In 2009, Jon finally was able to escape college of DuPage to make his way to DePaul for seek a degree in Computer Science. It took him a while to get all his ducks in a row, but it is great that he’s moved on from CoD. I suspect CoD (like most community colleges) is a place where the lost and languishing demovated suffer from a crabs-in-a-pot environment.

I know he wanted to go to Northwestern or UIC instead, but a poor highschool career and technicalities kept him out of those colleges. Personally, I think DePaul is a fine school, and I know plenty of brilliant people who graduated from there. Infact might have headed there myself if I had researched my undergrad differently.

DePaul also has a virbant campus, both in the loop and in Lincoln Park, which I think suits Jon as a working adult. He spent his “college years” slacking off at home and CoD, and is already a professional, so the urban and city life is probably more suited than the traditional greek campus.

I think if tries, he’ll come around to it.
