Well CCM1995 I'm a little more partial to Purdue ;) spent 4 years in their CM program. I've alway heard the 3 schools you pentioned for CM, but have never heard anything or knew that Florida offered a program.

I have definetly enjoyed it so far, but the pre-Building Science classes haven't been hard at all up until Structures. Physics on the other hand, has been absolutely no fun. I'm looking forward to getting into the program, everyone I know that is or has been in it has loved it. The new building is incredible, it's worth your time to check it out next time you are in town. I know it's LEED certified, I want to say silver but don't hold me to that. I definetly would like to talk to you at some point, like you said earlier I should have done civil engineering but that much math and science would kill me. By the way, definetly no A-zone pass yet, so the transit from the fraternity house will have to do for now.

War Eagle! Auburn--Marketing. My father and Grandfather are both CE grads from Auburn. Being in Atlanta, most of the respected GC's have several AU BSC graduates. My close friend and best client is a grad of the AU program and loved every bit of it. I went with him to the BSC banquet/scholarship dinner last year.

I was a mechanical engineering major for two years but i soon realized i would be spending a life time in an office so **** THAT!!! I'm workin on a Construction Management degree now. I love it. The course work really covers all areas of construction so i learned/am learning alot. It gets into a fair amount of engineering also such as calculating concrete mixes, formwork loads, sizing mechanicals, etc. I work in the field and thats where i want to stay for at least a few years so i look at my degree as something that will allow me to move up in the company after my knee and back finally give out haha.
