<p>I got accepted a couple of months ago, with a nice and chunky scholarship as well. Now I have a super hard choice to make-- The fin aid pkg at several of the other schools was better, so sadly, that may be a deciding factor..... BUT, those considering and on the fence- Wooster is a great school. I loved my visits there and felt right at home. Try to visit if you can as that will help make your choice an easier and informed one! Best of luck everyone.</p>
<p>hello everyone! im new to all this but i was looking for information on wooster and stumbled across the thread. i got accepted to wooster about a month ago and will be attending next year! is anyone else going up for the april 19-20 admitted students visit.</p>
<p>i too am switching climates...texas to ohio...im gonna freeze.</p>
<p>Asinglerose207--You'll love it there, even if you freeze part of the time!!</p>
<p>I think that my son and I will be at the April 19-20 event. My older son is a junior at COW, but I want son #2 to view it alone, without his brother hanging over him! You won't freeze, thanks to global warming! Every place is pretty close by, so you won't be out in the cold very long, even if it does get real cold.</p>
<p>didnt expect to be thanking global warming for anything anytime soon...but thank you global warming. i just told my mother that not only was she paying for my college education..but she'd have to buy me a whole new wardrobe as well. perhaps i will meet you and your son up there</p>
<p>My Kentucky born and raised daughter has whimpered once or twice this winter about "extreme cold," but I really don't think it's been a problem for her. She seems happy as a clam (however happy a clam might be!) and is surviving her first year at Wooster quite nicely. She did, however, come down with a bad, very tenacious cold first semester, which took her weeks and weeks to get over. I attribute this more to the stress of adapting to a new environment and life as a College Student than to the weather. Good luck to you all!</p>
<p>i have a rather strange question for everyone on here. being a texan, i dont really have many warm weather clothes. im sure i'll buy alot of stuff up there... but what all do i really need?</p>
<p>is your question still related to clothes?</p>
<p>anyways, light jacket, heavy jacket, scarf, and some long shirts = good</p>
<p>Living in Florida we don't have many stores that sell quality warm clothes. Since my DD will be heading to COW as a freshman next year we decided to get an LL Bean credit card. This gives us free shipping and then she can order what she needs and have it sent to Wooster. It takes the stress out of trying to purchase a cold weather wardrobe before she goes. She has enough to take her through the first few months and can then add layers as she needs them.</p>
<p>What a terrific idea! It might not have worked for us, though. Unfortunately, my prima donna daughter (now a Woo freshman) HAS to try on everything before buying. Which limits her options from places like LL Bean and Land's End, unless she wants the hassle of sending things back. ...</p>
<p>ah, but Land's End is now at Sears, with big sales. I'm wearing a warm fuzzy top that was $7 on winter clearance. If shipping is free LL Bean or Zappos for winter boots might be worth the chance. They'll take the wrong size back without question at Zappos.
I guess I should go compare Ohio to NJ in the winter. Which is STILL HERE and my poor forsythia are not great this spring, since it was spring in the winter.</p>
<p>After temperatures in the mid-80s last week, central Kentucky dropped to low 20s for several nights. Just about everything that had turned green now looks shriveled and dead as the proverbial doornail. Don't you just love nature? ... I forgot that Land's End has a department at Sears now. Good idea.</p>
<p>yes my Rhodie lost half it's branches a short while ago. I thought the bulbs would die off - we'll see if I get blooms. They came up during that warm winter weather and died back when it snowed. ugh.
where's my global warming?</p>
<p>yep, I sure did misspeak when I talked about global warming! Here in the Boston area, we're told to expect a snowstorm tomorrow and possibly over the weekend,too. My daffodils are very sad.</p>
<p>Lucky for this part of NJ it's just pouring rain and heavy wind. Heck of a storm coming up and at you. My DS, who loves to ski, can't get away for the weekend to go north. he's bummed.</p>
<p>So, The check is in the mail, and DD2 is a COWgirl.</p>
<p>Just wanted to mention, because of meghill's post that I looked for the black squirrels. Yep, they were there. Very interesting.</p>
<p>Well, daughter says she is going to Wooster. Haven't sent the reply back yet, but it looks like she is headed there in the fall. She really liked her visit. Wow. I can't believe this process is finally (almost) over!</p>
<p>Mstee--Congratulations! She couldn't be in a better place than Wooster. We've been more than happy with our daughter's first-year experience there.</p>
<p>just want to report that Son #2 has decided to join son #1 at Wooster -- I'm thrilled! We visited last week, and I ate at the cafeteria...several times. I found the food pretty good, and unfortunately too abundant! My skinny son (#2) pigged out on all-you-can-grab ice cream sandwiches, so I'm anticipating a Frshman 15 effect next year.</p>
<p>remind the kids to join the facebook Wooster Class of 2011. For some reason it looks like none of them are on the Wooster site message board, but I think my DD said there are 3 facebook groups already.</p>
