My Bachelors program was simply a matter of convenience as the school was located in the town I lived in. My masters was based on the program, it being online and cost. My PhD program is based on the program and how that aligned with my career goals.

At the time my husband was a DS at FLW. There was only a few options to pick from... I picked Columbia College. They had both a History and Psychology. I was dual majoring to become a psychohistorian- researching the psychological motivations of historical events. I loved that college... It was small classed. mostly military and veterans.

I didn't even know "psychohistorian" was a word. How did you become interested in that field?

@MSgt Allen Folsom -
In history we learn about the events. As a psychohistorian you learn about the MO behind the events. You dig deeper. Was a man like Caligula driven by power or was he psychopath? Or was in a product of his time? or a victim of abuse?

Not to sound like a creeper. But I have always been intrigued by what makes people be pushed to do things. Both amazing, heroic and horrible, tragic things.

Could you analyze some events for us at RP someday? I'd be interested.

Because it was near my home of record and I didn't know any better. Do-overs, I probably would have gone to Clemson or something for the forrestry program. Really, anywhere but where I did. I didn't learn that the job I wanted needed a VERY specific degree, not just a general biology degree. Oh well, lessons I can (hopefully) pass on to my kids.

It is a regionally accredited state college that is extremely military friendly and was within the MilTA cap per credit.

I went to school just as the Vietnam war was winding down (or was it the Civil War - I forget). My parents said I could apply to any school I wanted but they would only pay for VMI - that limited my range of options severely. So one could say I didn't choose my school.

I've since picked others.....

For me just graduating high school this Friday. I can't think of kids my age that are not going to college. We need a college degree and our parents want us to go and I want to go. If I didn't go to college, I would of chosen active duty and not national guard.

PVT Angelo Velez, you said why you are going to college, but not why you chose your specific college.

I choose my specific college because it was close to home and to the unit i will be assigned to after BCT. Also in-state tuition is cheaper and i like the colleges business program. TSgt Joshua Copeland

I chose my college because of the location and the program's it had to offer. Also, the advisors were great in helping me get all ready to go!

Not really. It was all about the school and its programs offered.
