My dad graduated from Pace in NYC and he liked it but that was a while ago.
I was going to go to Northeastern but I didn't feel like sticking around for those winters, so I moved here. It was 80 today It's also about $35,000 cheaper every year to go to school here as opposed to basically any school up north. UConn is a good school but it's in the middle of nowhere and I used to lived right by there so it was kind of boring to me.

As far as the school academically, it is pretty good but I've heard that they're getting much stricter and letting in fewer students because they are way overcrowded in dorms and classes compared to before their basketball teams got big. It's also a pretty big party school as far as everyone sits around and has keggers in the woods because there is nothing to do and nowhere to go. That didn't really appeal to me, that's why I moved here so I could go to the beach, the mall, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, there is an endless list of things to do here so I don't ever drink or do drugs simply because I'm bored, lol. edit: Oh and Farmington is a very nice town. It's a nice mix of suburbs but still pretty and it's kind of upscale.

Thanks for the tips guys. I got the acceptance package today from hofstra (they 1st informed me via email). I have till May 1 to decide whether or not to accept. So im going to wait till i hear back from everyone which should be by early april.
Edit: AS for my bimmer, well its a hard hard hard decision. But i think ill have to leave her behind. It will cost me alot to drive x country (plus miles). And if i ship her, its $900 each way. Its great and all just one time, but i have to come back for winter break, summer..etc. Im better off buying a used car out there for around $3500. Its SOOOO shitty downgrading but hey, its only for a little while. Plus i take framed pics of her and say "literally, this is my other car"

hmm...east coast....burrrrr
I was in Boston for 4 years. I know you have plenty of advice that may be thrown at ya...but if you ever want to discuss colleges/grad schools..let me know. I did not have much help from my family/parents either, so I know it can be rather difficult. Like you, I had to figure it things out myself. Good luck...let me know if I can help.

I asked her bout housing.. She told me that they will take into consideration my age/gender/credits..etc. So they wont be putting me into a dorm with 18 yr old girls. Basically she said that i will be placed into an apartment with older students, or they can help me look for off campus housing since on campus is limited. But i should be able to get on campus. Whew, atleast i can stay in an apartment and not a "dorm"..
The tuition will prob be alot, but $4500 off is pretty nice. Once i move there, cant i apply for resident next year? Out-of-State Tuition: $20,066 When i applied for fasfa, i hadnt applied to monmouth yet. So how can i add monmouth to my list of schools for fasfa?

20k? That is steep. UCSD, which is pretty expensive relative to other CA universities, only run about 15k a year for an instate student. And it's a UC.
Why don't you ask them if you're gauranteed another year of housing. Otherwise, you'd be living on campus your 1st year at Monmouth and then you'll have to move out to another apartment off-campus the next year. Unless you are going home for the entire summer, it might be a better idea to just abandon your apartment and not pay rent for the 3 months you won't be in Jersey. The bitch about this abandonment scenario is that you would have to store all of your furniture and stuff (if any) in some sort of self-storage unless you can manage to bring everything home. EDIT: Call/mail FAFSA.

Join in, buddy. You're on the east coast and really close to Jersey. You can probably even visit Bella (unless Scottz is overly territorial/dominating like a lion).
Oh, hey, I was in Philadelphia yesterday but unfortunately I didn't get to try a Philly cheesesteak. Damn myself. EDIT: Philly only appears to be like 50 miles away from Hazleton, too!

Ha ha, I was just trying to add some comic relief
Yeah, Philly is awesome. Last time I went to Atlantic City (never again ) we took the schuykill expressway right through downtwon philly. I love it! Philly cheesesteak!!! Don't get me started! Now I'm hungry! My best friend from high school lives there now, but he's at Temple in the pharmacy program. I think this is his fourth year. In two years he'll be a doctor of pharmacy! He won't be comming back here, though I'm afraid |

No out of state tuition? Then damn that is an expensive tuition!
Yeah, sharp - I am surprised you're discontent with where you're living now even though you have all these great cities nearby!

The closest "somewhat big" cities are Scranton and Allentown. Now they are awesome little towns...not too big, not too small...just right! It's too bad they are even like 40 minutes away. I just can't win. Seriously Squawks, I'm in the middle of nowhere here! |
