It's a state school. Check the reqs. for your state schools, I doubt they are any better.

Thats because most state schools, and any school that is competitive athletically, have those standards because of the athletes.

Texas Tech I believe lowered their SAT score to 700.

you guys are making a lot of assumptions

Rucker is actually one of the smallest Army bases.....but they also have a campus near Ft Benning, although it is another small base as far as permanent party troops are concerned.

Ft Rucker has been around a long time, perhaps it was larger in the past

and yes, Ft Benning is fairly close

i just think a lot of people are dissing on these military guys for pursuing their education in some fashion. doing something is better than getting out of the military with no skills and no education and gettting a McJob

Im not knocking it, its the best some people can do, due to circumstances. Its bettering their life, instead of being lazy like the vast majority of people.

I agree, dealing with military duties and getting a degree at the same time shows a ton more responsibility than a student who has everything paid for by mommy and daddy and can only concentrate on studies.

All lower tier state schools are crappy, but its better than nothing, which is what alot of people would have.

True. I'm actually from AL and Troy State didn't even have a very good reputation there. None of the schools in AL are really any good for undergrad. You've got to go out of state.

Yeah, but you are an elitist asshole... Not everyone can afford Vanderbilt or even wants to go there. I was accepted there and I had the money, but I didn't want to be around elitist assholes like you. Actually it was more that Mississippi State offered me a scholarship and is number one in my former major, and Vandy didn't even offer my major. Yeah, I love people who judge someone solely on where they got their degree from. Troy State is no Harvard, but it certainly is not anything like ITT tech. It is a major Division I University with over 18k students and several campuses.

I actually don't like Vanderbilt. Thanks for playing. Again.

I went too far (I should have excluded Auburn, Alabama maybe a few others), but Troy State is not a very well regarded school. Of course it's a matter of personal opinion and that's something that you'll have to live with.

Bottom line is that it's a poorly regarded state school, even in Alabama.

RabidMongoose isn't judging people that come from Troy State - he's only judging the reputation of the school, which is obviously very low. Judging the reputation of the school does not mean you are judging the people. He's also true about Alabama schools, but I would say Auburn and Alabama are decent for state schools.

And nobody cares for your life story.

Personally, I've never heard of it until I read this thread and googled it.

ITT tech huh?? That is pretty low. It seems to be very popular amongst military folks though.

Maybe they go there part-time while working... might be the only university close by.

see my post above, it is close to a large Army base, so maybe that is why people that are stationed close to Troy State go there for an education

Yeah, it's better than nothing then.

Well, a lot of schools don't list the minimum requirements, mine included (UT austin), but I certainly think its a bit higher than 870 combined SAT. Again, I'm not knocking Troy State but certainly we shouldn't lump all state schools together. I mean technically, University of Ann Arbor, UC Berkley are state schools.

Definitely. I wouldn't put Troy State anywhere near UT Austin, UM, or any of the good UCs.

Yeah, I love it how he always has to put up his life story to make a point. Sorry guy, but I don't care where you went to school, who your third grade teacher was, or why you cry at nights.

Again, I didn't judge people from Troy St. I simply said that it is a poorly regarded university. If you consider Troy St. a highly regarded school, then I guess that almost every school in the US must be highly regarded. Again, if someone says Harvard is better than UAB, that doesn't mean that everyone from Harvard is innately better than anyone from UAB. It simply means that Harvard is overall more highly regarded.

UTs min requirements are NOT much higher than 870, I do infact believe they ARE 870-900 for SAT, read my post above, its due to athletics. All schools with competitive athletic programs have fairly low min standards, and yes that does include UT.

I dont think anyone in this thread said Troy St was highly regarded. But calling it the equivalent of ITT isn't accurate either.

Well, as I have no numerical basis to back me up, I'm forced to abandone this arguement. Perhaps you are correct about the athletic program.

True, it's not like ITT either. I'm not saying anyone saying that it's highly regarded - just that, IMO (and apparently the original poster's boss), it's poorly regarded. Millennium or whatever just went off on a tangent telling us his life story and how apparently ranking schools also ranks individuals. He should get his emotions in check before posting.

