High school. I remember watching the news while eating breakfast and feeling the shift from "wow it's crazy that a plane hit a building" to "oh shit" as more reports came in.
I lived in rural Nebraska at the time and it all felt very far away. None of my teachers interrupted class with it as I recall (I know quite a few people had that experience).
I was in undergrad in Corvallis. I slept with the radio on in those days so I woke up to the news about the first plane while there was still hope it was an accident.
