StPaulHusker Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Northeast Community College Norfolk, NE. I liked it I guess. I wasn't mature enough for any type college when I went. I think I should have waited 5-6 years out of HS before going. Quote Link to comment
carlfense Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 UNL for a couple years shy of a decade. The school itself was OK . . . very few professors challenge students . . . but the football and parties made up for it. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 UNL for undergraduate in business. I should have taken it way more serious than I did. I believe it's a good school if you go with the right attitude to get a good education. If you want to sluff off and party, that is possible too. There have been extremely successful people who have graduated from there with a good education and ones who just squeaked by and got a diploma. It's what you put into it. I have taken some executive training courses at various colleges such as Harvard and Chicago University. I was very impressed with both schools. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 I guess at the time...I did not want to be "challenged" and I never felt like the teachers/profs were "on my side" if that makes sense. Later in Grad School it was the opposite. Quote Link to comment
wiuhusker Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Spent 2 years at Highland Community College in Kansas (was the only school where I could keep playing baseball). After that spent 3 years at Western Illinois University. WIU for me was the best thing at the time. Needed to grow up and get away from home. The school is definitely in a college town and there is very little to do there outside of party, which isn't a bad thing at all. The good thing is that the college is 3 hours from Chicago and 2 hours from St. Louis so a nice weekend trip wasn't hard to find. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 UNL, Pepperdine, George Mason. All three were pretty good places to go to school. Quote Link to comment
Junior Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 unk and i loved it. Can't spell drunk without UNK. Quote Link to comment
Junior Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 UNL for undergrad. U of Illinois in Urbana for grad school. Also did postdoc work at Michigan. Loved UNL and Lincoln, Illinois is a great school but I don't love the town, Michigan is a great school in a great city. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 UNL, Pepperdine, George Mason. All three were pretty good places to go to school. It must have sucked to attend classes on a campus that is on a Malibu cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Baker University - "The oldest and finest institution of higher learning in the state of Kansas." I played basketball and double-majored in Finance and Economics. It was the best four years of my life. I wish I could go back. As far as school, the faculty was second to none. Beautiful small campus. Harlaxton - Grantham, England. Studied abroad for 4 months. Home of Sir Isaac Newton, and all of the bars are named accordingly (Gravity, Arc, 90 Degrees). Great faculty from all over that taught European history and normal curriculum so you weren't behind when you returned. Got to travel a lot and play with some semi-professional basketball squads. Washburn University - JD. I like to claim the majority of the Kansas Supreme Court and forget about the Phelps family. First year sucked, second year was cool, third year is unnecessary. I'll be paying off loans the rest of my life, but I would do it again. Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 UNL- loved my time in Lincoln. I was more of a partier/socializer than a buckle down and hit the books type. Can't say I was impressed with my classes or the quality of professors but that probably had more to do with me than them. But the euchre, poker, drinking, & football games........OMG. lol Also did some classes at Southeast CC in Lincoln after UNL. It was ok but seemed sort of like going back to high school, really super easy, you guys. They insisted that I take their math classes even though I had previously far exceeded their offerings at UNL. Tested out of every math class they offered in about 1 week. Quote Link to comment

NUance Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 UNL, Pepperdine, George Mason. All three were pretty good places to go to school. Ha ha! Why not George Mason? It's a good option in the DC area. Especially since it's about one third the price of Georgetown or George Washington. Quote Link to comment
