College/University??

LythincaMan · 11-6-2010, 11:07 PM

Hey guys.

Are any of you attending college/university? If so, for what?

I'm in first year (out of 3 or 5) of Computer Systems Technology. My school (Durham College) is the 2nd best school in the world for this course. (As rated by the cisco netriders competition.)

Gotta say, having a 97% is ace. You know, they teach us some great stuff. Exploitation(DDOS, Man In Middle Attacks, Packet Sniffing, etc), security, servers, networks, OSI model, TCP/IP model, how to VLSM subnet, programming, hardware, and CIDR etc.

Aww yee. Its easy stuff.

University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), ranked number 1 for up and coming colleges/universities in the USA.

Going there for Information Systems Management. I am almost done, only a couple semesters left. I am interning at New Day Financial (Fortune 500) at the moment and hopefully can get a nice job with the connections I am making!

YEAH

LythincaMan · 11-6-2010, 11:14 PM

Nice man. Im currently employed at an anime convention for networking. xD But hopefully can get a job at cisco, once I'm done. (Or intern there. They love our school. My teacher works for Cisco).

**rushyrulz** · 11-6-2010, 11:14 PM

University of Nebraska Omaha for Computer/Electronics Engineering (I think... [still a freshman])

**ninjafury** · 11-6-2010, 11:15 PM

Awesome! I am a network admin at New Day but hopefully will work up to being in the management there soon enough!

LythincaMan · 11-6-2010, 11:22 PM

Sweet

Wineandbread · 11-6-2010, 11:23 PM

Yo Ninjafury do you know a certain Muhed Rana or Kelvin Tran at UMBC? Probably not since they're freshies but they're some of my high school bros

I'm stationed over at Carnegie Mellon University with leonid, though I'm planning to major in Materials Science & Engineering. Might possibly go double-major in BME, and probably minor in Audio Engineering cause I can B)

**ninjafury** · 11-6-2010, 11:29 PM

Actually I don't. They sound like cool people though since they know someone on FFR haha. The only person I know at Carnegie Mellon is Kyle Andrews, he went to my high school. He was a grade below me though. I think he runs cross country there.

**Windscarredfaith** · 11-6-2010, 11:51 PM

I'm a junior at Rutgers University. Doing a bachelor's for Mathematics and a master's for Education. :3

Good to see everyone aiming high and doing things they like to do!! :] Keep up the work!

**Shouka** · 11-6-2010, 11:55 PM

I am a senior computer engineering student at the University of Maryland, College Park.

Ninjafury, any chance you know a guy named Nathaniel Kim?

**iironiic** · 11-7-2010, 12:00 AM

I am currently a sophomore here at SUNY Geneseo (SUNY's Honors College) majoring in mathematics and minoring in economics.

My plans after undergrad is to obtain a Ph.D. in either mathematics, statistics, or economics. Not sure where yet, but as of now, Duke is a major consideration.

**PsYcHoZeRoSk8eR** · 11-7-2010, 12:24 AM

Information Assurance and Security Engineering senior at DePaul University. I should be graduating in the winter, as I only have 1 class left after this quarter.

**RagedBerserker** · 11-7-2010, 12:39 AM

Sophomore year at SUNY Oswego... Planning on being a high school History teacher... I've got a ways to go though..

MrGiggles · 11-7-2010, 02:39 AM

Sophomore at RIT in Rochester, NY. Studying videogame design and development, which is as awesome as it sounds.

And for me:
First year undergrad in Honours Mathematics at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. Apparently it's a very hard school to get into, and a really good school. I feel dumb. D= It's a very asian school. It's kinda funny. It's gotta be the Faculty of Math we have here :P
I get to pick my major next year, but I have no idea what kind of math I want to do. I was thinking possibly Pure Math. Dunno. Whatever, I have a little bit of time to think... D=

Pure Math ftw!! I am also in the honors program for math here at my school

You should consider getting a graduate degree in pure math if you are qualified enough to be in one of the top schools in mathematics. The only thing you need is a passion in math, which I'm sure you have lol

There is a bunch of people in RIT that I know. Do you happen to know Steven Dearstyne or James Brown?

Yeah, one worry I had was that it was going to be one of those bull**** degrees where you don't actually learn anything, but the program is reasonably intense.

Nope, there's 16,000 people here but I'll keep an eye out.

I was actually going to go to Waterloo for Computer Science until I found out I'd be miserable in that, and I know what you mean, everybody there is Asian.

Music composition junior at Lamar University.

I love every second of it.
