difficult decision question

<p>I absolutely love everything about uconn, but I havent visited it and my family doesn't have the money to go. It's my top choice school, so do you guys think I should attend without visiting first?</p>

<p>I don't love my second choice school or anywhere else as much as uconn. should i go or is it too risky?</p>

<p>Are you unable to visit? Or have you just not visited yet for other reasons?</p>

<p>I’m unable to visit</p>

<p>Well, in the end you should do what you feel is right. If you feel that UConn is the place you want to be, then attend. If not, then don’t. That is something you should just sit down and think about for a little while. Visiting, I believe, makes a difference in deciding where to go. But if for some reason you attend UConn, and end up not liking it, you can always transfer. In the case of deciding where to attend, follow your heart. That’s my advice.</p>

<p>What school are you applying to at UCONN?</p>

<p>nursing…I like that 100% of the students have a job at graduation.</p>

<p>Did you already get in? I have visited several times. Maybe I can help with some of your questions about UCONN, if you want.</p>

<p>It is indeed a difficult decision. Are you out of state?</p>

<p>yes, i am out of state. i go on the website a lot and i know someone who goes there. they’ve been able to answer my questions. i love the school, but im just worried about the size. and the weather. i live in southern california. i think i’d like it there because i do want a change, but there is just a little part of me thats worried since i havent actually visited. i dont know what to do</p>

<p>Have you already been accepted? The nursing school at UCONN is extremely hard to get into because of the limited number of slots available. Many extremely qualified candidates are not accepted. Not to be Debbie Downer but that is pretty well known here in Connecticut. The weather is windy in Storrs and the weather pretty typical of New England. Many people find the size to be advantageous because it brings more to do in a rather rural location.</p>

<p>I live about 15 mins from Storrs. If you don’t like the cold and having two or three months of snowy weather, you probably won’t like it here. Especially coming from southern california. </p>

<p>On the other hand, the area in general is not bad, quite scenic actually. I’m not a student (I’m a parent) so I’ve not lived on campus but I’ve been there many times for various reasons, including an “official” campus tour with my son. I personally liked it . Better than the University of Rhode Island and Johns Hopkins, the two colleges I attended (granted, a long long time ago.)</p>

<p>Of course this is just one person’s opinion so take it for what it’s worth.</p>

<p>I really like UConn, but it is in the middle of nowhere. This is not necessarily a bad thing, just another thing to keep in mind.</p>

<p>i actually love the fact that its in the middle of nowhere. thats something i really want in a school.</p>
