Student Numbers?

by TrapperGus 2021-11-17, 19:39

Do they still create student numbers?

by **Nordic** 2021-11-17, 19:40

Yes. Next question.

by TrapperGus 2021-11-17, 19:42

What are the current numbers at, roughly?

Mine is back in the 60k era

My parents were around the 4k era.

mine had a letter in it too

by **tGreenWay** 2021-11-17, 19:45

First two digits of mine were 09.

Yup. I was A09

by **Floyd Robertson** 2021-11-17, 19:46

I swear mine was 6 digits, prefixed with the last digit of the year I started, like 8xxxxx for 1978. My ID is around here somewhere...

So you’re the one who always makes the rest of us wait while you retrieve your SID, despite knowing it would be needed just by the thread title alone.

It was required in so many forms that I can recite it in my sleep.

Seven, including the 0.

Given a 40k plus enrollment, so about 10 k per year, that puts you about 5 years behind me.

And the letter and last number were added when I was a Sr, I think?

Pretty sure have my student ID card somewhere here but damn if I know where it is.

However, have my transcript. The number is 07-XXXXX. IIRC the card dropped the leading zero and the hyphen and only showed as 6 digits.

I had to check with my sources tGreenway.

Did they have to chisel it into the stone tablet vertically or did it fit horizontally?

Me with the student id card on the left and I don't remember what the other two were, maybe one was the menu for El Az.

6 was not the year that I started.

edit - however Brad Van Pelt and Duffy were ...

Did you know that Brad would go out to the bars and chew glass?

I think the other was that blue book you lost going to the exam.

(They still have blue books?)

As far as I can tell you are way beyond the "modest" women who were at MSU when I was there.

If you’re A11 and I’m A09, I came before you. Heh. Put another way, you’re behind me. Student Numbers? 1494614055

Edit: Nvm. I got you and Gus mixed up. You’re still behind me, though.

That’s about when my brother enrolled. Both he and my sister were in Holden.

Holden is the youngest dorm.

MSU March Band Drum Major disappeared while living there while I was there.

Major lost love was an RA there.

I think they added the A to the beginning and 1 to the end of everyone's when they switched from quarters to semesters in the fall of 92.

Like most of you, I can still rattle mine off without having to think about it. It surprised me that it sprang to mind right away when seeing this thread, despite me not even thinking about the number in 25 years.

Only one blue book final I remember. Econ & Business History 242. Prof had a reputation for being a major dick...he was. Had to do more reading for that class than any 4 other classes combined. Felt fortunate to get out with a 3.0

Biggest mistake MSU ever made.

Engineering much more cut and dry.

Answer the questions correctly with math and all is good.
