is a why UVA essentially a requirement for an app there?

Law-Guy

12:57

I wouldn't say that. If you have a compelling reason why UVA, then that certainly helps, but it's not game over if you don't

Re: earlier discussion about community colleges always feel a need to note that my experience was that starting at a CC would've been more expensive and that out of everyone I know who tried to do the 2year to 4year transfer thing, only one person actually finished their Bachelor's degree

swagadocious

13:02

A CC can be a great option for a lot of people but you have to do your research ahead of time and I'd always recommend people to apply for 4year programs to see what financial aid they get before deciding

swagadocious

13:04

The CC option is often pushed especially hard on low-income students, who are often eligible for good financial aid at 4year schools which they often won't be eligible for as a transfer student -- and CCs can sometimes be less-than-helpful about ensuring your credits will actually transfer properly to your desired 4year program

swagadocious

13:05

That's not even to mention the costs of things like transportation and to a lesser extent housing (if your situation prevents you from staying with family for free etc.)

13:06

Jumping in as someone who also went to a CC, the only reason why I was successful was because my CC had a transfer program with my local 4-year so all of my credits transferred. Typically you’ve gotta be really on-top of which classes will transfer to each university you’re interested in

initiallaw

13:08

Advisors at any school can be hit or miss but that’s especially true when they’re advising you on which classes transfer, I 100% recommend doing your own research instead of listening to advisors

letsseehowitgoesnow

13:09

i would heavily agree to that. My CC advisors made me take classes I didnt need for my major

BruceSutter

13:14

I read Murakami's running book. It was a good read as a runner

BruceSutter

13:15

It's like one third memoir, two thirds running log

baddestbunny

13:15

did he talk about perving on girls in that one? someone told me he did

baddestbunny

13:15

he said that looking at girls was his inspiration for running or something?

BruceSutter

13:15

A little. He thought the college runner girls in boston were cute on his run but that's it
