My mom doesn't want me to go to College very far from home either. Her reasoning is that Georgia Tech is one of the top Aerospace engineering schools in the country, and it's in state tuition. The problem with going to Tech is I HATE GEORGIA!!!!!!

I'm leaving for New Orleans tomorrow to look at Tulane

I'm excited!!!

That sounds familiar. I went through the same thing with my family only the school they were pushing for was Purdue. I won though....

I've had a lot of possibilities and even though I know my parents want me close to home, they promised to support me where ever I decide to go. I wasn't sure how true they meant that until I gave one option that I figured my mom would shoot down right away. Though there was dead silence in the car when I said it, and she's trying to convince me that it's not right for me, she said that if that's where I want to go, she'll support me. Quite the surprise it was for me to hear that.

Way to persevere! My mom told me she doesnt care where i go as long as i get a good education. I figure i'll be in school for at least another 10 years minimum so i can try out a few schools.

Just my 2 cents, but go to GATech. You can't beat a "free" GATech education! It's a good school, with a good reputation. The people seemed pretty friendly, also when I visited Tech a few years ago. In hindsight, I probably should have gone there...and I wouldn't have gotten the waiver!

And if it's really that bad once you get there, you could probably transfer out later....

Ok well just don't come to my school. the professors are good and the education you get is good but the only thing the school cares about these days is getting bigger and trying to take over the city of Newport News atleast thats what ity seems like as much as their growing. Sadly the students sometimes get the short end opf the stick in all this. But then i doubt any of you have heard of Christopher Newport University anyway. If we could just get a new president who cares more about the students then he does about building new buildings as far as the eye can see we would be alright.

I've heard of CNU

. Then again, I live in Hampton Roads so....I'll bet you're the only one here who's heard of Old Dominion University (except possibly some old basketball fans).

So stargazer0105...does this mean you officially picked UAH? I haven't been up on the posts lately

Congrats to everyone who survived picking a college. Enjoy the rest of senior year!

Yes, I am officially going to UAH. I named them as my 1st choice school with the National Merit Scholarship Corporation last week.

I survived picking a college once lol and now i'm gonna have to do it all over again.

I understand that Georgia Tech is a great school, but I have lived in Atlanta all my life and I really don't like the city. I don't know; I'm still applying there, but I don't know if I'll be able to stand it there for four years.

Why does college hunting have to be so complicated?

That question ranks up there with "What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything?"

Actually, that question was already answered. The answer is 42.

It's a proven fact! April 29th!

Indeed, I'm looking forward to it.

I AM SO EXCITED!

But really every time i see the preview it makes me want to see it more!

Hehe, I sat here and waited for the trailer to download on my computer. Took a while, my internet decided to be slow that day. Now I just need to find someone to go see it with me.

Space Nerd · Post by **Space Nerd** » Thu Apr 14, 2005 2:33 am

Psh, I'm going to see it by myself. I dont even care nobody else will appreciate it as much as I will anyway!

psych0rabbit · Post by **psych0rabbit** » Thu Apr 14, 2005 6:42 am

Lol, sounds good. I'll go with me, myself, and I.
