The School/Uni Thread

[cookiecutter]

Everyone is different, but I would recommend considering places other than your home town. Really opens up a new world.

The urban/suburban/rural preference is a key factor. I grew up in the suburbs and my college is in a rural area. Depends on whatever environment you feel most comfortable in, or in my case, which you would like to escape to given where you now live.

 

[supseudonymous]

I need to start looking for collages soon. Not sure where to start.

Community college.

 

[The Ozzman]

Community college.

More like a Phonics book

or do like what I did...be cocky and only apply to one college

 

[cookiecutter]

You're at UC Davis right?

Might want to start by spelling college correctly.

Where I started was cities I visited and enjoyed, as well as places I had heard good things about. Do any of your friends have older siblings who went to college? Where did your parents go?

Also take stock of your academics and consider where you are likely to get in.

My Dad is from France and my mom went to the University Of Illinois.

I would not mind the east coast with Boston and New York.

I would not mind getting away from the local area. I wanted to try NYU but that seems to Ivy League. I may have good grades, but not that good.

I do have good grades and honors. My grammar online is bad though.

You don't have to tell me the answers, I'm just saying those are good places to start.

Ha, way off.

five or six hours off... no biggie

So .. going to university in a little more than a month to study Scandinavian languages. How metal is that, huh?
But that's obviously not the motivation.

I have yet to decide wether I'll focus on Swedish or Norwegian though? Which is more badass? Vote!

(Danish is horrible so I'm not considering that at all. )

 

[Vimana]

Isn't Swedish mutually intelligible with Norwegian?

 

[Uthark]

For a big part, yes. The study is set up so that you can understand all of the Scandinavian languages but you'll only learn to speak one of them.

 

[Vimana]

I never had an interest in the Scandinavian languages (or mythologies). But whatever floats your boat.

 

[Einherjar86]

I might be going to Finland in the winter. Only time to go.

 

[Vimana]

Another reason why I could never live in Scandinavia. I really hate winter. I want to go to college in the Caribbean.

Another reason why I could never live in Scandinavia. I really hate winter. I want to go to college in the Caribbean and end up dropping out because I will end up spending more time drinking than studying

I actually hated pretty much every alcoholic drink I tasted.
