After acceptance into Canisius College and Villanova as well, I opted towards Northland College located in snow buried Ashland Wisconsin (along the southern side of Lake Superior). One semester in and I knew it was not the place for me so I started searching. I made it through that first year and then headed back east. The remainder of my undergraduate education was spent at City College which in those days still had reasonable standards even though it was a part of the City University of New York which in many ways even then had rather easy admission standards. Also, except for textbooks City had another advantage...it was still a freebie in those days; so, my part time employment monies went towards the things I wanted and needed.
