2003, went to two schools, never felt attached to either enough to justify buying a ring. Was a commuter student, that's probably why...

have two rings from high school on a cord around my neck still.

Yes, 99. Still wear it, though not all the time.

Pretty much everyone gets a ring at Texas A&M.

'04, and no. I went to three different colleges, and thought about buying one from my last university (UGA) but never had the money. Heck, I still don't even have a frame for my diploma yet. It's sitting rolled up in the carboard tube they mailed it out in.

Graduating in May and had my ring for about 8 months now and still regularly wear it. Its much better constructed than my HS ring so should last longer! I've stuck with the same major at the same school for all four years. Also, quite a lot of legacy behind the ring at my school, been making them for like 85 years.

Never finished school. I'll go back when my contract is up, but I wont be getting a ring. I can barely stand wearing my wedding ring.

2004 Yes. Unfortunately when you look at the ring sideways the year looks like it spells "poon" (the 4 being the P). There were many of people that asked me why in the world I would have them write Poon on my college ring :|:(

Class of '79. I didn't buy one when I graduated but my mom bought me one later for a Christmas present. I wore it for several years and still have it. I get it out and wear it sometimes for alumni stuff. It's nice to have. The kids at school ask to see the teachers' college rings sometimes when they're picking out their high school rings.

I went to grad and under grat at the same school, didn't buy the ring. Don't bother buying a ring unless you went to a school or program that was top 20 or lower ranked but was really famous for something.

I would buy a ring if I got a PhD though.
