<p>I live in Connecticut and really really really don’t want to stay in Connecticut. My dad is making me apply to the local school where him and the rest of the family graduated from-and where more than half of my class will attend fall of 2013. UCONN is a stretch because it’s in the middle of nowhere even though it’s basically its own town. Quinnipiac is whatever.</p>
<p>I plan on going to college in Manhattan.</p>
<p>I plan on staying in California for college. Preferably a UC (maybe even Stanford), but a CSU would be fine too.</p>
<p>I could live in France…</p>
<p>I wouldn’t mind staying in my state, but it’d be nice to experience something new. Nowhere too far though! c:</p>

<p>No offense dude, but nobody who lives in New England (except maybe northern Maine) has a full grasp on what “the middle of nowhere” is.</p>
<p>^ What are you talking about… There are “middle of nowheres” in every state. Especially places like VT, NH, northern CT, everything in MA that isn’t close to Springfield/Boston, and practically all of Maine.</p>
<p>Especially Vermont? If you’re at the Northernmost point in Vermont, you’re only an hour and a half away from Montpelier. At the Southernmost point, it’s an hour and fifteen minutes to Springfield, MA. And it’s very much the same in New Hampshire. (research done using Google Maps, I don’t just know everything about everywhere)</p>
<p>From personal experience spending a lot of time in MA, The placement of Springfield, Boston, and Worcester pretty much guarantees that you aren’t more than 90 minutes from a major population center. And your definition of what ‘nowhere’ is differs from mine as well. A town with ‘only’ 5000 people in it is not the ‘middle of nowhere.’ There are towns down here in the south with less than a 1000 people that are 2 1/2 hours+ away from any city on a map. </p>
<p>And then of course there are people in Alaska who will say “well you have to take a plane to get to the next town here,” I’m saying it varies. And by my definition and a lot of other people’s, UCONN is not located “in the middle of nowhere.”</p>
<p>NO. I live in Durham NC, and I HATE it. I’m fortunate enough to have a parent work at Duke which can give me 75% of Dukes tuition to any other school in the country (basically covering any OOS public school)</p>
<p>Durham is a “big” city by population, but it isn’t what I like. i want to go to a big school in a medium sized city.</p>
<p>I live in the suburbs of Atlanta currently but have grown up all over the country. I absolutely detest Georgia and the South. I’m going to California, the Northeast, or Canada for college. And I hope to never have to live in the South ever again!</p>
<p>I love my state, NY. No place like it, best place to make it big, and it’s diverse with all kinds of cultures. I didn’t even apply to schools OOS because I knew I didn’t want to leave (although commuting will be a pain in the arse)</p>
<p>Yeah…don’t really like the idea of being so far away from everyone that I know. University of Alabama, here I come!</p>
<p>^ UAlabama is getting so popular in my school!</p>
<p>I mean Id love the chance to go out of state but finances are definitely a big issue. I mean I live in MD and the VAST MAJORITY of our senior class stays instate. I mean whats the point of going out of state if you’ll end up with $120,000 worth of debt just for undergrad unless the school is top tier academically?</p>
<p>I’m staying in PA - combination of in-state tuition mixed with wanting to be far enough away that I’m living on my own, but close enough that, if something were to happen, I could come home within a few hours. I’m going up into Erie from the Pittsburgh area, so about two hours away, same state. Plus, I was in love with my school even before I found out it was located in PA.</p>
<p>I hate how big all of the CA state schools are, but Blue+Gold plan is too sweet to pass up.</p>
<p>I love Long Island and all, but i will go where i am accepted in the country and hopefully come back after.</p>
