Post your Alma Mater

In the spirit of Perdido's home-town webpage and the March-Madness college basketball frenzy, post your Alma Mater's webpage. Let's see if there are any TTers out there who went to the same University or College:

I attended the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, officialy graduating in February 2003, although I walked 9 months earlier.

I had an excellent time at UMass, aka ZooMass. It's an excellent school with the resources of a major research university with a classic liberal arts focus. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and wish I were still a student (grad school, here I come... eventually)!

Campus Chapel

The who do you what now? Do you mean University? Obviously you do so I am interested to know where the Alma Mater thing came from. Or is it the same as this DAAAAAAA thing you do?

Alma Mater: The University / college / school you attended.

I woz chucked out of art school.

Ah right. Cheers MrB

So : the choice I have made
May seem strange to you
But who asked you, anyway ?
It's my life to wreck
My own way
You see : to someone, somewhere, oh yeah ...
Alma matters
In mind, body and soul
In part, and in whole
Because to someone, somewhere, oh yeah ...
Alma matters
In mind, body and soul
In part, and in whole
So the life I have made
May seem wrong to you
But, I've never been surer
It's my life to ruin
My own way
You see : to someone, somewhere, oh yeah ...
Alma matters
In mind, body and soul
In part, and in whole
Because to someone, somewhere, oh yeah ...
Alma matters
In mind, body and soul
In part, and in whole
To someone, somewhere, oh yeah ...
Alma matters
In mind, body and soul
Part, and in whole
So to someone, somewhere, oh yeah ...
Alma matters
In mind, body and soul
Part, and in whole
To someone, somewhere, oh yeah ...
Oh yeah ...
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah ...

Alma Mater
On a Hallowed hill in Tennessee
Like Beacon shining bright
The stately walls of old U.T.
Rise glorious to the sight.

So here's to you old Tennessee,
Our Alma Mater true
We pledge in love and harmony
Our loyalty to you.


The Johns Hopkins Ode: Veritas Vos Liberabit

1. Truth guide our university,
And from all error keep her free,
Let wisdom yield her choicest treasure,
And freedom reach her fullest measure;
O, let her watchword ever be:
The truth of God will make you free,
Will make you free!

2. Let knowledge grow from more to more,
And scholars versed in deepest lore
Their souls for light forever burning,
Send forth their fire, unlock their learning;
And let their faithful teaching be:
The truth alone can make us free,
Can make us free!

3. The truth shall crown her sons with fame,
Their lives inspire with nobler aim,
Their names make known thruout her borders,
As learning's guide and wisdom's warders;
Then let their watchword ever be:
The truth for aye shall keep us free,
Shall keep us free!

Phuk U. is where I did my doctorate
Drunken State for my bachelor's
Enseid U. failed out of because I tried to finsh early

Here's mine:
Tennessee Tech University

A small State University in Middle-of-No-Fucking-Where, Tennessee with enrollment just under 10,000 students. Known for it's award winning Engineering and Business Schools.

LOL...just looked up the town's population and it's around 25,000...roughly 40% of the town's total populatio is college students. Oh yeah, and it's in a dry county. Nearest liquor store a 40+ minute drive! What the hell was I thinking to follow the asshole , er, I mean, ex-husband there.

Where I spent most of my time: Johnson Hall (the business school which was actually named for a very very distant relative of my father)

American University of Paris

900 students from over 100 countries (so it's full of gypsy mutts like me).

Alma Mater
Hail, Alma Mater!
We thee do call.
We're here to greet thee,
Dearest friend to all.
We're here to show thee
Our love is strong
Hail, Alma Mater
Marquette! Hear our song.

Well, this is JHU's fight song and it is stupid, but then again all they play and are any good at is Lacrosse. I didn't go there for the sports.

To win, to win,
You'd like like Hell to win.
But you'll have to wait,
'Til the moon turns green,
And the Brass Band plays "God Shave the Dean!"
Hi-lo, Hi-lee,
It's plain as A-B-C,
If anyone's going to win today,
It's we, we, we!

The most beautiful place ever. Univeristy of Colorado, Boulder

Boulder is a great town!

