I got 2 already thru college (one as a gas/diesel mechanic & one as a medical office administrator) and 2 more to go.... I still resisting the "old" label....at 45! Now I just got to get them the hell out of my house! I will say that the rising costs of some of these schools is just stupid. When I went to school tuition didn't cost you a new pick-up truck!

Just finished packing my daughter’s stuff up for the trip to her freshman year at St. Mary’s University in Winona. Time flys my dudes. Time flys. This is a strange feeling. I graduated from Winona State University and that's a great town. She will enjoy living in that area. What is her major?

It has almost led to fist fights at home as it is. My Sr. talking about how she is voting democrat so she can go to school for free....while the older 2 (who paid their own way) get pissed and threaten to beat her to a pulp.

My Daughter is headed to UW-Riverfalls next week. I had a group of classmates in vet school from there. Good school back then.

She talked about Iowa State, but we will see in 3 years. I forget how many college credits she already has. She took a few clases online her senior year for college credit.

Loved college. Wouldn't trade it for anything. Even the liberal UW. Although when I attended I don't remember politics being involved/discussed at all. Only free shit we cared about was food. This was almost 20 years ago so I left w/ no debt. But the cost was still very reasonable. I'd go back and do it all over again in a heartbeat, but I doubt I'd be going back into the same UW if I went now. Agree with your sentiment on college, terrific experience and allot more than just the formal education. Much of College is what you make of it, if you wanted to screw off there were plenty of guys/gals to have fun with. On the other hand, if you wanted to learn something it was a tremendous opportunity. Freeing in my opinion.

A PA who can actually converse with all the illegals about their health, yup guaranteed work in the new "Merika". Not a bad choice.

I liked college at Bemidji State, but hated vet school. 4 years and a summer there, but got’er done.

It's like you got to drink free for 4 years vs a spendy school. And thank God, cause we did. Had I not, I would have graduated with no student loan. 9/11 popped off just as I started my first year. When the economy took a shit, state revenue flatlined and education spending wanted to roar on at 10% inflation per year. To compensate, WSU created the Winona State Experience Fee which went to nothing in particular. They started it at $250/semester, and got it up to $1000 after four years. The beast will always feed.
