Wow, maybe he/she wanted to stay local. Who knows lol

I think that's why, but really? It's not like it's that far away. It's in Atlanta, which is maybe 9 hours away by car.

It just doesn't make sense. She's really smart (she had a 4.0 UW) and could do so much better.

Federico14

Yeah, I think the drive is worth the difference in schools. Maybe she will do two years and then transfer

Passing up a great college in Atlanta for a CC? Interesting...

stressedouttt

maybe she wanted to stay close to some people?

9 Hours is not close.....

Anyway, while everyone in my NY town is dying of heat without power I'm living it up in Puerto Rico for the week Only reason I'm on here is b/c it's late & everyone is outside where i refuse to be because of bugs.

@fredrico. Why not right!? I'm applying to a lot though. Have no Ivy's on my list; my grades aren't good enough for that. In the CUNY/SUNY system it's looking like City, Oneonta, and queens. The other SUNY's are too far out in nowhere, except new paltz; but i live 30 minutes from there so idk how I feel about housing

It's actually gonna be really nice here the next few days. Low 80's/High 70's with not too much humidity. And I only lost power for a couple hours.

Jazzii

my power has been ok, but that storm in Feb (or march idk) The realllly bad one that dumped like 3 feet of storm, knocked my power out for 6 day -_______- and then the electric company never fixed it right so it went out 14 times in the next 2 months, they finally fixed it though and it's been decent ever since

It's close when the closest school I'm applying to is 12 hours away. The next closest are 20-24 hours away.

Jazzii

that's crazy. lol I would never.

yankeesfanatic

Yeah all of my schools are within a 6-7ish hour car ride and most of them are only 2-3ish hours.

CSIHSIS

Well DC is like five hours away, so.

I'm applying to the only good school that's close [like an hour away], and then everything else is far.

Jazzii

My furthest school is 3 hours lol. But then I guess if I lived in a place that didn't have as much as ny I'd probably look elsewhere. I guess for me personally I couldn't see being that far. Even like 4 hours in either direction puts me at cow town, Boston, long island or Utica or PA None of which I am interested in.

CSIHSIS

Meh, New York.
