LOL, Wmcmanus, I was giving a lecture at Duke during one of those NCAA final fours. I was in the student union lounge in front of the big screen. IIRC, Duke was favored to win, but KU scored about the first 20 points--everyone was shocked!

I was a grad student at Wisconsin one year they were nat'l champions in hockey, and a prof at UCLA for two (or was it three?) Rose Bowl wins. Just last year I spent some time at North Carolina, but left just before they won the NCAA Bball championship.

NYU currently has the #1 Philosophy Dept in the country! Not too shabby in Math or Art History either!

I visited Oberlin while teaching at Defiance (they were in the same conference). What a cool little place!

I checked out a lot of the surrounding campuses like Findley College (now University, I believe), Heidelberg College, Ohio Northern University (where they have a small law school), Anderson University, Bluffton University, Thomas More College, Franklin College, and one of my all-time favorite places, Transylvania University in Lexington, KY!!! A good friend of scuba diving pal of mine still teaches there.

Edit: No wait! It may still be Findley College, but Bluffton College became Bluffton University. It's all a matter of what the faculty wants to recommend to the Board of Trustees at these small schools, and whether they think it will pass the "believability" factor by adding a master's program or whatever.

hehe, I think this is the only claim to fame Oberlin College has to big time sports:

Oberlin's football team was the first team coached by legendary coach John Heisman, who led the team to a 7-0 record in 1892.

(BTW he invented the "Wing T" offense there, which is still used in University of Delaware where I went to get my MPA - and Rich Gannon cut his teeth on football.)

Wabash College in Crawfordsville, IN.

I suppose the biggest thing people know about Wabash is that it is all-male and has been since its founding in 1832. It is a small (850), liberal-arts college that has a distinct New England feel in west-central Indiana.

Very pleasant, very collegial, and very collegiate.

I currently attend Ohio State University. I will hopefully graduate in December. I am not sure what I am going to do after that. Hopefully grad school at some point...

Rhodes is such a beautiful campus. I had model UN there one year, in high school. I considered going to college there, but ended up elsewhere.

I currently attend Williams College. The universities and colleges I've studied at, in chronological order, are: Boston University, Williams College, UMass Boston, Salem State College, and Williams College again.

My best friend just graduated from Oberlin just over a year ago. He loved it -- and the fact that it's not a sports school. We have plenty of amazing Div.3 sports here

and almost no musicians. I wish it were the other way around!

I am currently attending NC State University. This will be my 4th year attending college (was at a community college for 2 years) and I still have no idea what I want to do and when or if I will ever graduate.
