What colleges have you attended?
I attended Calcutta Medical College for six years .That’s where I did my MBBS ,internship and house staff ship.One of the oldest and most meritorious Medical College of Asia .It was established in 1835 and the buildings whisper the stories of days gone by .It’s there where I made life long friends,met my BFF,my boyfriend(now my husband),realized truths about college politics,real life and almost growing up.
I attended Safdarjang Hospital and VIMS New Delhi for my MS ENT.That’s when I moved to a new city New Delhi,the Capital of Bharat /India .It was bittersweet when I realized I was truly adulting while not knowing how to cook!I learned fast .Got married in the second year of my PG .Lived the dream life and then came back to Kolkata and woke up from the dream.But that’s story for another day .
Jadavpur University Geology enrolled for less than year ,but went for a few months
After class 12 ,I didn’t clear the medical entrance the same year ,but since my results were good my mom told me to enroll in a course of my choice at a college I always wanted to study in .That was JU or Jadavpur University and I was very interested in a subject called Geology which later my sister studied and became a Gold Medalist college topper.The friends I made there helped me take the semester tests when I couldn’t attend all classes because of the medical entrance coaching.I have fond memories of those days and the campus there.
Basanti Devi College enrolled and went for a week.This was before the final list for JU came out.This was a women’s College and I was enrolled in the Chemistry course ,so when I wrote about lessons in Chemistry it reminded me of those days.
Wishing you a very happy and healthy new year 2024 .This is the first post of 2024 and I wouldn’t have gotten down to writing if not for the Ultimate Blog Challenge and the Bloganuary prompt!

I have attended two colleges. 1. The Ethiraj College for Women, where I did my BA in Economics and 2. The Madras University where I did my MA in Communication.
That’s very interesting. Why didn’t you do a masters in Economics?
So many colleges and how sweet that you meet your hubby there also. The only extra schooling I had was school of hard knocks, learning by doing. LOL But when I was 60 years old I took an online course for Insurance. I thought it was going to be just medical since but it was every aspect including IRA’s and a bit on financial planning. I did this to see if I could still retain what I was learning and I did! Got 99 on my final exam.
That’s excellent Martha.Taking an exam like that and acing it is a great feeling indeed.You are an incredible inspiration
I love that you made lifelong friends in college and met your husband there! My college and grad school experiences led to some very important friendships, too, some of which I still have today.
Thats so good to hear Jeanine.College helped me grow up and make the right kind of relationships I feel
Loved your college journeyl I went to Brooklyn Poly (been subsumed by a mega-crook college) where i learned how to be chemical engineer to make thingล work- and then to MIT, where I learned all the theory. I could put that together to get real great results. My other grad school was more of a crossover.
Your college life seems pretty interesting too.Knowing how to get the theory to work is important
Your college experience sounds fulfilling and memorable! I didn’t get the opportunity to attend college in a traditional manner. Although I have attended online universities. I re-entered the academic life later in life, and I’m still trying to complete my bachelor’s. However, an obstacle has put it on hold again. I’m not giving up though.
I am grateful for those opportunities.Don’t give up.I am sure you will do it too.
