belltriggerApparently, I value things like "Independance, Variety, Prestige, Challenge, and Easy Commute" o.o interesting....
Yeah, I'm looking through my college's Career Service sort of thingy. Gotta get a job after I graduate (at the end of this semester). I've given up completely on finding another college. Things are just too damn expensive right now. Maybe after I get some money, I'll reenter college, but nowadays, I can't leave the state for college, because out-of-state prices are, like, four times the in-state price (one of the worse ones I've seen in my search today is in Massachusetts, where the in-state tuition is 910 dollars, while the out-of-state tuition is over 7,000 >.<; ). But staying in college in New Jersey's worse. They, of all states, had to have colleges where the in-state and out-of-state prices are exactly the same: hella expensive.
But. Before I make any REALLY hasty decisions, it's probably best if I talk to my counselor beforehand. See what she thinks about certain options and whatnot. AND, I'd probably have to have a LOOOONG talk with my parents. After all, they're the ones that allowed me to apply to various places, get accepted, even take me to campus visits so I could meet professors and other faculty, only to say that I couldn't go due to expences.
Le sigh >.<; Why the hell is college NOT FREE!? Don't they WANT people to learn? Don't they WANT to have a future with better educated people? Don't the WANT to stop being laughed at by other countries who have grade school students smarter than OUR college students? >.<;
Hm. If I go to Kean University, the tuition's rather cheap (though there are, of course, other costs), I could be a Philosophy major o.O; Or maybe a Sociology major... Of course, a lot of people (probably my mom...) will say that's sabotaging myself 9.9;
Oh, I yearn for the days when you could just be a scholar for the rest of your life... People'd look up to you, and respect you, and you'd get to keep learning. Maybe it's just because I've been in a school environment since I was about six months old, but I really prefer to be in a school setting. Not to say that I want to interact with people all that much. I just like... I dunno... learning for the sake of it.
Feh. Well, it doesn't matter. Watch all my frail hopes shatter ^^; Cause, you know, college has been a real let down. Will I really be doomed to only have a two-year, community college fed higher education? Oh, I hope not, but it's really seeming that way ._.;

Date: 2004-01-30 08:16 am (UTC)ne..well...my parents wouldnt let me go to visit schools at all and said right off the bat that they werent letting me go anywhere but ccm... *sigh*
also..rutgers is $16,000 in state and about $23,000 out of state. (with dorms)--- but honestly, i would not reccomend going there. the faculty just doesnt care, to get anything done you have to have parents that are ready and willing to scream at them, and as a transfer student, you're lowest on the totem pole, you have to register way after even the incoming freshman. dorms are great and all, but actually getting an education is also pretty damn good.
Sorry i have been out of touch....ive worked the past 5 days in a row, and will have to work afternoon-night until sunday!!!! *dies* gee and i was worried that i wouldnt get many hours. What days are you free? we have to set up a time to do anime...what about friday, im free after 2:30 or so...i think,,,,but i have to work from 5-8 tonight. bah.but if you're free fridays. maybe we can do stuff then...*shrug* hope things are going to get better on the college front.

Date: 2004-01-30 11:10 pm (UTC)And as for Rutgers... well, that thought never crossed my mind XD; I don't know why. Dorms are a pull, but unfortunately, they're part of big expenses, ya know? Ugh. Colleges should still be free! :P Lol
It's no problem ^_^ Lesse... I'm free on Friday from about 3:00 (counting the time it takes to get home. Though if we pre-plan, I could possibly have my mom drop me off at your house or something on the way home from the college. I'm also free on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays :D Though I'm at the college ALL day on Tuesdays and Thursdays so they're right out ^_^;; So, yeah. We have to figure out what's what!
