Hunter College - New York Schools I'm interested in that are offering to waive my application fee Drexel University - Philly Hofstra University - New York As you can see I really want to be in New York I think I wanna either major in economics or communications. What do you all think of these schools and do you have any school you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyna ♔ Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Rutgers and Hunter sound pretty decent. I'd also say try out this one: http://www.adelphi.edu/ I've been looking at schools in the same area, just different majors lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanka Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Can you afford those schools out of state? You should look into UIUC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illi Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Can you afford those schools out of state? You should look into UIUC. For economics, hell no!!!!! Economics is terrible there. They are so caught up in their research to try to teach half effectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Enjoi Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 St. John's University is a really good school, it's just very expensive. You should consider something in-state first. Only attend out of state unless you really feel financially comfortable and you can handle the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dungeon Dragon Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I want to leave the mid-west so bad though. I friggin hate it here Aw I did that. I was dying to get out of my city so I moved to London but it was only because I went to a good university, so if you move far, make it worth it.

I know that happened with sooo many people. And also a lot of my family lives in the NY/NJ area. I just wanna get tf out of Illinois. I was looking into Drexel and I really like their co-op program. I'm gonna look more into Hofstra but I'm already hearing bad things about their financial aid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best thing for you to do is to take some college classes before you actually attend college. I'm glad Virginia allowed that. I graduated HS with 32 college credits!

hotboy06 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I guess I better get started! Yes ma'am..I started in the 11th grade. It was this program called the Governor's School for Global Economics and Technology that was held at our community College. It was for gifted and talented students who wanted to excel. You had to test for it. I didn't make it the first time. So they sent a letter to me after someone declined it and asked if I was interested. I talked it over with my mom and she said if I wanted to do it, then go ahead. Girl, it was the best thing ever. My 11th grade year was a bitch though because I was super overloaded with shit..Geometry and Pre-Cal, College Chemistry, College History, and College Comp.. I don't even know how I survived! But my 12th grade year was a breeze. I had all college classes(except English) ,advanced Biology, Physics, and Political Science..Girl, I was making straight A's. I didn't bring any homework home because I did it at the college and study hall. Shyt, I was loving it. When I graduated, I was number 13 out of 156 students. I graduated with honors and got a gold seal stamp and a signature from our governor at the time, Douglas Wilder(who was the first African American elected governor of Virginia).

Escapade Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 You're so smart I have no idea how you managed with all those courses through senior year cause I'm struggling now! Honors Physics is the worst and my AP European History teacher expects us all to be Socrates or something. My Honors Spanish 2 and College Algebra Trig teachers give out homework like there's no tomorrow. I'm always like when I'm in school but I just suck it all up and do my work. Hopefully they let me take college courses during this school year and the community college. I know for a fact they offer it over the summer though.

Hopefully they let me take college courses during this school year and the community college. I know for a fact they offer it over the summer though. That's why I loved the school I went to. Although it was country as hell, academics was one of the best things about it. I swear, my Mom was amazed at how I managed 12th grade year. It was a breeze because I had free time at college and a study hall at school to complete all my work. And plus at the college, the students helped each other out alot( ). Chile, I can't tell you anything about Physics now, but at the time, it was pretty much like Calculus(which is nothing but Algebra)..and plus our teacher was from Russia and we could hardly understand anything he said..so I think he compensated us with good grades.. We were dreading going to his class every other day.. All I can say is just work hard and you can relax a lil bit down the road. And all my college credits transferred too!

Reyna ♔ Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I'm pretty much looking in two entirely different states. New York and Texas for my first round out the gate. My first two years. After that, I'll be going overseas to France or Germany unless my career takes off while I'm in the states. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
