Where Are You Going Next Year? (Collegiate 2016)
As Jacob O'Rourke's thread in the high school section reminds me, it's that time of year again where people start to hear back from transfer applications, grad school apps, job offers, landlords, etc. and make plans to go places. Here is a thread in which current college players or members of the college quizbowl community can post where they'll be next. Please post only if you have something definite to share, though that includes things besides "I am going to x and such school for [Degree]"; more general notes on moving to a new metropolitan area as a non-student/non-player/employee interested in continuing to staff or do outreach, etc.
I guess I'll start by saying that I decided not to go back to school next year, which maybe dispels some rumors that were floating about.

I will be pursuing a one-year Master of Science at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I'd like to play quizbowl during that time.

I will be relocating to New York City this summer where I will continue my long-standing policy of being old and showing up at open tournaments. I may occasionally be available to moderate things in NYC and immediate environs.

Re: Where Are You Going Next Year? (Collegiate 2016)
I will begin my retirement. How long I remain retired is anyone's guess, however I know very few people who are willing to bet on the "forever" option so there's that. I probably qualify as an old person now. I will probably still play every chance I get, staff things, and continue to find my way onto good teams at side events. I hope to help edit the occasional college tournament as time permits.

I'm going to Minnesota for a two-year MS in Statistics. I'd love to continue staffing, especially (but maybe not exclusively?) at collegiate tournaments. The only situation in which I can see myself playing is if there's a spot on a DI NAQT team that would otherwise go unfilled--I'm done with learning stuff specifically for quizbowl.

For what extremely little it's worth, I'll be at Central Connecticut State for another semester in the Fall, meaning I'll play stuff held at Yale if I can and hopefully staff some tournaments if I ever get a weekend off from work.

Glad to see that you want to play there!

As for me, I'm graduating from Michigan and I'm almost positive (I know this isn't definite I'm sorry) that I'll be attending Wayne State University in Detroit for a Masters before applying for medical school. Planning to continue staffing things for sure. Only way this would change is the small chance I end up doing my Masters at Boston University but I won't know for a while.

Re: Where Are You Going Next Year? (Collegiate 2016)
I'm not going anywhere, but I will be starting to scale back my involvement in quizbowl in 2016-17, including the near-certainty that I will be at neither college national (though I hope to be back staffing at least one in future years).

I'm in a very similar position, since I'm starting my teaching career. I'm planning to stay a presence in the community to some extent, but I suspect my major tournament editing and directing days are over (I'm hoping to remain a day-of logistics person for things like NSC and ACF Nats, pending my school schedule cooperating, but I'm no longer able to take on long-term projects). I will stay an NAQT subject editor in the topics relevant to my work and a friendly neighborhood board moderator as far into the foreseeable future as those groups will have me, though, and I'll staff Richmond-area events whenever I don't have a competing school obligation.Cody wrote:I'm not going anywhere, but I will be starting to scale back my involvement in quizbowl in 2016-17, including the near-certainty that I will be at neither college national (though I hope to be back staffing at least one in future years).

We're going to be in Boston for a year, starting in a couple weeks. I might be able to help staff some events in the area, or I might extend my "don't show up to anything" streak.
After that, perhaps we'll finally live in a city not named for a classic rock band.

Conversations at HSNCT and NSC alerted me that a Facebook status, changing my signature here, and word of mouth haven't been enough to spread the news. Sorry about that.
This fall I'll be returning to the University of Michigan to start an MS in Information (MSI) through their School of Information. It's a two-year program. I'll continue playing and staffing tournaments. More importantly, I'll coach up the A team on a certain pop culture topic that doomed them in this year's ICT final.

I'm leaving Minnesota after this semester for curricular reasons. I'll be going to DePaul University in Chicago January 2017-June 2018 for my MS in Predictive Analytics, which is a more applied/computational program. I'm pretty heartbroken to leave UMN/Minneapolis-area quizbowl(ers) and want to remain active staffing (and possibly crashing practices?) around Chicago, although I reserve the right to go to an easy tournament at UMN before I graduate.Me, when I dreamed a dream in time gone by wrote:I'm going to Minnesota for a two-year MS in Statistics. I'd love to continue staffing, especially (but maybe not exclusively?) at collegiate tournaments. The only situation in which I can see myself playing is if there's a spot on a DI NAQT team that would otherwise go unfilled--I'm done with learning stuff specifically for quizbowl.

Re: Where Are You Going Next Year? (Collegiate 2016)

Sad day, indeed! But I'm glad you'll be in a better program for you.Aaron's Rod wrote:I'm leaving Minnesota after this semester for curricular reasons.

I'd love to continue staffing, especially (but maybe not exclusively?) at collegiate tournaments. The only situation in which I can see myself playing is if there's a spot on a DI NAQT team that would otherwise go unfilled--I'm done with learning stuff specifically for quizbowl.
