<p>I see tons of threads on what colleges everyone wants to go to, but I thought this would be different. Just say what college your parents went to, and then say if you're going there as well. If you're not in college yet, then say the number 1 college you want to go to!!!!</p>
<p>my parents never even went to elementary school.</p>
<p>My #1 college is UCLA!</p>
<p>^UCLA is so amazing!!! Do you plan on majoring in literature? Just a guess since that’s your username!!</p>
<p>Mom went to Mount Ida, dad didn’t go anywhere.</p>
<p>And I want to go to Simmons!</p>
<p>Mine didn’t go. None of my brothers did either (I have 3 older brothers. 1 dropped out, 1 got his GED, and the other got his diploma via night school.) </p>
<p>I don’t have a #1. I don’t want to fall in love with a school just to be rejected</p>

<p>I do plan to have a minor in literature or have a double major with literature as one of them.</p>
<p>Dad went to Dennison, Mom went to Boston University and UC Davis. My family did pretty well in the college department I suppose. Lol</p>
<p>I am probably going to Penn State</p>
<p>^That’s cool!!! What do you want to major in?</p>
<p>Dad: Never finished HS. However he had a slight talent for white collar crimes (don’t get me started on traveler’s check scam haha) , and managed to forge himself into a couple of anthropology courses at a community college. He didn’t like it and left after 2-3 months. Through the way had gotten in, I’m pretty sure he knew he wouldnt be able to get a degree from it anyway.</p>
<p>Mom: Graduated High school 2 years early (in India.) Went to Cal State Fullerton for 2 years but dropped out when she met my dad at age 18.</p>
<p>edit: I don’t really have a number one per-say. But Stanford is particularly drawing to me (ivy league type edcation in my home state.)</p>
<p>They didn’t go to any. And I have no #1, just a bunch of #2s that i’m waiting to visit to see which will be #1 lol</p>
<p>Mom went to Manhattan college for her Associate’s and is continuing at NYIT for a BA this fall and my Dad went to NYIT for undergrad and St Francis College for his Masters. He’s getting his Phd in his home country currently.</p>
<p>I’m going to Pratt Institute in the fall and it’s kind of funny because my dad had considered that school for his Masters (so close to having legacy at that school).</p>
<p>Dad went to medical school in India. Then moved to the states and did residency at Oregon Health Sciences University and his fellowship at Vanderbilt. </p>
<p>I wanna go to Saint Louis University :)</p>
<p>It’s funny: I though there’d be more “Parent’s went to harvard and donate $500 bajillion dollars a year” people here haha.</p>
<p>Um my dad didnt go to college, and my mom went to some small college in Connecticut (maybe university of New Haven?) but dropped out when she got some really awesome job offers. Without degrees my mom (plus shes two minorities: black and a female) makes 100+ grand a year and my dad makes something like 40 grand (hes a machinist… he couldve been more, but i dont think he’s really the ambitious type.)</p>
<p>My grandfather (on my mothers side) went to Ohio State (Or maybe Ohio University… not sure) and then Yale (full rides to both), and alot of my family on my mom side went to schools like Yale, Harvard, etc. and have doctorates.</p>
<p>I dont know where I want to go… but I’m looking at Princeton, Yale, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, Dartmouth etc. Depends on what I want to study in… Carnegie Mellon and Princeton are looking pretty good if I decide to do something in technology and engineering.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Which is really nice! Before this thread I felt like the only person I knew who had a parent who had an associate’s degree and another parent that didn’t have a degree.</p>
<p>My Dad only graduated from high school and my Mom went to community college and got an associate’s degree. My number one school is either Drexel or Penn State.</p>
<p>My dad went to Cal State Hayward and my mom took some classes at Cal State Fullerton but never got a degree. As for #1 schools, I have a ton but I have to limit myself due to money. Right now my #1 choice would be Miami University with a scholarship.</p>
<p>My dad went Imperial College London but then did his MBA and PhD from Indiana Bloomington.</p>
<p>My mom went to Toronto.</p>
<p>My mom went to Mt.Holyoke and then Chicago University Booth School of Business.</p>
<p>Don’t know anything bout my dad.</p>
<p>Not sure where I want to go, it’s too early!</p>
<p>My dad did some college classes in England (which are like community college classes) but never completed a degree or anything. My mother finished high school. My sister and I are first generation. I go to Wake and my sister will graduate from UNCC in May. :))</p>
