Tictac Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I need your guys advice, I will be graduating in May and need to choose what to put on my diploma. My school, I dont mind telling you creeps where i go, Carroll College, recently changed its name to Carroll University. I was thinking about putting Carroll University on the diploma, but others want me to put college, cause more people will recognize it. I think University sounds more prestigious, what do you guys think? I forgot to how to put a poll, otherwise i would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgoguy Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I would go with University. If it means anything, I'd never heard of it. Anyone interested in hiring you will check your credentials anyway, where your college's former name will come up. Congratulations on your upcoming graduation.

Green DNA Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'd go with university, it sounds fancier. This coming from a guy who went to Baruch College and Marist College. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryK Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Another vote for University. If you apply for a job out of town (where people like me haven't heard of it), that word carries more weight. You'll have many jobs in the future. 10 years from now, the "University" term will be more understood locally. (Although nobody will ask for a copy of your actual diploma). If you want to use University for the above reasons, but are applying for something local NOW, then put "Caroll College" on the resume you send. In youre resume, you can use whatever term you think the employer will prefer to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lil Bit Special Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Need some help Dump the zero and date a hero. And I prefer university over college. However, if you feel more connected to them as "college" then use that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green DNA Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 did not know you were a red fox in sheep's clothing:D It's not exactly the toughest of nicknames, but it could be worse, like the Trojans or C0cks or something.

PFSIKH Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'd go with Carroll College. My school changed it's name my sophomore year and I chose to have the original name on my diploma. University of Lowell as opposed to University of Massachusetts Lowell I agree with Gainzo so obviously he is a genius. IMHO if your degree is in a discipline that Carroll College is a leader in then I would stay with College. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetophile Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Another vote for university. It is the current name of it, and it does have a little more pizang. You can always say 'the college formerly known as' - only don't dress up like Prince on any job interviews to make the point. Drums, cymbal. I'm tired. Good luck, Tictac! Congratulations.
