I am moving

*Cascadia* · 09-15-2003, 02:47 PM

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* · 09-15-2003, 02:48 PM

Colorado.

*Cascadia* · 09-15-2003, 09:25 PM

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.

*damnhooligan* · 09-16-2003, 01:16 AM

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.

*Cascadia* · 09-17-2003, 03:43 PM

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

*Voltron* · 09-17-2003, 06:24 PM

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

Eternelle · 09-17-2003, 06:36 PM

Colorado! Its sooooo pretty there.

*Cascadia* · 09-17-2003, 07:34 PM

I currently live in the northern part of central Colorado.

I live in PA. Trust me, they're NOT cute.

Billy the Kid · 09-18-2003, 12:55 AM

The Amish? I'm not even going there.

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.

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.

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.
