That wonderful thing we call college.

[The Defibrillator]

Attending? Planning on attending? What's your major? Where at?

Right now I'm just at this crummy community college (Collin County Community College) and still living at home. (I'm only 17)

I think I'm gonna get my associates degree in Graphic Design here, and then transfer to BYU and major in medicine (I'm thinking an ophthalmologist, or optometrist, but I'm not sure yet. Any suggestions welcome).

Your turn.

Currently attending Gloucester County Community college. My major is Computer Science. I'm not doing so well, but I'm hoping to change my ways and do much better.

In Germany we first get a general degree (after grade 13), then go to college and specialize. I'm in my fourth semester now, studying English and German for grammar school and college teachers (my English is still crappy but I'm planning to spend some time abroad). After about 8-10 semesters I have to pass my first major exam, then do two practical years at school (for which I'm finally paid for), pass another major exam which counts four times as much as the first one and *ZING* I'm a teacher!
Geez, I'll be 27 by then...

I'm on an extended break from my BA (double major in Anthropology/History). I have plans to finish up that degree stateside, and hopefully go into post-grad studies at University of Wales in Aberystwyth for International Politics.

I'm at De Montfort University in Leicester in England. In my second year of BA (Hons) Media Studies and things are going okay. I live in an end terrace house that my parents bought (ooh get me) with a friend (another was supposed to move in but won't till summer)

Right now I am at the University of Michigan. Next semester I finish up my Bachelors of Science in Biopsychology/Cognitive Psychology, and in January I am going to Germany for six months to finish up my Bachelors of Arts for German. I plan to go to grad school either at UofM or Carnegie Mellon to study HCI (human computer interaction).

I'm attending animation courses in "le Cegep du vieux Montreal" (old Montreal College) Pretty damn cool if I do say so myself.

[Taloniss]

I'm at the local College studying Auto Mechanics.

i was lucky to get my GED

I'm at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where the department of computer science has been kicking my ass for three years now. Hopefully next May I will get that BS in CS that I've been striving for this entire time. It can't come quick enough.

[Machias Banshee]

University of Maine, baby...!

damn chancellor's trying to mess with our schools and consolidate.

I'm not sure by semester, but I paid $3000 Canadian for a two year college course.

It depends on if it is a public or private university and whether or not you are an in-state student.

EDIT: The numbers given out by UNC-Chapel Hill, where I attend, show that for the 2003-2004 academic year, the total cost for a NC resident is $13,088 and for an out-of-state resident it is $25,436. UNC-Chapel Hill also requires that all incoming freshman have a personal laptop computer, which will add another $1500-$2500. Knowledge is power, and it don't come cheap.

That sounds rather standard, price wise for your average state university. My first year at Uni cost approximately US$25,000, including the manditory two semestres living at an on-campus dorm. I was an out-of-state student the first semestre, in-state the second. Scholarships helped eat up a good bit of that bill, but I still got ripped off.

For UofM, tuition changes depending on what school you are in, and what year you are. For me, in the school of Literature, Sciences, and Arts, tuition is about $8000 a year and then $6000 for dorm, then add on a bunch of miscelaneous fees.

[Mars-Chan]

I'm attending Volenteer State Community College, where I will be trying to get my Dental Assistant degree.

And YES, I changed my major. I was going to go for a music assistant major but two problems came up:

1) My teacher/instructor wanted me to learn how to play the piano...which, Heaven knows I won't go near unless I'm singing...
2) Said teacher/instructor was pushing me toward the BUSINESS part of the major.
