Hmm, it's quiet in here

<p>Any one here attending or planning to attend UNL on an NHRP scholarship?</p>

<p>I'm a student at Nebraska.</p>

<p>My daughter is thinking about attending Nebraska on a National Hispanic Scholarship. She's hesitant; we're from the west coast and she's not sure what to expect in the midwest. Are you originally from the midwest? How's Lincoln?</p>

<p>Hello? Hello?</p>

<p>My son applied, we are just waiting to hear. We are OOS, he checks every day, so hopefully some good news soon?</p>

<p>Yes, we're just waiting, too. If you're in New Jersey, I'm thinking Nebraska has to seem as foreign to you as it does to us. Did you visit at all?</p>

<p>We are from NJ, but my daughter attends school in the Mid-West and LOVES it. She feels that people/students from the tri-state (NY,NJ,PA,CT) area are more competive and sometimes not so nice. She has really enjoyed living away from home. I think my son will welcome the change. Heck....why not try something different while you are young? My son also wants a large state school with a good sports program. That is very important to him. Whereas my daughter attends a small private D3 school. So I guess it is different strokes for different folks. I just wish we would hear, so I could plan some college visits.</p>

<p>My daughter hasn't been that interested in the sports program. We are mostly interested in the academic scholarships. She has been a swimmer since 3rd grade but up until about 2 weeks ago never considered swimming in college (it's amazing what a really good senior swim season can do for your confidence). Nebraska is a school where she would at least have a shot at swimming. Her other choices so far are Alabama and Arizona; it would take some real work on her part to talk herself onto either one of those teams. Her first choice right now is Arizona; Nebraska is #2.</p>
