re: Does anyone regret their college choice?

Going to USL will forever and always be the biggest mistake I ever made in my life. Socially it was like 4 more years of high school. Thankfully I was industrious enough to get out in 4 years and have never gone back.

If have done things different.
I'd have went out of state for school
I wouldn't have meet and eventually married the person I did
I would have tried harder and have a better life right now
But
I'm glad I did go where I did because I wouldn't have 3 wonderful kids even though their mom was a crappy wife
I wouldn't have the people in my life that I do now
I have meet some interesting people and made some interesting friends along the way

I've done ok but wish I would have went to Tulane just for a little different experience

No, I got lucky. I wouldn't get into USC if I applied today.

Yes and no. I loved my time at LSU, but now that I've moved outside Louisiana, I feel like it would have been good for me to leave home for college.
One of those "grass is always greener" things.
This.
Went to Alabama because it was close (originally from Huntsville) and easy (and free) and my siblings were there. Got into LSU on practically a free ride and sometimes regret not going out of my comfort zone. On the other hand, some of the experiences I went through in college (NCs, April 27, etc.) I can't imagine having not been at Alabama for, for better or for worse.
Now I'm dating an LSU fan from BR.. so I guess it all works out in the end, one way or the other.

I consider myself lucky to have attended LSU. On reputation, it was the worst school I applied to, but I wanted to go there regardless of my parents opinions... I walked away with an engineering degree, great friends and memories. Any situation is what you make of it. I found out who I was at LSU.

Regret? No.
But I would be lying if I didn't say that every now and then I think about what it would have been like to spend four years at UGA or UWash

I had some interest from Columbia. Four years of NYC didn't appeal to me, and I was pretty much gung ho on LSU at that point. They even offered to set me up with an interview with a local alumnus. My dad encouraged me to at least check them out, but I didn't. Now I wish I had. For all I know, I could have fallen in love with the place.
In an odd coincidence, my SO, who I met much later, is a Columbia graduate. Go figure.

You just copied my story, baw.
Applied to Alabama, LSU, Tulane and seriously considered all 3. Ended up going to Alabama and now dating a Tulane grad from BR.

Went to College of Charleston.
Great choice, certainly no regrets.

No, but the one thing that bothered me was..
I went to LSU out of state and Im not from the Houston area. It would have been nice to have gone to a school where half the students were not from two metro areas.
And most of the rest from the I-10 area west to Houston.
A state school with a larger National presence would have been cool.

Eh.. Alabama was a lot better when all the students were in-state or from Atlanta. Once people from the NE and California started coming in, the place got worse, not better for in-state students.

Are you kidding me? I'm proud to say that I went to UT when it was cool.

Went to small liberal arts college for undergrad and then to LSU. Both were the right choice at the time. Never regretted either one.

I don't ever wonder about the girls I would have met, but I do wonder about the work I'd be doing now
Posted on 2/19/16 at 3:45 pm to Boo Krewe
I don't regret going to LSU at all. Had the time of my life, had fun, accomplished a lot, and made a lot of life-long friends. Nevertheless, I have thought of how different my life would be going to another college, especially in another state.

Went to Clemson. Loved it. Truly is a college town. The whole town is just students. It seems the only older people I ever saw were professors. All of the students had part time jobs at the grocery, bank, bars, restaurants, etc. It always felt so weird to go back to my hometown and see grown ups when I was in school.

Having grown up in Madison and subsequently going to school in Madison, I always wondered what it might have been like to go to college outside the state where I didn't know so many people. I would estimate that close to 60 of my high school classmates/friends ended up at Wisconsin straight out of HS. There were plenty that didn't start out at Wisconsin, but transferred back. Once in college, I made plenty of friends not from my HS, but of course I have always wondered what it might have been like to go to school out-of-state and not know a soul.
That being said, I do not, one bit, regret my college choice. Wisconsin was all it is billed up to be.
