OK well I live in West Texas and I am thinking about where to go to college. I have already apllied to one in oregon.. buttttt i wanna go somewhere where people have diffrent accents from me, and where it snows lol!


Got any places????

What types or kinds of colleges are you interested in? Is the price of tuition an issue? What do you think you'll want to study? Or, if you aren't sure what you'll want to study, what interests you and what are you good at?

Snow and different accents give you a pretty broad geographical region to choose within.

Well.... I'm intrested in community colleges at first, so the tuition will be some-what lower...

yeah tuition is kinda an issue... and I want to be a counselor or teacher but who knows!

I'm the first person to go to college in my entire family so yeah this is kinda new to me. I was thinking about New Jersey or New york..

i really don't have nothing here, so I wanna move on and start over.

I can't make up my mind, i'm so confused!!!!

How about up here in the oh-so-fantastic Western NY. We have our own "Rochester" accent and lots (lots lots lots lots) of snow in the winter.

20 miles out of the city is all farm land so you can escape to a little bit of texas-like territory when you get home-sick.

Lots of good schools up here too. SUNY schools are cheap. One of the colleges I was looking at to finish up a degree (Monroe Community College) was $2800 a year for residents or $5600 for non-residents.

Also- less than an hour to Canada.

hhaha new yorkers accents are so hot .. lol

sometimes its hard to understand what yall are sayin though.


yea im thinkin about going to Bronx community college or somethin. I just got to wory about findin an apartment cause I don't think any of the CUNY colleges has dorms.

Oh well, if i don't go to college in NY I will deff.. go for Grad school.

I have a hard time makin up my mind, and I always change my mind.....

University of Idaho is a pretty solid school. It has strong programs for engineering, business, music, and eduction. The sports teams suck, though. But it's in a really pretty area with very low crime, good scenery, and affordable housing.

Boise State University has better sports, and offers degrees in Nursing or Radiologic Technology, as well as the usual. Although it's located in the desert.

Boston. Home of Champions. Students galore. Wicked pahties.

Yeah check out some schools in Massachusetts or possibly northern New England (new hampshire, vermont, maine).

There are some good schools, and they've definitely got the winters you're looking for. There are many schools of different sizes, prices, and level of academics throughout the area, just look around.

Boston is an awesome city, and all of New England is great. Plus, you'll definitely get the snow you want. Try out some skiing :tucool:

Just so you know, colleges are way more expensive in the north. You'll get a lot more education for your dollar in a southern college.

I personally wouldn't recommend going to a community college unless it's going to be convenient. i.e., I wouldn't move to go to a community college. I wouldn't want to go through the hassle of moving twice for college (once for community college, and potentially again for a 4-year).

Pretty much everyone I know who went to community college and then transfered also ended up needing 5 years to finish a 4 year degree. Nothing is wrong with taking 5 years for a bachelor's degree, but these people all took 5 years because the transfer put them behind, not because they too it easy or changed majors.

Hmm. Well, if money is part of your motivation, bear in mind that you'll need at least a year in most states to establish residency to make yourself eligible for in-state tuition.

I don't really have enough information to argue a north versus south money point, but since it seems you have several children, you might want to evaluate the state's child health care policies and programs. :nod:

Frankly, as an adult student, I would suggest take into account your intended career path and what potential colleges and universities can offer you more than their location. Many colleges have entry programs for "returning" or "non-traditional" students offer additional support services for parents. And sometimes additional financial aid, as well. :gl:

Well the community college that I might go to in Oregon. The tuition is the same ( instate and out of state) and there are also dorms.

Idk I just don't want to make a mistake.

and Idk i guess money ain't a problem cause finacial aid pays for most of mine

I just have a hard time picking..

Um and also I don't have any children at all thank goodness. what I meant by "family" is my entire family which is about 200 people.

:o

ah! i saw your avatar and just assumed. idiot.

good luck with your decision!

Are you sure you want snow?? Im from Canada and grew up in the north and I tell you, I would take a beach any day!

Do you have guidance counselors in your school? I know the ones in my high school were kind of crappy, but they should be able to give you at least SOME advice.

Also, as was mentioned, keep in mind that many people stay at home for a semester or a year while attending community college, do well there, and then transfer to a better 4-year school.

I'm sorry, someone mentioned skiing in Bawston and it made me crack up, hahahahaha. Check out Colorado, not too far from home, we get snow, and CU and CSU are relatively cheap and have people from all over the country attending. There is also CC, but it's super competitive and they don't offer scholarships.

I went to grad school in NYC -- and if you want different accents, you will definitely find them there! You can talk to 10 random people and they will all be from different countries and have different accents. Being from a small town, I had a tough time adjusting at first, but after I lived there for awhile, I really got to love living in NYC.

hhaha my avatar is a pic of me and my cousins when I was little. I'm only 19 lol. but yeah I am not in highschool I got my GED..

I didn't get the best education and I really wanna learn a lot in college. I might choose Oregon for now, IDK.. lol

This is so hardd

yeah I really want to move to NYC, but most of the people are mean to Texans. I talked to a few and they told me to go to hell so yeah.

Heh...yeah, well...New Yorkers are kinda mean to everybody...lol. It isn't so much that they are mean per se, they just really have a different style of interaction -- but you'll find alot of great people there.

haha yea hey texans are meant too. I grew up in the projects so yeah. If you walk into a store and tell someone Hi, they will flip you off. People in Oregon are way nice though. I went there last year, and fell in love with it.. but maybe I should try something diffrent, i'm tired of this West Texas heat..

Idk I just don't want to make a mistake.

Well don't stress about it. You're not going to totally torpedo your whole life with one misspent year at college.

Oregon is really nice, for sure.

The people are very friendly anywhere in the Northwest except for a couple of your standard urban hellholes. Some dude in Seattle almost started a fight with my Dad at a donut stand because Dad went to stand in line with Mom and the guy thought he was cutting.
