RMXP.org's General Demographic
- Thread starter Venetia
- Start date
16, male, Australian. Obviously, or so you would hope, I have no kids. No siblings either. Almost in my last year of high school but with very good grades and plans to go to university.
I would have actually thought that the demographic here is older than most people would have been led to believe. Just going by the fact that most of the people here that I'm friendly with and talk to (apart from posting) are in their early twenties, and some in their very late teens. Not to mention a lot of people I see posting whose age I am aware of. So being 16 I actually feel quite young. I think a lot of people younger would be more likely to go illegal when it comes to RMXP.
Can someone please explain to me the different between university and college in America. College has a different meaning here in Australia.

A little off topic, but what the hell...
College: an institution of higher learning, usually providing a general or liberal arts education rather than a professional education.
University: College+. They'll do everything a college does and then some, such as technical and professional training. And cost a bit more.
But generally the word college, unless your all haughty, can be substituted for University. Few people I've ever met, when asked where they went to college ever said "I didn't, I went to a University, ho-ho" except one really stuffy guy from Cambridge who just looked down and sneered at everyone.
If you go to a University, people will still use the words college on you, but those who do go to a University are less likely to. If someone of a higher class is likely to inquire about your education, they may ask what University you were schooled in, and unless your againstic you'll just name your college. If your againstic then you'll pull the same line that Cambridge guy did only reverse the facilities.
Oh, and so this isn't completely off topic, I forgot to mention and totally forgot until this question was asked, I had a year and a half at a trade school - as well as a college. My mistake.

I'm Alexa, 18, living in Texas. Born in Poland, but loving Texas because of the copious amounts of yummy Mexican foods! :D I'm in college, music major. I have two siblings: an older brother and a younger sister. And a KITTEN! :3
I'm a whole month late, missed this thread entirely (or forgot to post after voting).
Good idea here, and it's interesting to learn that I was right in my assumption of most ages. = )
Ah yes;
I am 22 years old. I am a chick. I have a sibling that I worry about and helped raise, more like my child than my sister. No actual children to speak of, but the mother-in-law is threatening doom if I don't have one soon (in-laws are fun..). I have no pets, but I want flying squirrels. I recently dropped out of a scam online "University"- I have no plans to return to any form of college anytime soon.
I tend to post during odd moments of half-sleep and may make little to no sense or not remember what I typed five minutes later.
Yar! That informative?

Howdy!
I'm 15 and loving every second of it. I am white, and people say I look like a typical nerd so it must be true. I go to a Performing Arts School in PA in the US of A. This is really a hobby of mine, my real love is theatre but this is a great way of relaxing.
Also, I come from a big religious Italian family. So, yeah, we're our own little mob:thumb:.
