I know there have gotta be other jumpers out there who go to colleges and universities around the United States and the world. Looking to create some sort of list or even possibly get something together down the line...

I myself go to school in NYC, but would just like to see who else is out there, doesnt have to be NY area.

I am a sophomore at a Florida University.

i jumped during college. i'm graduated now. also i like to hang out with college girls. do i still qualify for this club?

I got 2 college degrees and teach at
a community college... I am in?

UVU senior,
started jumping as a freshmen at Denver, however.

Finishing my last semester at Georgia State

graduating this dec from OSU

University at Albany (NY) somewhere in my Sophomore year.

I am very happy I DIDN'T jump in college. I started skydiving my frosh year, and got away with it for the next few years. BASE was a little scarier for me back then, well still is scary. A few people I did know who did went above their skill level and got hurt. This was because I believe they were young and easily persuaded by other BASE jumpers without much judgment in regards to their "friend"/"student". But that doesnt speak to any of you who are in school, just what I noticed when I was in school. I feel old now. Need to make myself feel better. Hi Hookitt!

I'm doing running start program. I'm a senior in high school and sophmore at Cent. college.

I started BASE jumping during in my second semester abroad at Fresno State and I'm currently enrolled in Nuertingen, Germany.
I guess I qualify for that list

Graduate at Virgina Tech and some nice university back in Germany ;-)

I am a Sophomore at Mercer University in Macon, GA

i've been going to school on an off for over 14 years. i don't have a single degree yet...so i'm sure i'll be a student for years to come. i feel keeping myself on a strict drug and alcohol regiment helps keep my mind limber!

I started skydiving & BASE jumping my freshman year of college. The funny thing is ... before I was a jumper, they put me in the tallest building on campus, on the top floor (residence)!

we got some nice dorms here in Co also
never did live the dorm life, luckaly, but dated an R.A. for a while.
there is breaking into a roof, steeling/making keys for a roof, and then having a hot college sophomore administrator let you up there whenever you want. life was good for awhile.

I skydived and BASEd in college.....and went BIG when I graduated. The college wouldn't let our skydiving club hold a demo jump onto some astro-turf play area in the middle of campus, so I bandit skydived into it. That's the only time I had to RUN away after a skydive. I also skydived (mostly legal) into my college graduation, dropped my gear, then walked a few hundred yards to the coliseum that held 10,000+ people.

Oh, we also ordered a pizza and it was delivered to us at graduation ceremonies in front of those 10,000 people ("Fast Times at Ridgemont High" style).

studying at technical university in graz (austria)

Haha. I have been going to school on an off for 10 years. No degrees yet either. But I am currently enrolled :)

senior at Virginia Military Institute...started BASE my sophomore year

I started skydiving in college and base jumping in medical school. Delivered quite a few babies about 10 hours before leaving for go fast games.

I have not picked up my diploma yet, so in my mind, technically I'm still in college. University of Virginia 200?

I slept with a couple chicks in college once! I am fucking winning!!!

haha...

(the emoticons for this and the dz site still suck!!!) That was really hard to read! And it wasn't because I need reading glasses either. How hammered were you when you typed that?

Junior in Vermont

Senior @ University of Akron, started BASE freshman year.

Kinda on a different note, the best, and i mean BEST way to impress a college girl, is to ask her to help you pack, and just have her be the packing weight. works every time.

somehow it didn't work when i said, "hey, your fat enough. sit here, will ya?"

you gotta say it right, and something like
"hey, I need a 50kg weight to pack this, you look perfect, will you help me?
"how much is 50 kilograms?"
"about 110lbs"
[her eyes widen, nothing but net]

adjustments can be made to this according to how drunk you are when you pack and if you on the Boulder CU campus or, say, Nebraska, where the weight you say you need to pack is about 70 or 80 kg.

wow i like it... never thought of using that one

Freshman at NCSU
