<p>I think I want to change residence halls for fall/spring. Right now, I am assigned to Landis. My priority number is 51, I think. Most of my classes will be on the west side of campus. Plus, in general I will likely spend more time on the west side because of Leach and the tennis courts. This biggest reason I’d like a reassignment is so I don’t have to get a meal plan. I don’t eat much at all and the dining halls don’t really have food I like. I was thinking about trying to get into Salley. I know it’s not renovated or anything, but I can deal with that, especially for the cheaper price and not having to get a meal plan.</p>
<p>I’m going to visit housing on Monday and at least ask.</p>
<p>Nope, there’s still plenty of time for reassignment! People will still be applying for reassignment up throughout the first month of school I’m guessing. Then things slow down (and people begin to give up and learn to be happy…) until the end of the first semester when the rush for new assignments gets going again.</p>
<p>With a priority number of 51, I should have a good chance of getting the hall I want given that there is space left or someone else gets moved to another hall, right?</p>
<p>Could I request McCollum or Ragans? I am FTIC, but I have enough credit hours right now to be considered a junior (72 now, 78 after summer C). And since I am living in a residence hall for Summer C, wouldn’t I fulfill the “returning residence hall students” requirement for Ragans? idk</p>
<p>I don’t know how popular they are, and, if it’s even possible I can apply for them, if my chances of actually getting reassigned to them are good versus Salley.</p>
<p>You will not get into an apartment style hall as an FTIC no matter how many credits you are bringing in with you. There is a waiting list of real juniors/seniors/grad students trying to get into them.</p>
<p>I didn’t think so. It is like with research opportunities, too. The adviser told me not to even bother asking about research until spring, and then my chances of actually getting to do DIS wouldn’t be good. And at that point, I would academically be a senior. That leaves me practically no time to do any research at all before I graduate, besides doing the honors thesis (but I’m sure there’s a reason I’d be screwed out of that, too).</p>
<p>I feel like I’m being punished for excelling in high school. lol</p>
<p>Do you really plan on graduating in a year? AP credits usually satisfy your liberal arts requirements, you still have to take your major courses.</p>
<p>I came in with a ton of credits, and I’m doing a double major and a minor while studying abroad for a year. Don’t be in a hurry to get out of undergrad… after this it’s off to law school for me!</p>
<p>No, I plan to graduate in two years. Spring 2011. I would double major, but there’s nothing else I am interested in, so I figured I’d try to do as much as I can within my major.</p>
<p>As I have posted on the boards before, coming in with lots of credit, esp an AA as a recent high school grad reduces your flexibility in the State University System (SUS.) If you have 78 credits as a FTIC, you are so far ahead of the game that sometime you end up behind. It is a double edged sword.</p>
<p>Jman must have an AA, since he can only transfer in 45 total credit hours from AP, CLEP, IB. In that case, I can see graduating in 2 years (depending on what he wanted to pursue). I, for one, would not be ready to enter law school at 20 years old though.</p>
<p>With bright futures and a (possible) university scholarship, I can’t imagine why you would want to skip 2 years of undergrad.</p>
<p>I would advise you to keep an open mind and take some courses that you might not initially be interested in. Maybe you will find something that does interest you and it will broaden your knowledge as well. It can’t hurt!</p>
<p>Yes, I got my AA at the same time I graduated high school. I have 100% bright futures and the university scholarship. I really really don’t want to spend four years in undergrad, especially since I might be spending 2-5 years in graduate school (master’s and maybe a PhD). I have worked so hard and so long already, I’m just ready for it to be over. lol</p>
<p>I have considered taking a semester off, but I already have a housing contract for fall and spring, so I couldn’t do anything until after then. But maybe I will take next summer off.</p>
<p>I have done so much research on what occupation would be right for me. I even went to the career center here and took a test. It all points to the same things -> clinical psychology or counseling psychology.</p>
<p>Sounds like you have everything planned out. best of luck to you.
Salley isn’t bad, they just renovated the exterior… although Landis really is the nicest dorm. If you cared about having a nice room, I would have suggested DeGraff since that’s over in that area and they don’t require a meal membership. </p>
<p>I lived in Gilchrist and the 100 block was still too much food for me… not to mention how much of a ripoff it was. I rode my skateboard to classes and to the gym so that didn’t really matter to me (there are some awesome hills at FSU). Even if you had to walk to the entire opposite side of campus, it’s only like a 10 minute walk.</p>
<p>Maybe Wildwood would be a better choice. lol the most important thing is that I don’t want a meal plan.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t mind taking a year off. I just don’t know when I’d do it. Maybe after getting my bachelor’s and before grad school.</p>
<p>And maybe I could tack on a Spanish major. I’ve always been good at Spanish, and I hear that it really opens up opportunities, especially with counseling.</p>
<p>I know I’ll have to get a Ph.D. or Psy.D. if I want to make a career (and make a living) out of psychology.</p>
<p>Wildwood is nice too, I wouldn’t have minded living there.
I would suggest doing a study abroad for a year in a spanish speaking country (perhaps your sophomore year). A year will get you completely fluent in spanish, and you can have some fun with new experiences. I think entering a PhD program at 20 is too early, and you would also have to take the GRE really early as well. That way, you can graduate in 3 years and still have a jump start on your postgrad.</p>