 

[Cat13]

For those that would like a inside perspective on Troy, here it is. I am in the Air Force, going on 12 years in June. I enlisted in 92 with 1 year of college behind me. From 1992 until 2 years ago, I tried my best to take classes and finish my degree, but being with Special Ops, I was always deployed. Needless to say it was almost impossible to take classes. In the past 2 years, I have enrolled with Troy (they have a local campus here in Fl) and pursued my degree mainly from Distance Learning. This has brought me within 1 semester of graduating.

Troy is not a top college. I know that. But, it is a very good alternative for military or any other person who wants to get their degree and moves around alot. The instructors are fantastic when it comes to working with students around their schedules. The classes are fair, not too hard but not walk overs. For me at least, it was something that I wish I would have known about a long time ago!

 

[tomwolfman]

didn't our president attend troy state

 

[GreenGhost]

They were bold when naming the University after a city people were not sure it ever existed

It's said to be in Turkey now.

Do you and CanOWorms suck each other off in every thread? I took offense to you saying Troy St was a sh!tty school, because it is not. I don't think ANYONE ever compared them to a UC or UT-Austin, but like I said you are an elitist asshole. I didn't give my life story you prick, I gave reasoning on why not everyone HAS to go to a Top Tier school to be ok with themself. Obviously you couldn't sleep at night if you had gone to an Alabama State school, but most people are not that shallow.

Again, I don't care about your life story. This is the second time that you've told me something about your life that has no relevance to the thread. As I've said in many threads before, going to an expensive private school is not worth it for most people if they have to pay a significant amount of money. However, being that you're too busy telling everyone you meet some strange fact about your life, I doubt that you've ever noticed.

You need to get your emotions in check before posting. Your entire post is filled with childish insults which show that you have no argument. You come up with these comments that you want to think that I said, but I didn't.

Now why don't you run along and go out somewhere...I'm sure someone else out there would love to hear how you wet your bed until you were 12 years old.

Everyone is elitist compared to you. You have absolutely the lowest level of standards I've ever seen. If Troy State is not crappy, then what is? There is a scale and something needs to be on the low side. Maybe you've lived on the low side your entire life and that explains your little explosion.

its popular amongst military because Troy State offers classes on military all over the world (usually in the public library)..
as for their academics, i dont know too much about it.. just keep in mind, that for a lot of the military its the only option they have...

Again, I don't care about your life story. This is the second time that you've told me something about your life that has no relevance to the thread. As I've said in many threads before, going to an expensive private school is not worth it for most people if they have to pay a significant amount of money. However, being that you're too busy telling everyone you meet some strange fact about your life, I doubt that you've ever noticed.

You need to get your emotions in check before posting. Your entire post is filled with childish insults which show that you have no argument. You come up with these comments that you want to think that I said, but I didn't.

Now why don't you run along and go out somewhere...I'm sure someone else out there would love to hear how you wet your bed until you were 12 years old.

*yawn* I don't have a problem with your opinion, I have a problem with you saying that is the opinion of ANYONE other than you unless you can back it up. Calling you an elitist asshole is just my opinion of how you both have come off in this thread. When did you go to Troy State's Campus or take an honest look at the place? And care to show how my life story was in either of those posts? If Troy State is getting decent rankings from the major Reports, has accreditation and the like, then I don't think the opinion of some kid really matters. If anyone's post was filled with insults it was BOTH of ours, because you started the insults with me after I said you came off as an elitist asshole. You've yet to post anything that says Troy St. is poorly regarded other than YOUR opinion, whereas I gave you a link that show what respected sources think about the school. I think the only person whining is you about how I am putting words in your mouth and the like, but I'm not exactly worried about something I didn't do.

So put up or shut up. Show that Troy State is at the bottom of the scale, or admit it was a personal opinion grounded solely in bias. You've got to have an excuse for paying 200k for a piece of paper, so I'm ready to hear your litany. As stated by other posters, if you went to a decent University and got your degree, then there is little chance you have to worry about not being able to find a good job. I'd rather not drop 150-200k on 4 years of undergrad and two years of grad just so I can make 2000 dollars more per year than someone who went to a state school.

And I'm wondering why you two follow each other around in every post? I've heard of being friends... but it's like one posts for the other. It's a bit weird and creepy. But I won't respond any further unless you show some proof that Troy St. is the bottom of the barrel. Anything else that comes out of your mouth is just spin and insults. I want facts.
