lol, seeing as they just got their first alum in the corps, they dont really have a board. however, right outside the uat, (where the racing game and the picture booth were) they have a stand for the three "educators in space" astronauts. one of those is an adult camp alum.

I've been considering Boston University.

Glad to know there's some one else.

I've been looking at Boston as well. It's a really good school, but EXPENSIVE! Then again, most college tuitions are outrageous.

OMG! OMG! I just got a letter of acceptance from the Naval Academy Summer Seminar!!!!!!! which is harder to get into than the actual academy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and 60% or something like that of the people who go to it get appointments to the academy.

No kidding, lol. One of my mom's former students went to Boston. I hear that if your family makes less than like $300,000 a year you qualify for financial aid, lol, I definitely qualify. Lots of scholarships are always good too!

Only bad thing about Boston for me is it's so far from home. My parents don't really want me going that far away. . . well, my dad doesn't. He wants his little girl close to home, lol. I can't wait to get out of this town though. Yes it's home, and yes my friends are here, but a good share of my close friends are graduating this year and leaving, so I'll be happy to leave. I won't be leaving my friends, they'll already be gone, having left me, lol.

Deja Vu.... Anyway, you'll be home for holidays! Your dad can protect you then.

Seriously, I'm all for leaving the house when you go to college because living in the same place makes it feel like constant routine... Not that its completely bad but i advocate leaving.

My mom is going to force me to live in a dorm, even if I go to a close to home college. "You need that experience!" So I'm getting kicked out no matter what, lol. Then there's my brother who is twenty-two and still living at home.

She doesn't have a problem with that, lol. Parents are strange.

Trust me on this one you'll want to live in the dorm. I live at home currently and i love my house and my family but i really, really wish i was in a dorm. Seriously, you lose out on the college experience sooo much by staying at home. Plus you have to commute to class and that just sucks.

tennisrox014 · Post by **tennisrox014** » Fri Apr 01, 2005 7:59 pm

yeah, my family says i cant stay at home through college, and i live in ND which doesnt exactly allow me awsome educational opportunities.

psych0rabbit · Post by **psych0rabbit** » Fri Apr 01, 2005 11:07 pm

I'm not planning on living at home, nor do I want to. I'm looking forward to a change. It's going to take some getting used to though. I've lived in the same house all my life. Change isn't always bad.

Well, Boston U is really expensive. I got some financial aid from the gov't (2,000)...but I got some grants and scholarships based on academics which total to 18,000 a year which is half tuiton....so thats how its possible for me to go there.

When it comes to education i love the government! I also love old people with money to spare who make scholarship funds. They make college possible!
