Ask HN: Where did you go to college?
What are the alma maters of the HN viewer base?
Enlisted in the USAF, grew up a bit and attempted University of Phoenix Online (a joke), American Military University (part of the American Public University System, another joke), gave up on online school for a bit.
After separating I gave Troy University a try (their entire CS department is online) but they use Blackboard and I've grown to hate Blackboard.
I'll be giving Franklin University a try in the next few months - their interface is appealing, the program looks solid and they've received solid reviews.
I really enjoyed my little time at FSU - it seemed as if I was really learning something and I loved the "feel" of being on campus, hanging out between classes in breezeways with other students - it just felt like happy (if that makes any sense).
A lot has changed in the last 8 years though, family/life/work and going full-time on-campus just isn't feasible any longer. The majority of online schools disappoint me because the average student is a complete idiot with no concern for spelling/grammar.
I guess I'm a unique target for the online schools, since I actually want to learn something - not just earn a piece of paper.
Oh, and: University of Maryland (both College Park and University College).
UW Madison, Computer Science.
Edit: My skill set reflects that, though. ;)
Actually, I dropped out my Junior year of High School with 3 months to go. I spent the time plus the summer working for my mom and decided to re-enroll Senior year. Even after going back on my accord, I still barely earned the 10 credits I needed my final year to graduate. I teeter back and forth on whether I regret it or not to this day.
I do plan on trying again when I turn 23, though.
Hey, if they advertise on daytime cable, they have to be good, right?
Go Sooners!
Why?
