What made you pick your shitty, obscure school?

Spin-off of where you go to school. I can't tell yet because I go to a shitty community college. The only good schools I saw in the other thread were state schools on the main campus.

I went to a community college then transfered to a state college.
Why? Because I fucked up in high school, plain and simple.
But seriously, it's all about what you want to get out of your education. You don't have to go to a 1st tier school to learn and kick ass. If you can show people that you know what the fuck you're doing, it's all good.
At least that's the lies I tell to myself...HAHA.

They aren't lies. First tier schools are silly.

It wasn't shitty, but I went to a very "average" state school. I went because it was cheap. Also, since I was going into the biological sciences, it didn't really matter where I did my undergraduate work at.

I chose my state school because it was cheap and it had the program that i wanted. Youd be surprised at how many universities there are that dont offer engineering.
I knew that i had to go to a public state school for cheaper, instate tuition, and for engineering my choices were basically UofI or SIU. UofI is ridiculous. Upper tier schools like that, for undergraduate work, are worse. Theyre too competitive and large. Youll never even see your professor.

I grew up in Chicago, but go to school 90 miles north at UW.
I get In-State Tuition, the school is great, the city is awesome, and the place is full of smoking hot blonde girls from California and Rich dark-haired New York Jews, a well as gorgeous blonde Scandinavian types from Minnesota and tall, skinny, freckled-skin Iowa farmgirls.
Best School In The World.

Business or marketing majors are the most absurd majors to indulge in.

It's a good major for people who want to be managers at drug or department stores. If you major in business, you have to go to graduate school, and a good one.

I think business major has a poor reputation just because of the type of people who get into it. Many people have not cultivated an interest, and expect a degree to give them success without having to fight for it. These people major in business for the hopes of an easy buck and get disappointed.
If you are motivated and have a passion about starting a business, a business degree can give you the edge you need to run a successful small business or get yourself in a cubical for a big business.
On the original topic: I choose my community college because it was close and had low cost. Now I choose my university because its close, has my undergrad degree available, and has low cost of living near by. If I can get into grad school, a major factor in choosing will be weather and snow
