Using The Christine O'Donnell Standard, How Many Schools Have You Attended?

[Yavin4]

O'Donnell's LinkedIn bio page lists "University of Oxford" as one of the schools she attended, claiming she studied "Post Modernism in the New Millennium." But it turns out that was just a course conducted by an institution known as the Phoenix Institute, which merely rented space at Oxford.

According to this standard, I've attended:

Georgetown University
American University
Cal
Stanford
USC
UCLA
NYU
Got a cup of coffee on Columbia University's campus once, so onto the resume it goes!
Santa Clara University
George Washington University
University of Maryland

1. Does visiting websites of higher learning count?

[slackmaster]

3. I think watching a school's football team play a game is sufficient

You're "attending" the game.

[charlie and algernon]

4. heh, well then I can add half the colleges in Pennsylvania to my resume

I went to a bunch of games during college.

[Moostache]

28. Why the hell else do you think I watch Ivy League football on TV?

Harvard
Yale
Princeton
Columbia

My resume is looking damn respectable now...THANKS Christine!

[Yavin4]

6. Well, According to the Standard, If You Use The Facilities of a School

then you attended that school, no matter if the school was just renting out its facilities.

[slackmaster]

2. Columbia, Yale, Harvard, Stanford, BYU, KU, AZ State, every college and university in my own city

Wow, that's a lot!

[SargeUNN]

5. oh goodness too many to count

since I have been going to college football games since I can remember. I also took some courses from different schools in the Air Force (although those actually count as legit). Does it also count if I saw a promo during a college football game highlighting the schools being broadcasted. If that counts then goodness we all attended so many colleges to be impressive would be impossible.

[neverforget]

7. All of them.

[tammywammy]

11. That's the Palin answer

[blondeatlast]

9. Colorado State, Montana State, Stanford, Julliard, Grand Canyon University,

Phoenix College, Scottsdale Community College, Gelendale Community College, University of Arizona MEDICAL SCHOOl (beat that, pikers), ASU Sandra Day O'connor college of Law, Arizona State, University of Arizona, and Northern Arizona University.

Oh, gosh, almost forgot I'm a KState Jayhawk!

[Arkansas Granny]

10. Does driving on campus count?

[Bunny]

12. In addition to my alma mater, I've 'attended' several other state-owned universitites in PA,

along with Pitt and Penn State, Temple University, the University of North Carolina, and there are probably a few more that I can't think of right now. I'm considering taking a drive up to Boston this weekend to stroll around Harvard Yard so I can claim that I 'attended' Harvard. Perhaps I should stop at New Haven on the way back and claim Yale, too. And if I'm going to do that, it wouldn't be real hard to swing by New Jersey, 'cause Princeton would look pretty good on my resume.

ETA: Forgot about Rice University. (I went to a bar on campus many years ago. I actually learned something too, as I watched this weirdo jack off while sitting at a table by himself. Maybe I should leave that part off my resume? :shrug:)

[CTyankee]

20. Come to New Haven and I'll take you into Yale's Sterling Library!

I actually did research there when I was at another school in New Haven...wow, maybe I can claim Yale on my resume (which I don't have because I'm retired).

[Bunny]

23. You got a deal!

Actually going into Yale's library would make it even more official. :D

[CTyankee]

25. We can have some great New Haven pizza afterward...or maybe go to

Louis Lunch, where (purportedly) the hamburger was invented...

[Fuzz]

27. Don't ask for ketchup!

[CTyankee]

31. No, no!

[foxfeet]

33. Ooh, I haven't been there since I lived in New Haven in the mid-70s.

And grinders-- I didn't know what the hell a grinder was until I learned that it was the same sandwich I called a sub. Back to the topic at hand, I can include Yale, University of New Haven and Quinnipiac U. (then college) on my resume.

[LeftinOH]

13. I went to Harvard; one time I took the subway there to see the campus. n/t

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

Glenn beck U.

[Bitwit1234]

15. I'll take those and raise you Eton, Oxford in England

[TBF]

17. I write donation checks to my husband's schools as well

as my own - so I'm claiming them all. Along with every football game I've gone to, and also the universities I was accepted at but never matriculated (including my husband's too of course). They accepted us, so on the resumes they go!

[onehandle]

18. Beck U. based on the fact that I have done the occasional idiotic thing. nt

[old mark]

19. In the 1970's, I used to hang out at Sproul Plaza at UC Berkeley...

by her reckoning, I should have at least a Masters, but I have no idea in what...I also once got lost in the Pentagon parking lot, which, with my military experience, should make me a Colonel.
