<p>I could write paragraphs on why Philly is the best city in the world lol! Blacks have a slight majority here in Philly. I think that blacks make up about 49% of the population here. I would just advise you to stay away from certain parts, especially West Philly. It’s REALLY dangerous around there. But if you want to meet blacks of all kind (Rich, poor, ghetto, stuck up, beautiful, ugly), then this is the city for you!</p>
<p>Ya I told my mom if I get in then its a sign from GOD!
I’ve always dreamed of living on campus besides getting away from home I can maybe even get out of my shyness.</p>
<p>And if I go to a CC I’d want to live off campus when transferring.</p>
<p>@violinpiano I’ve been to DC a considerable amount of times, but not enough to know about how it is compared to Philly. I’m a lifelong Philly area resident, so I can give you a unique perspective on Philly and the surrounding area, but not DC. And I’m actually a HS senior lol but I’ll be in college next fall (Most likely living near DC since University of Maryland-College Park is my #1 choice University)!</p>
<p>sorry but when i hear philly i think of the cheese steak…ive never been out of CA but id like to one day.i dont have any family in philly though :</p>
<p>Whoa I’m late to the party. But I’m applying to NC State, UNC Charlotte, and NC A&T. NCSU is my first choice, I want to major in Electrical Engineering. I just hope the admissions office at State can look past my atrocious SAT Scores (1140/1600). Good luck to everyone else! If you want, you can chance me! </p>
<p>wow i thought applications were over but i’m not applying to any privates,i only applied to public schools in my state.</p>
<p>I applied to 9 but i BSed the UC caz id rather go to a CSU but ultimately im going to community college i just wanted to see if i could get in,plus with fee waviers it was free.So far ive heard back from 3 and got in but idk about the UCs.</p>
<p>I finished all my college applications last month. I applied to 4 UC’s, 4 CSU’s, and 2 privates. I applied and was accepted to University of Pacific. So far, I’ve heard from and got into 2 of the CSU’s. My highest and top choice reach school is USC. I hope I get in with a merit scholarship! :-)</p>
