No more parental figures bossing me around (only over the phone).. Anywhoo .. Who else is shipping off and leaving their homes? Just think of all the good times (drinking) and the bad times (drinking) you have ahead of you..
    Back to Topic

    If you are already in college like a plurality of you are..then TOo bad this topic is not for you ..j/k you can drop by and mention where you go and what horrible hazing rituals us n00bs have in store..

    COLLEGE :D

    I'm also heading off to college this year. I'll be going to Rowan University as a pre-med/biochemistry major (as Mut said, "just like an Injun", lol). I'm looking forward to it, can't wait to get out on my own.

    COLLEGE :D

    I'll be going to the University of Texas in Austin. Starting the 31st.

    I was there over the summer, so I've already got the feel for it. Being on my own is really cool, but I did start to miss home.

    Major: Liberal Arts, Undeclared <--the most ambiguous and open ended (if not potentially useless) major

    it would be nice if you guys could give some advice to the high school seniors here (like myself) on how to fill out our college apps, personal statement, interviews, etc. well maybe not interviews. that's something we hav to pull out of our asses on our own [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]. but yeah, just thought it would be cool to get some advice from my seniors. right now, i'm looking at a writing major. what type of writing i can't really say yet as i haven't really focused my strengths very much. so, any schools in mind anyone?

    I'm starting college this year and I never applied to any colleges, or any scholorships... I was planning on going to the military until july...

    then I enrolled at the nearby college and had a 75% scholorship... and qualified for pell grant....

    but apparently that really uncommon (not the pell grant) so I wouldn't bank on it. But its happened before.

    I'm in my senior year so I'll be going to the university next year. I'll go to the UPR (Universidad the Puerto Rico) in Rio Piedras. And then I'm planning to get a transfer in my second or third year.

    Just go to the counsellors and they'll give you every single form you need. As for going into writing, there are a lot of different programs (e.g.: journalism, creative writing) in which you'll have to fill out a seperate application form for, accompanied by an interview and a portfolio. But you actually declare your major in second/ third year. Or at least, that's what it's like where I'm from....

    I'm lazy, so all applications I filled where for the common application... hence I only filled one... And I didn't do an interview, seemed like a waste of time for me... But I do recommend doing one if you can...

    Just make sure you make your essays original and well written... I think they like that kind of shit...

    @konoha rek:

    how did you get a 75% scholarship?? O__=... my guess would be it had something to do with your previous idea of joining the military. but anyway, i heard about the pell grant and did a little research on it (more like glazed my eyes along the words), as well as FAFSA. i don't really know how to get a pell grant. what made you qualified to get one?

    Anyone who applies who doesn't make an outtrageous amount of money will be accepted for the Pell grant, the FAFSA is the form to get it. The grant is $2,025 every semester and it's free money. I check the loan box to get an extra 2,500 a semester which I do have to pay back 6 months after I'm out of school.

    Which I've been in FOR FUCKING EVER UGH.

    i just graduated from cal state fullerton last year with a BFA in entertainment art. college was a blast, all of you about to start are going to have a great time. my only suggestian for those about to graduate from high school is to start at a junior college. you'll save a ton of money while getting rid of those bullshit gen. ed. classes they make you take the first 2 years. then transfer to the college of your choice and concentrate on your major classes while you're spending the big bucks.

    COLLEGE :D

    I currently go to University of Texas at San Antonio, this is my second year and it is a blast, I love the CS program here, its pretty easy. I dont drink that much but I guess thats because im 24 and I can just go buy my own beer and shit so there is no need to goto house parties. My only words of caution are this: if you goto alot of parties be carefull otherwise you might end up with a MIP or something which you dont want. If the party gets to wild you may want to leave before the cops come break it up [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
