<p>Last year, you were a freshman at *GWU. You got in trouble there(long story) and decided you wanted to transfer to *WVU for your sophomore year. You get a sports scholorship to play basketball and baseball at WVU. But a couple of months later, you realize that even with the scholorship, you will still have to pay 33,000 a year in loans. You don't want to take out that much money a year, escpecially in loans, so you decide that you want to go back up to GWU for your junior year, were you won't have to pay a lot, because GWU is a state school, were WVU is a private school.
Now, the student ratio at WVU is 35% men, 65% women. 57% are part time students, and apparently a good amount of students are in their 30's and 40's. Only like 21% are 19 and 20.
1. Would you want to find someone at WVU, even though you were planning to go back up to GWU?
2. Would you be open to dating at WVU?
3. What are the chances you will find someone at WVU?</p>
<p>The colleges are a good 3 hours away from each other.</p>
<p>As for the questions themselves, though… I personally believe college should be about learning and that it shouldn’t be chosen based on whether I could find a date. I’d rather go to an all-male school (okay, that doesn’t work out, but I’m a lesbian, so it’s the only one I can use as an example!) with amazing stats and that gives me a good chance at getting a degree and getting a job rather than Crappy State University, where the girls are beautiful and bangable. I personally just think it’s plain stupid to make that a big factor.</p>
<p>However, there’s still 21% students your age. Not as big a number as you’re used to, but there’s still probably someone willing to date you in that number. Be a little harder to find them, but it’s supposed to be hard to get a decent date! If you’re transfering schools over and over again, though, I wouldn’t be looking for anyone long-term. What are the chances, even if you were staying at one place for 4 years, that both of you would stick together beyond that, move together for careers, and then get married? Yeah, college romances aren’t always very long-term anyway.</p>
<p>Ummmm…I would say def. switch back to your old school. 33K a year in loans is ridiculous and I can’t believe you decided to transfer there without thinking about this. Of course, make sure you are actually saving money by transferring back - i.e. the credits will transfer over and you can complete your degree in time still.</p>
<p>Though this post is made confusing because GWU is a well-known private and WVU is a well-known state school…lol.</p>
<p>As far as dating, ummm…yeah, I would’t get serious with anyone. But that’s easier said than done. If you fall for someone, you fall for someone, right? Just focus on your grades so that you can say you got a good GPA there on your resume and if you meet a girl, you meet a girl…go with the flow. But I’m wondering why it was necessary to include all of this ratio info o.-.</p>
<p>You just switched the names, didn’t you? GWU is like the most expensive school in the nation, where else could you get scholarships (sports ones, nontheless) and still have to pay 33k a year?</p>
<p>Can we move this post to the College Admissions area and rename it “Why you should research financial aid before going to college instead of blindly switching repeatedly”? I’m sure hundreds of juniors and sophomores can learn something from this…</p>
<p>This is why community college is good for some of us. When I do something stupid, I waste somewhere between $100-500 a semester and it so far hasn’t hurt my transcript. Sounds like OP added 33k to his debt and has to decide to get into my debt to not hurt his transcript or save some money and look like an idiot.</p>
<p>I would say when your mistakes are going to be so costly you might want to pay attention and actually think about your actions. Does anyone ever think to themselves, “okay, how am I going to pay for this?” OP fails at math.</p>
<p>“Comiclover-“funny”-haha or “funny”-this is a mess?”</p>
<p>Both.</p>
<p>Haha funny in the sense that this is amusing me. </p>
<p>A mess in the sense that its a waste of money and time and you could lose credits and grad schools/jobs are going to ask what the hell was going on and if you don’t have a good reason you are going to look stupid.</p>
<p>Plattburgh, “I’m desperate and broke. What would you do?” - Explain, please. Because this question has nothing to do with money.
And to everyone else who thinks that I’M in this situation, I’m not. It’s someone I know. And to the people who said that it’s stupid to transfer back, it’s really not. 33,000 is a lot of money, especially if you don’t have a job. Sound stupid now? I really hope not.Why would it be stupid if your saving money?
And Cboe, I only posted this one other time, and re posted this again because I got no answers in my other post. I really don’t need you questioning me. It’s not your life or your business.
Thanks.</p>
<p>But I have another question: Can you get expelled/kicked out of a college just for attempting to steal out of a car and for underage drinking? Because in my opinion, if that was the student(s) first offense, they shouldn’t get kicked out. You usually don’t get kicked out until the third offense, or if your failing all of your classes.
But I was also thinking, if they did get kicked out, would they be allowed back a year later(or 2 years later)?</p>