I never got a chance to study at UC Berkeley, but I did grow up on the campus more or less. Later on, I studied law in Regensburg.

University of Calgary

Middlesex University Business School

European School of Business, Reutlingen

Oh yeah, and Fachhochschule München for my MBA. Program exists no longer.

I did a GCSE Psychology course here does that count?

Exeter Uni

Full of Oxbridge rejects, posh people and top totty. None of which applies to me!

@ MoilV - GO BUFFS!!

U.C. Berkeley for undergrad - the little-known Cognitive Science department

and

Purdue University's Krannert School of Management through these guys for my MBA.

Did my first year here before I realised it was all a scam.Art Instsitute of Dallas. Which in all fairness I should say they teach you more in how to sell yourself than in being a better artist.

Then went here for a year( a liberal among conservatives)We dont like folk like you here.

Then did my later work here( where in fact I will do three more courses in the summer).Portland State

Camp Hamp in Pioneer Valley, MASS.

Nice one PES. Killer Haloween parties...

We did study also.

University of Stellenbosch. Centre of the South African wine district. Half an hours drive away from Cape Town and the sea. Surrounded by mountains and vineyards. Some of the most picturesque landscape SA has to offer, best alcohol and student prices and you could walk home after a night out. And the most beautiful women in SA! I obviously didn't go for studying!

LMU of the USA.
My lovely little quiet university where I spent a great four years of my life. Ahhh, the good ole days of college.

Woah Ulysses, that looks so similar to Boulder.. right at the foot of the mountains. Damn I miss that. Took about 10 minutes to reach all kinds of different hiking trails.

Hey Mere, my parents went to Marquette.

Boulder IS a great town. Didn't appreciate it enough me thinks.

Yep. Sounds similar except you have skiing and we have surfing. Hiking, mountain-biking, canoeing, hang-gliding, mountain climbing, it's all there in the western Cape. Heaven on earth. Maybe Boulder is the same. You've just added it to my list of things to do!

The UM (U of Manitoba)- www.umanitoba.ca
Home of the Bisons!

Also attended UW- University of Winnipeg www.uwinnipeg.ca

@perdido- you're going to go back to Porland state? wahoo! that's one of the schools i was looking at for grad school!

Old mother, I think, squire.

this is where i learnt all about flowers 'n' trees 'n' country stuff up in't yorkshire.

Ah, latter-day Herriott? How's your book coming on then?

University of Durham, England's third oldest university, for my first degree:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durham_University

and then the University of Cambridge for my Phd:

http://www.cam.ac.uk/

where I completed a doctorate in neuropsychopharmacology while a member of Corpus Chisti College, Cambridge:

http://www.corpus.cam.ac.uk/

are there any other Corpuscles out there?

Finally I did my post-doc at Edinburgh University looking at HIV dementia:

http://www.ed.ac.uk/

"The University"

I had a friend who did a Phd at UVA. But even she would never claimn it was 'THE' University after her undergraduate degree at Oxford. Americans can't compete with the intellectual superiority and snobbery of us Brits.

Oh, man, I wish I'd never looked at the website for my undergrad Institution of Higher Learning. Was subjected to front-page link to story called Students Seek to Buy Cow for Charity. Very impressive!

I've got a BM from Illinois Wesleyan University ,

and a MM from University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Also did some courses at Colorado State University.

I'm not going to post my list of universities because I can't be arsed, but suffice to say that I'm fucking clever.

You'd be fucking clever NOT to go to Illinois Wesleyan, Jimbo. I mean, it's a good school'n'all, but while I was at their website, I decided to have a look at the tuition these days.

$29,000 a year.

I went to the University of Minnesota. I believe we had one of the most ridiculous mascots of any American univeristy.

Go gophers!

I mean, Jesus Christ. Gophers aren't vicious or frighening or anything. Just dorky.

Wesleyan? I can't even fucking pronounce it. I'm sure it's lovely though. At those prices it wants to be.

The world is so small it is often freaky. We just moved here after living in Bloomington-Normal for 2 years. Did you grow up there?
