So out of us college students, who's where? I'm at WashU, and I know two other people who want to do it from here (this year their first time, because they've heard me talk about it so much) and I don't know if they're signed up yet.

Anyone else out there?

Hey!
I'm at Webster Univ. I have two or three friends who might do it. Most of my classes are easy this semester, so I'm not too worried about finding time to write. Can't wait!

Hi there, I'm also at Webster though as a commuter student. I just finished my two night classes so now I only have three day classes - that should make things easier for me to get my writing done (though I do have two research papers assigned already...). Hope we all do well in NaNo and don't screw up our grades!

Wash U student checking in! *waves* And trying to recruit a few more before November 1st... hehehe.

Anyone up for on-campus write-ins some time? I have done some good solid noveling in Whispers in years past.

I'm at Logan College. Its my second year doing nano, and i hit 50k last year despite the crazy grad school schedule. Its definitely possible, you just have to pace yourself. And not get upset when your wordcount flatlines during exams. I have one other classmate doing Nano with me for the first time this year, and his wife too.

Yet another, well, a third, Wash U student checking in here.

I would definitely be up for some on-campus write-ins. I'm a freshman and I'm pretty sure that on campus write-ins would be, practically, the only write-ins I could make it too.

I'm here from STLCC - Meramec! This is my first year taking on the NaNo Challenge, but I've known about it for at least five years now. Unfortunately, I have no friends who are doing this, that I know of. =( Though I may be able to persuade one of them to join.

I think doing an on campus nano write in would be awesome, though it sounds like we're going ot have to choose a campus to congregate at in the first place. Perhaps this can be discussed at the Halloween kick off.

I'm at STLCC Meramec and my mom's at Eden Theological (which is right across the street from Webster). Nice to know there are other college students taking the plunge! :Db

I'm at UMSL. I'm just hoping to do better than the half mark I reached last year :)

Hey WashU people (and those nearby) - I created a facebook group so we can organize stuff, link below as I don't know how to find people's names off their NaNo posts :)

Am I the only Florissant Valley student here? I see a couple of Meramac students, but no one from the other community colleges.

Hey Kerumica,

I'm not a student, but am near UMSL.

Is there any good place around here to do a lunch time write in?

I am an UMSL student. This is my second year doing NaNo, and I remember thinking last year (as a high school senior) that next November would be a breeze because I'd have all this free time as a college student...wrong! My word count was pathetic last year due the whole college application process/massive amount of homework you get senior year, but now this year--between my job and school--my word count's even worse! Ah well, it's still bound to be a crazy/fun month for sure :) Best of luck to all the other college NaNos out there!
