I am moving

[Cascadia]

well I got accepted to University of Oregon for a degree in geology. But I am holding out for Oregon State University. Or I am going to Colorado State University, Long Island, or Pennsylvania.

[That Matt Guy]

Colorado.

[Cascadia]

it is hard to decide where to go....please submit your votes.

CSU's a good school. I went there in 2000 for my BA in Anthroplogy, minored in Geology oddly enough. I fancied Fort Collins a bit, but unfortunately their Liberal Arts college lacked severely. Very solid Geology department though, arguably one of the best in the country.

If you're a resident of Colorado, (which it seems you are), it may be your best option. Out of state tuition is, for lack of a better phrase, a bitch.

Take time to weigh your options.

I just now became a resident of Colorado. I have been living here for 6 years. I have a bachalor's degree from University of Colorado-Boulder in environmental science and biology with a minor in geology. CSU would not be a hard move for me. Out-of-state tuition.....do not get started on that. I paid out-of-state tuition for 6 years.

Hell, sometimes in-state tuition is a pain in the ass. I was at Colorado College for a solid year, and believe me, that drained my pocketbook faster than previously expected.

I thought one only had to live in the state for a year prior to claiming residency? Though, I've always been caught up in the military, so I naturally gain residency upon receipt of a new assignment.

Hey everyone......I have been accepted to CSU. So, I have a choice now.

Pennsylvania has Amish! How could you refuse the Amish? They're so cute...awwwwwwww.

[Eternelle]

Colorado! Its sooooo pretty there.

[Cascadia]

I currently live in the northern part of central Colorado.

Pennsylvania has Amish! How could you refuse the Amish? They're so cute...awwwwwwww.I live in PA. Trust me, they're NOT cute.

[Billy the Kid]

The Amish? I'm not even going there. :P

Anyways, I vote for Colorado State. Moving a long way is a pain in the butt and CSU is a very good school. Just my 2 cents. Good luck.

Hrm.. not to familar with above choices, so I'm going by instinct here. Instinct number one thinks Oregon rocks! A state with a wide range of climates and people. And it looks like great place to study 'rocks'.

So then I look at the front page websites of both uni's in Oregon. The one you're accepted too looks cool. Nice and green, which should be appealing to your Turtley side. :P Whereas OSU looks like a nice big state college (while UofO looks to be a smaller more private one). State colleges tend to be cheaper, and they also offer more. So I voted for this.

But, since I haven't spent any time to research their areas in geology, I dunno which is the better. I think you should lean towards the one that has the most outstanding geology program that best fits your interests. :wink:

[Cascadia]

Thank you HorseTechie for your input. At OSU, my dad's graduate advisor from Ohio University is there. He does not teach but he can be a good resource. I have been told that Eugene, Oregon is similar to what I am at now. Corvallis is a smaller university than Univ. of Oregon. They are both good universities for the sciences.

I did get accepted to CSU, which will be an easy move but changes my school clothes is a different story. :P
