1. Hello!

Glad to see you are checking out colleges.

:hi:

2. I was

then I decided to go to NOVA, the local community college. So the college board is still sending me stuff. I wouldnt mind WVU but see I wanna get out of VA, which I would do by doing this but I dont think Morganstown is my kind of town. So it wouldnt hurt to be a mountaineer but I would rather go some place out.

3. WVU alum here...

what do you want to study? Morgantown's not SO bad (its where I currently reside).

4. I like criminal justice, some kinda history, political science, etc

Not dissing morganstown, Ive never been and to be honest I would like West Virginia, I wanna be in democratic turf, however I want to be in a city or near the shore, and bless morganstown but its not neither.

6. Never thought you were dissing...

I feel like a traitor for saying this but, if you're looking into criminal justice, you might be better off somewhere else. Alot of the Crim Justice course load is handled through the Department of Sociology and Anthropology (of which I am a graduate of). The sad thing is that there are some really good folks teaching there, but its severely underfunded.

The Poli Sci program on the other hand, is pretty good. I took a couple of classes in the department, and I really enjoyed it. I also think they have a really good graduate program too. The faculty seems to have some renown. I actually have thought about pursuing a MA in Poli Sci, but don't know what the job prospects are.

Not on the shore?? Were on the shore of the lovely Monongahela River! :puke: Good luck with whatever you choose!!

5. Was posting semi-intelligent reply when poop hit fan, server-wise

In a nutshell, consider that out-of-state fees are drastically higher than in-state fees, or were back in the day. Consider moving to your state of choice and working for a year to establish residency, either before or after the community college gig.

PS Shouldn't you be thinking about GWU?

PPS Everybody duck! The last time I tried to post this it blew out the server!

7. Washington?

wouldnt GWU be out of state technically being its in DC. I am doing community college first.

[Bossy Monkey]

9. Yes, didn't you say you wanted to go out of state? n/t

[JohnKleeb]

10. yeah I have

but that would be like going in state lol being DC is so near to home. I wanna go to school like in New York, Philly, Chicago, or Boston, DC maybe but I want a new start.
