How many colleges have you attended?

One CC, 3universites, about to start my fourth university.

Its been a wild ride.

A DIII, then two CC's, then a DI, soon Grad School at a DII

one, and i graduated too!

I'm presently attending my fourth. Never considered running for school back in those days. First, I wasn't fast enough, and second, I was a wrestler (although not a good one). Now that I'm 40, I'm probably nearly quick enough to be one of the slower guys on a smaller school's roster. Wouldn't that be funny?

(I think I'll stick with marathon training...)

four for me. Two undergrad, two grad. Nothing against the schools, just better opportunities.

TWO -Attica and Alcatraz, no track teams .

Maybe 5 but that depends on how you count.

I went to one for 4.5 years and then took a final course at the state school to graduate.

Then I worked a job full time and stayed half time+ at a JC getting my massage therapy cert, pilot's license, CCNA cert, and running with their XC team. The coach looked the other way on elligibility issues but I never really won anything anyway. I took classes at the JC for 1.5 years.

I stuck with that same job and got my MBA at night.

Now I'm in law school.

My resume only lists the school where I started/got my degree, my MBA, and my law school. So oficially I'm at my third school.

I know that's not what you were asking but oh f-ing well.

I've only studied at 4 different schools I suppose, although I have had technically changed schools 4 times as well:

Freshmen Year:

1 semester at school A

1 week at school B

returned to school A for second semester

Sophomore Year:

Year off, studied abroad at school C

Junior Year:

Starting at school D

One for undergrad.

Two for grad school and didn't get a degree at either one.

Four, although it's a stretch to say I "attended" two of them. I went to one school for undergrad. One school for graduate school. I've taken courses at two others since getting my graduate degree--once just for personal interest and once for particular knowledge needed for my career. These were taken as a "continuing education" student or some such status. I paid tuition and earned credit but was never in a degree program.

Two so far. One for undergrad and one for grad school.

1. Ricks College

2. West Hills College

3. Fresno State

4. Utah Valley University

5. University of Anchorage Alaska

I have 1 BS degree and 165 credits. All undergrad stuff. I probably could have done things smarter. My current job has nothing to do with my degree.

DIII - B.A., school known more for academics; ran 4 years cc and 3 track. This is the school where a Rhodes Scholar candidate deferred his interview to run at DIII nats a few years ago...What school was it?

DI - 1 year undergrad and then studied for M.S., I xc skied one year (not NCAA) for their team and married one of their runners. Hint: Brian Berryhill's school.

Ivy - worked on the staff for 3 years and took some grad courses; might have been able to make their top 7, but I was 10 years older than the students. Easy Hint: Rojo's school of employment.

DII - Ph.D. study. Mike Slack's school; known for hockey and having to change its mascot and logo.

Also, 11 semester hours (all As) at school of Ritz, Culpepper, Goucher, et al.

I use all three degrees (Anthro, Ecology, Bio), but not how I ever expected.

I thought University of North Dakota and North Dakota State were two different schools. How did you go about doing a joint Ph.D program?

Attended four as a degree-seeking student (transferred once during undergrad and two grad degrees), plus numerous foreign schools for study abroad/language study. I kind of hate the question, "So where did you go to school?"

Six.

1. took college classes at a D1 (A) while still in hs.

2. two years at a D1 (B).

3. took summer classes to get ahead while at that D1 at the local CC (1).

4. transfered to a different D1 (C) for two more years.

5. took summer classes to get enough credits for three degrees from a local CC (2).

6. I frequently take classes at the local CC (3) to stay ahead in my field.

Three degrees total. No masters. Continual education is great. I'll probably be taking classes off and on for the rest of my life.

Two - one to obtain a BA degree, another to obtain a graduate degree. Both ranked in the top 10 of US News and World Report schools - as a son of a poor single mom - the school prestige thing mattered to me then.

I agree with the point of continuous education, too. But the BA was the hardest thing I ever did in my life. Learning to compete with the well prepared and educated crowd was more difficult than running. Ironically, grad school was relatively easy and not much work - which was a blessing because there were about 40 moments when I felt like quitting undergrad.
