How many of you college people live dormatories or somthing very similar? Lets discuss that issue right off the bat as that alone can be a major obstacle for the 1-3 years you may spend in them while trying to adhere to good principles of a bodybuilding lifestyle.

[oregonpanthers]

Also lets get some idea of what we college types spend on groceries per week, this is money spent outside of dorm food which I assume is part of a meal plan or similar to that.

I myself drop 35 bucks a week on food since thats about all I can hall back on the bus by myself......yeah no car! Brother has it at his college since his work is a ways off. How nice am I!

If you guys need help on your subjects in college specially physics or calculus this website helped alot although for a free account you can see the odd problems in the book

I RECOMMEND THAT THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE IN COLLEGE TO CHECK THIS OUT!

I've been looking at this thread (duh, it's subscribed) and there haven't been any updates recently.

Anybody talk to admin about this idea or should I e-mail him?

I made a suggestion in the misc:

I see there's plenty of support for this idea. Great! Hopefully an administrator will see the benefits of this.

[oregonpanthers]

The more noise we make to admins about the demand for this thread all by itself the more they will have to consider it. So keeping bugging them, I have been!

Also, nothing against you other people in your 20's but we are looking to construct a thread that deal with the unique lifestyle conditions that you go through while in college. That is the foundation of this thread, college life and bodybuilding and the dynamics of the two.

No bad feelings but I am sure there are other threads here in the forum that cater to your needs.

College: UAH
Age: 26
Year: Graduate
Major: Aerospace Engineering
years of training: Just now getting back in to it, so only about a month right now
goals: Continue to get stronger and bulk up a little bit

I like the idea of the college forum, but I also think there should be a thread for guys in their 20s and early 30s.

[LesterGene]

Anybody going to this http://conference.amsaarc.org/index.php, then see you there!

[jon8105]

So is this going to happen or what? I don't see why they wouldn't add this thread, especially since there is such a large age gap between the teen section they have and the over 35 section.

Come on Guys!!

For those that are talking about the age base aspect. Don't forget there are people in their 40's and older going to college now. Just turned 42, and going back for another degree. Also, I would like suggest some way of noting what degree a person is working on, what year they are in, or what degrees they already have. I think it would be good to know from what perspective the person has to who you are chatting with. Also, a lot of science crosses over, and it would possible give us more insight to our own degrees. Say, Chemistry, Physics, Math (statistics), Biology, Kinesiology, Nursing, M.D., and more can all cross over at some point. Then for those of you who may need some help or advice on a class/subject that form may be a great resource to help you in how to look at a problem, test better for that subject, paper suggestions and what nots. As far as for us older guys, yes we may not be going through what you are, but chances are we have already been through that hump and find much more effective ways to get through it. After all, there is a lot to be said about experience.

I think that we can learn as we get to know one another. But it the meantime, we should have the standard subforums like: Nutrition/supplementation, training, contest prep, misc...

College Bodybuilding Forum with a Sub-board for majors or anything school related?

[oregonpanthers]

I agree with the overarching forum of college students (all ages included) that deals with majors and areas of study so that we can use it as a resource with other members in the same discaplines or those going for the same degrees. Maybe it would even allow some to find what degree they want and where to pursue it at? Kind of a professional to professional network type gig alongside are brother/sisterhood of bodybuilding and fitness. We just need to get some formal approval from the moderators to see this through now???

[oregonpanthers]

PS....Do any of you have colleges or campuses with formaly recognized clubs or orgs that are dedicated for sports like fitness, powerlifting, bodybuilding, weightlifting? We here have the WPBC which is a 5 year old club this year which I am the president of. It stands for weightlifting, powerlifting, bodybuilding club. We are 3 branches united under one heading. We have 30 members now and give students training guideance, state and regional opprotunity to compete for reduced prices, we travel as a group to local meets and events, help eachother with diets and training etc. We even have t shirts and what not for all new members. I wanted to know if other schools have somthing similar?

x2, large gap between age forums, Teen has.... a lot of... 14.. year olds? 135lb, etc, i find very little researched advice and questions a lot of the time. Individuals whom are more experienced would rather a more reliable source, and the next forum closer is 35+.. leaving those of a mature ( or more educated suc has college/university students 18-27ish ) with no specific forum.

Where does one ask their peers about a college/university dietary questions without youngens telling us what there mom feeds them? Just my 2 cents.

Edit* similar thread http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=6209681

exactly. I get on here less because i am getting too old for the teen section and i don't want to have to read posts from a bunch of people in highschool. It would be nice if there was a misc section to go along with it (pretty much exactly the same set up that "teen bodybuilding" has but with a different age bracket)

edit: a junior in college can't exactly relate to a junior in highschool...

I definitely like this idea! IN!
