I finally made that major move in life, together with got accepted to a College!

So, on July 21st I will be officially majoring in Game Design at Collins College.

As most people would be when they're accepted to a College/University, I am very very excited.

So, to make this a topic: tell about your college/university experiences, majors, minors, acceptance day, etc.


Edit: I guess I should point out that Collins College is an accredited game design/arts/film school. It is located in downtown Tempe/Phoenix, Arizona.

together with, uh, I am moving from Maryland to Arizona, which is huge!

hey, congratulations!

i am so close to dropping out I hate it here

the only reason I stay is because it's better than living with parents

that's my college story

Congratulations. Drink wine and make games!

Yeah I only just got accepted into uni recently (Fine art for life!). Congratulations dude, I hope you have a certain area to specialise in there (because developers see general games design courses as a curse).

Thanks everyone!

And, yes Kaworu, I plan to specialise in programming mostly.

Congrats bro.  I thought my college move would be pretty significant (from PA to Indiana) but it looks like you've trumped me completely.  Regardless though, glad to hear it.   I don't really have any college stories to tell because I'm not entering until this fall.

i think with an art/english major it doesn't matter too much how acclaimed the university you got it from is

Yeah with english you end up jobless, but with an art degree you can get into working in a library if you're lucky. Both of which are two of the worst courses for getting a related job in (but you like drawing, so I'd hopefully assume the art course would be more geared to your interest than some foolish hope of getting a related job).

YEAH I GOT ACCEPTED TO COLLEGE
YEAH YEAH.. YEAH
ON YOUR FACE!!!![/size]

basically in this thread



edit:
I am in my third uni year, feeling like I'm the biggies of the uni, the ones who have the SHIT and me look at the rest downwards.
Uni is cool, there are plenty of assholes to burnchat and small groups to form. You go to the library and pretend you're into something, you end up mad tired and dont do a shit at all.

God you dont know how much I hated the Happy Thoughts forum, jesus christ

Hey NinjaPirate, go to the cheaper school unless you have mad $$$$$.

Going to critically-acclaimed $50k/year university has been the stupidest decision of my life, seeing as how graduate degrees (assuming you go on to this level) are the only things that end up mattering. Go to cheaper, easier school, get better grades, have more pocket change for booze, be happy and ALL IS GOOD

I seriously doubt it was as much as I hated it.

what the shit? 50k fucking dollars the year?
I'm in what could be the most expensive uni of my country and it is like 27k pesos the year.
Although I dont pay a shit because of 75% scholarship + pseudopay by working saturdays.
I'm happy though, I know that just because of the uni's name I will get job (in what I dunno but I dont care aye?).
ASE I think "critically-acclaimed uni" really sells in your CV
That and average mark
