<p>No, my alma mater did not have a big effect on me. College in and of itself had a huge effect. Just going to college made the difference. I came fr. a small town in the middle of nowhere. I ended up going to two state u’s. (transferred after soph. yr). Just going to college opened my eyes to the world. There were more people at my colleges than in the whole county I was from. I think going to the big state u’s. did effect/change me more than if I had gone to a small college but the effect would have been the same no matter which one I had grad. from.</p>
<p>I do have great sentimental feelings for my sch., all the more because S2 now attends as have other family members.</p>
