<p>My dad went to Tyler Community College and my mom went to some little place for like one semester but then had to drop out so she could get a job and help her lazy mom since her sister wasn’t near old enough to work yet and her brother was already done with college and working full-time at an above entry-level job. My mom really could have done great at a large university though had her mom been able to stick with a job for longer than a month.</p>
<p>My mom went to SUNY Binghamton as one of the first and only women in computer engineering and then went on to get part of her MBA. My dad went to Queensborough community college and became a master electrician. My stepdad went to St.Bonaventure and came out as an Econ major.</p>
<p>I’m a parent replying to this thread- I went to a NY CUNY school and commuted for 4 years. I didn’t know about going away to college or dorming and don’t think my mom knew much about college herself to advise me. She also didn’t have a lot of money and my sisters and I were expected to apply to one school and attend locally. That was back in 1980. I got my BA degree in Elementary Education and then did a 2 year masters program in School Psychology at the same college. I’ve been working full time as a School Psychologist since 1987. I think things turned out ok! </p>
<p>Now, my D just started a summer college program and will continue to attend in the Fall as a Freshman. She will be living on campus about 3.5 hours away from home. I’m enjoying hearing about her activities on campus especially since I did not have that type of college experience.</p>
<p>And my #1 is Cornell University!</p>
<p>my dad went to Oxford (pretty hard to beat) and my mom went to University of Delaware- both very smart people!</p>
<p>my #1 right now is Georgetown, but I’m only a rising sophmore</p>
<p>My mother went to a local technical college for a year and a half, but didn’t complete the program, and my dad only got his GED.</p>
<p>My #1 is a tie between Cornell University and MIT!</p>
<p>My mom went to Ferrum College. My dad went to UNC.</p>
<p>My #1 is either UVA or Cornell!</p>
<p>My mom went to Edison CC for an associates in paralegal studies and my dad went to Miami Jacobs CC for an associates in networking and a bachelors in business.</p>
<p>I am conflicted on #1 right now
Carnegie Mellon - If i can get in with enough aid easy #1
OSU - very likely to get in with a lot of transfer credit and not to expensive</p>
<p>My mother went to Rowan University (at the time Glassboro State College) where she got a bachelor’s in Accounting. </p>
