Where was your Alma Mater?
For me it was RPI, in Troy, NY. Graduated in 76' with a BSEE courtesy of the GI bill.

Cambridge, England. Best my folks could afford outside the US. (At the time, they paid zero tuition and about $1000/year towards my living expenses.)

My Alma mattered little to me or to anyone else.

Started on a MS in Information Systems, Information Resource Management intending to work for one of the defense contractors (they pay very well) following retirement, but then my mother died, 6 months later DW's mother died, and I realized everything was paid for, looked at the numbers on retirement, and said "I'm outa here!"

U.S. Naval Academy '82, Naval Postgraduate School '89.
The two schools were as far apart as you can get on the Navy's bell curve. The thesis experience also quenched my thirst for higher education.

I knew a lot of submariners from RPI. We toured there in 2007. Nice school. Our daughter was horrified to learn that the loss of a dorm's heating system was considered an emergency. I was surprised to realize how small that town really is.
