So when I look back at my college experience thus far, I really remember all the classes I currently despise, or the one's that I've despised in the past. When you're sitting in a class and thinking: Why am I learning this? It doesn't dawn on you until after when you pull something out of your head and then it hits like: "So I did take something out of that class."

So why am I bringing that up? Well last semester, my best friend Dave was cruising a forum on the website www.computerforensicsworld.com. One the forum there was a topic of education, there was person who posted that was asking basically where should they go for that education. The next post was from someone who had previously attended Champlain for a short while and for some reason dropped out. The second poster was bashing Champlain, and essentially telling the first person not to attend Champlain. So Dave and I signed up on the forum so we could put in our two cents and defend the college. We did an amazing job defending an institution that we believe in. Here's the link: forum

I felt like my experience as a student allowed me to approach this person and find a reason that he disliked our college as much as he did. This would be apparent through the exchange. Also: You might noticed that I used the user's last name in my post. That's because Dave and I did a little research on the user and found out where he worked, what position he was in, and his personal contact information, all from plain old internet hunting.

Here's something fun: Try throwing your name into google and see if anything pops up related to you. I know I'm on google in an article for completing an orienteering course, there might be a couple other things, but it's a fun thing to do. It's amazing what you can find.

Cheers!
