I'm just wondering what percentage of college/uni people are on this site! It's a question that I keep asking as I'm currently in it myself. I know weird.
In a state university for undergrad computer engineering. Not taking classes this summer because I'll be taking military training since I'm under scholarship but I'm on track to graduate on time, either way.
I am in my fourth and final year doing an undergraduate honours anthropology at University of Victoria. I plan on going through to get a Master's degree and possibly higher.
I went to the University at Buffalo for one semester back in the fall. It didn't click with me and I hated it so I dropped out and I'm starting at a technical school in September.
I will be starting my fourth year in August. I'll probably need to take an extra semester, but that won't be the end of the world so I should be alright.
tried a couple of the state colleges but dropped out of one of them (3 all together if you count only going a day or so for the other two). Currently in a Technical College and will graduate in December with a degree in Web Development and Design.
I actually just started up again recently. College has really been an on and off thing for me for a long time. Figured it was about time to just buckle down and finish my bachelors. Studying computer info systems (aka IT shit).

"Uni"? I don't think I've ever seen anything call a university "uni". Is that a British thing?
And in the fall I will be going for my fourth and (hopefully) final year at a university.
It's a european thing.. I think?
It's at the very least a shorthand name us Australians use.
Canadians use that term a lot too. (a Commonwealth thing?)
It sounds like they use it everywhere but America. Unless Americans do use it and I've just never heard it, but I'm going to stick with it being a primarily non-American thing.
Finished my undergrad a few years ago. Currently in my last year of law school, got my articling all lined up (work placement after law school). Things are looking bright!
I'm currently in college. I'm working on a Bachelor's Degree for Graphic Design right now. Someday, I'll have to elevate it to a Master's Degree because that was what I originally planned.
Kinda? I'm going into my third semester in Cegep (which is basically grades 12-13) in Quebec. Currently doing my best at failing calculus II and on the brink of disaster in mechanics in summer school. The pain will end in exactly a week.
Though thinking about it, even if we call it "college" here, it's not quite what America refers to it because we also have university here but it's three years for an undergrad degree, not four.
I just finished my undergrad in architecture at Pratt Institute in May, actually. Might do grad school at some point in the future, but for now, I'm just working.

I've heard, although I'm not sure if it's true and I'm sure you can clarify, that Americans tend to use "college" as a catch all phrase for all post-secondary institutions, whereas here in Canada, and I suspect also throughout parts of Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, we use the word "college" to exclusively refer to community colleges. Perhaps, the slang "uni" comes out of the increased need to use the word "university" conversationally, as opposed to "college".
Yup, finally rekindling my secondary education this fall as an archaeology major, having dropped out of college pursuing a religious studies major a few years ago. Hoping to one day make it to grad school and focus on mortuary archaeology. Of course, the school I'm attending did decide to pull a shit ton of funding to the department right after I enrolled, so that's...fun :|
Damn looks like we an ed joo cated crowd. I graduated in May. Had a full time job programming for over a year though. Hoping to get a better one up in the Bay and move there.
