I went to school at the University of Rhode Island and pursued a degree in journalism, which is a little bit ironic.
If it weren’t for my horse, I wouldn’t have spent that year in college.
Back in college, I remember shooting stupid videos with my friends. It would be us going around town in capes pretending we were superheroes.
For me, the desire exists less to get myself a degree than to just go and have the whole college experience, and throw myself into the brain pool and see if I can swim.
I think I really benefited from going to college.
I got a scholarship to Seattle University and I was writing arrangements for singers and everybody. But the music course was too dry and I really wanted to get away from home.
I'm going to Columbia University but I'm trying to keep that low-profile because I don't want weird people following me there. I want the experience of normal college life.
When I first came to college, it was a time that I was trying to figure out, 'Who am I? What makes me special?' and I started to find most of my value in the fact that I was thin.
I realized that once I graduated from college, there might be a period of time where people might typecast me or be more limiting, and I might not be able to play a crazy character. For me, it was important to do that at least in school.
The fact is I gave everything I had to Kansas State when I was there.
Today in America vast concourses of youth are flocking to our colleges, eager for something, just what they do not know.
Let's face it. My dad was a mechanic, and my mom was a cop: my college options in seventh grade didn't look that great. And the chance I got to go to college and experience college life is something that's pretty precious to me.
At 17, I went to Stanford University to study engineering. My time was occupied with the required reading and the extracurricular duties of managing the baseball and football teams and earning my way.
My experience at DePauw was about as beneficial as any experience I've had.
I was totally sober in college and really, really focused. I just took the time when other people might be partying and just made music and played at the party instead.
I was very interested in politics in college and was heading to be a lawyer. I have a degree in economics and I was interested in it. I hadn't really gotten super serious about it and I'd done a lot of student politics in high school. I really think it would be interesting and fun and challenging to go into politics.
I grew up in Lincolnshire, trying to get the daughters of farmers and policemen to like me. It didn't go well until I got to college where, suddenly, there were different sorts of humans.
I went to Brooklyn College and met this beautiful Jewish girl named Merle, with dark hair, exotic looking and brilliant. So we got married and had three children.
I didn't even drink in college.
I would say my fraternity was nothing but a bunch of farm boys; we weren't really in the whole fraternity scene, but yeah, that's a safe assessment of who I am. I've lived that life, growing up in agriculture and then going off to college and joining a fraternity, livin' that life.
I read 'On The Road' in college. I was 18 or 19, and I had a particular quarter where I was taking biology, calculus, and physics. Those were my three classes. It wasn't a well-rounded schedule at all. It was hard, hard work, all the time - hours and hours and hours of homework.
Looking back, we had the hard time, but the privilege, of actually coming up playing biker bars and little bitty college bars.
If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.
I didn't just work at a hardware store. I went to college for a second, and I worked there on breaks or during the summer.
Junior colleges are high schools with ashtrays.
