I am highly jealous of everyone who has graduated from ITT...at least until I join that group myself 
My background:
24, born & raised in Baton Rouge to almost all of my family supporting LSU...except for my grandfather (mom's side). He was from Alabama, and although not a huge football fan, supported the Tide (his cousin actually wrote the fight song, Yea' Alabama). Seeing as how we were close and I hated being told I HAD to cheer for LSU, I decided to become a Bama fan early on in life. Went to school @ Southeastern Louisiana Univ. (only decent thing about this state besides the food is the TOPS scholarship) actually made it through in 4 years, Dec. 2010.
Fast forward to Summer 2012; working in the family business in Baton Rouge, hating life here. Not utilizing my major (criminal justice) b/c A)Police had a hiring freeze in the state for a long time after graduation and B)I decided I really don't enjoy the idea of going to law school as much as I once did. I decide to go back to school and major in something I really do love (Exercise Physiology) and was set on going to Bama, even with the expensive out of state tuition. On my way to Dallas for the Bama/Michigan game a few weeks ago, I decided to make a detour in College Station to check out A&M...
Turns out, that might've been the best decision I ever made. Went out as a complete stranger on a Thursday night in Northgate, meet a ton of nice people and I loved the area. Toured the campus on Friday and got the scoop on the Corps of Cadets (which I am considering joining despite the flack they catch on the internet) and I fell in love with the place. It was exactly what I was looking for in a campus and city, and seriously, Aggies really are the nicest people I've encountered in the SEC so far. I now plan on enrolling there next spring or fall and becoming part of the Aggie family (though I'm not sure how my support for Alabama will be accepted around there
)
