applications in everyday life. Since philosophy deals with critical reasoning, it has a direct impact on your ability to argue, articulate yourself, and make decisions. I'd say those are some practical applications.

That's why I chose to double my philosophy degree with a chemistry degree. In the first case, I was simply refining a skill that I always possessed, the ability to think, but with the chemistry degree I learned something completely new in a field I previously had no knowledge on.
