<p>@ghuskies: i knowww ! actually i only found out last week that vassar was a really good college. i guess because its 20min away, i just thought of it as a local school. i would never go though… WAYY too close. on the topic of cars, i have a car ! my dad bought it so “motivate” me to learn faster . i just think he wants to get out of driving me and my brothers around.
@black: thats actually really cool ! hope you have fun!</p>

<p>EDIT: Marine!!! JOBSS ! with an S ! i cant even get a job . im just hoping for this internship</p>

622

<p>@ada: What kind of car do you have!?
And good luck on your internship!! -too lazy to read the other pages- What are you interning for?</p>

623

<p>a honda accord 02. i may get a mercedes for graduation when my dad is sure that i wont total it . (and i think its a bribe so i can stay within a 4 hr driving distance) ; </p>

<p>im interning at Vassar Hospital … honestly i dont know what i’ll be doing but my moms friend works there so she’ll find something.</p>

624

<p>Ooh awesome grad present :smiley: I have no idea what will happen to my car in college. I’ll only get to drive it if I go to UW but any out of state school… :frowning: sad to think I won’t be able to drive around!
Ada, I have to drive my brother around all the time >__< but my parents both work 40ish minutes away so I have to! </p>

<p>Ooh okay! Some of my friends said their parents offered them cars for graduation if they stay in the city, lol.</p>

<p>And that’s cool! Idk what I’m gonna be doing at Vandy hospital either, haha. I’m sure it’ll be fun though :D</p>

626

<p>both of my parents work an hour away :frowning: so until i learn , im stuck at home. like today !
-____- </p>

<p>but colleges dont let you drive freshman year right ?</p>

627

<p>If I get accepted into Chapman and pass the State’s driving test ( I have no idea how I am going to, American cars are going to alien compared to be British ones). I will most likely buy…</p>

<p>Volkswagen Eos (07 Plate)
MINI Cooper (Anything above the 05 plate)
Smart Roadster
Mitsubishi Eclipse (06+ Plate)</p>

<p>Would love to drive in America as well. BIG ROADS!</p>

628

<p>Some colleges let you drive freshman year. I know USC does but Vandy doesn’t.</p>

<p>For some reason I want a Honda Civic. Don’t judge. :D</p>

629

<p>I almost got a honda civic coupe! 2006+ models. But in the end insurance was a little higher for a 2 door so I got a Toyota corolla S (it’s a little lighter than the standard corolla and it is the sporty version?) idk…haha. But Hondas and toyotas are very reliable! </p>

<p>Haha, that’s such a British car. A lot of “chavs” drive it. It’s pretty good either way, I always wanted a Ford Edge or a Bugatti Veyron. No money for those though. </p>

<p>How bad is Car Insurance over there?</p>

631

<p>Haha my brother just got a Toyota corolla. :stuck_out_tongue:
My cousin drives a 2008 BMW. Maybe if she doesn’t want it anymore by the time I graduate, I’ll have it :D</p>

<p>-has no idea how bad car insurance is- ghuskies, can you elaborate? :O</p>

632

<p>okay question: gwu has you make an account in order to schedule visits, interviews, attend certain events for highschools AND do your application. ive had an account for a few months now and i’ve gone to a few of their events. should i start the application now or wait ?</p>

633

<p>If you want, you can start it now. It never hurts to start early.
I’ve already started a few of my apps :p</p>

634

<p>Yeah, I say go for it. I finished my application for Chapman University not long ago, I am just waiting for Common Application to open it.</p>

635

<p>I heard the Common App terminates accounts after the class of 2011 application period is over.
Is that true?</p>

636

<p>Just want it to be summer already! then senior year should fly by</p>

637

<p>@marine: i think so !
@Pino: AMEN !</p>

638

<p>@PiNOxX: Are you Filipino? Lol but I agree!
My last quarter of junior year starts Monday :frowning: :)</p>

639

<p>Oh you’re on quarter system? We do semester and it’s a pain…two looong stretches. </p>

<p>I don’t know how high my insurance is but it’s higher than both my parents combined I believe. Our insurance gives us a discount because I’m a girl (boys are higher, but the rate goes down with age I think) and I have good grades (you get discounts for that too). I’ve been driving for almost a year (bday in a month) so I’ll get more money sliced off :slight_smile: I’m guessing around $100+ a month for insurance? </p>
