<p>Actually, I’m from the Portland metro area, but its only a 2 hour drive from campus, so I won’t go too far away from home. I’m required to live on campus for the first year (all freshmen at Oregon State are). In retrospect, it did stink to miss out, but I really don’t feel that i missed out on that much. I think that I will be happy at Oregon State, and will receive the same quality (or better) education that I would have received at UCF if I had made the cutoff.</p>
