Couldn't care less for any of them.

1. Most every one of them were hypocrites not worthy of my support after graduation.

2. Every one of them got me into the nightmare of debt I have by assuring me I'd find work after graduation but never helping me develop the skills I really needed to get ahead in life.

Ohio State University, and opposite of pride, here. I made the (ignorant) mistake of not researching the school's undergraduate program. I entered solely based on what I already knew of them, for my major and career field, which just-so-happens to be knowledge of their world renowned graduate program in computer animation. Not to forget the location and cost. I grew up in central Ohio. OSU is right *here.*

Little did I know, their undergraduate program sucks butt.

And I've had to suffer extra time, money, and pain due to my ignorance - and dedication. I'm ready to graduate with a big, bold "F U" to the school. (Shhh, I'm saving the speech for when I walk.)

Fortunately, in Poland Higher education is free, at least they were. I planned that after graduating from the Library Science, sign up for a free study of History. Unfortunately, our current Prime Minister invented that only one college study will be free. Now second diploma will be free only for top 5 graduates.

So i have one small think what i want to tell current Prime Minister of my beloved Poland, f**k You my dear Prime Minsiter :twisted:

I'm very proud of my alma mater. They're regularly ranked amongst the top 50 universities in the world and they have an excellent astrophysical sciences program, which is what I studied. Great faculty, great help with connections to the real world of jobs, amazing unique opportunities to do real world research, etc.

I wouldn't say that I'm very proud of my university, but I like it.

I'm certainly proud that I'm a graduate of Goldsmiths, University of London. One of the best places in the UK to study creative subjects with a good mix of arts, humanities and social science subjects as well as an impressive and diverse alumni. They took a chance on me and I will be forever grateful to them for that.

I'm nostalgic for my days at uni. It was the first time that I felt like I belonged, mainly because there were many other freshmen from many other cultures trying to fit in and be recognized.

It helped that I fell in with a group of Dungeons & Dragons players. I credit those all-night gaming sessions with laying the foundation for my social skills. The acting classes helped too.

My college has its high points and its low points. One thing I have noticed, though, is that the place is not nearly as accepting as it touts. Academics are good, though, and my best friend goes there, and I'm graduating early, so I can't complain.
