Or no...I have one, always thought it was classic, though always wondered if I should have gotten the biggest size possible.

Just curious if anyone else had one and what they had/thought of it. Thanks

I have and wear my grad school ring. I didn't buy an undergrad ring...a keepsake to remind me of all the work it took to earn the right to wear it.

Personally, I find most class rings a bit cheap looking.

I did remember a guy buying a Harvard or Princeton ring even if he never set a foot on the relevant campus...
Pathetic...

No class ring for me. I do, however, have a bottle opening ring

The Brass Rat (MIT) is definitely noticed by other MIT grads, and so comes in handy when you're at any kind of networking event, be at a conference, social mixer, or what not. So in those situations, I say by all means wear it!

no/no

Rings, watches, etc drive me crazy. I find them very uncomfortable.

Same....I incorporated some of my undergrad activities to the design so it covers both undergrad and grad....also I wear it as a pinky ring.
