Colorado at boulder
Texas at Austin
those are some hard choises
-
Hehe,..(can't resist)...how did you do on the spelling part of the SAT's? :D
Congratulations and good luck. UT was my alma mater, so I am sort of partial to it.
-
why not the school of spelling and grammar? ;)
weigh your decision based on education you can recieve on not on the location....
ah nevermind, HAWAII !! :)
-
Collage? Maybe he's going to be an Art Major, Skuzzy?
-
Just because a persons spelling is bad, doesn't mean they are not intelligent.
I code all day long, and my spelling has gone down the tubes since I graduated college 8 years ago. I just don't write anymore well at least not real words.
-
What is your major going to be?
-
narsus,..I was poking fun and sincerely wish him the best.
I was not making any attempt to categorize his intelligence based on his spelling.
It's always good to see others working to better themselves or working towards goals. A bit inspirational.

Colorado at Boulder. Great place.

Nephew went to Boulder. He got a great education and has been recruited by Motorola. They even paid him to spend a summer in Spain.
-
Austin is a nice town :)

Congrats NOD2000.
Looks like my daughter is going to go to The Citadel. The Citadel! My daughter with all those boys! Crap!!!!
All because shes ranked #3 in the state in girls highjump. She even has a 3.5 GPA. I doomed.

Thanks MT. I am am extremely proud... But all those guys!

I'm never going to have a daughter. I've been to university and seen what they get up to.
Ooops... that wasn't very comforting was it Apache? What I meant to say was that I'm sure she'll be very responsible and mature and get on with her course etc etc etc. :D

Congradulations to your daugher!
You do realize of course... a shotgun is not going to be sufficient in this situation. Your going to need a ground mounted .50 at the very least.

while i was... waylaid there for a short time I noticed that the ratio of hot girls to guys was about 1000 better then any other place i'd been before.

2 girls here.
You will start hearing about how the boys are all "like brothers" and how they are "really protective" and "sweet".
You and I both know what a load of crap that is.
-
Any body see Hitech spell!!:D I can see it now on Skuzzy's paycheck scuzi!!!:D Natedog = datdawg. Superfly = supe to many letters. I think someone once said he need spell checker on his coding.
Anyways congrats to your colleges of choice and of course the daughters choice also.:)

I have 7 yr old daughter and I have to say ya'll have me toejamting my pants.

That's a nice reflection of the American educational system. You are admitted college and you still cannot spell correctly.
Narsus, you may be the best for the job and ubber clever, but how far your cover letter and resume will go when the recruiter is shaking his head at your spelling?
Not bashing you personally NOD, congratulation on College acceptance, keep it up!!!
-
Apache its not the head they will be interested in ;)
-
HOOK'EM!
-
congrats nod...

err why did you just defend his intellegence just to smash it???
really why would you give up hawaii just to live in colorado where the mountains are in the wrong spot or in texas where its always to hot...
-
Frenchy, I agree with you wholeheartedly. There are many members of this board who speak and write english as a second, third, or even fourth language. Sadly, those people have a better command of spelling, grammar, and structure than some of the people here who speak and write english natively.
How exactly is it that one gets accepted into an institution of higher learning when his or her essay reads, "I would like to go to your collage becuz i heard there r lots of pritty gurls there and i am pritty hot so gurls r gunna like me and im smart 2 so you see y i shuld go 2 yur skool."
You want to be respected? Take some pride in presenting yourself clearly and effectively to the audience you are making your case to.

I think that what you do for a living should help. Tends to put out the fire when they find out Daddy carries a gun.

lol I remember a few years ago my little brother came to me and said, "dude I 'm nailing a State Trooper's daughter and I don't know what to do."
I said "what do you mean?"
He said "I'f he find's out he will kill me, but I can't leave it alone. She is such a freak!"
Turns out the guy did my background interview.

Reminds me of a young lady I once dated. She was a wild thing, I was even shocked when I picked her up one time and she told her parents she'd be home "whenever".
Later I was in her living room, and there was this picture of her Dad with Field Marshal Montgomery. Turns out the guy was SAS or the WW2 equivilent, and probably could have skinned me alive if he had half a mind.

Oh yeah, I can assure you that it is still a load of crap these days.

actually i know a lot of people who just don't watch what they're typing
you can have an hour long discussion about whatever and get tons out of it, but then you'll see them write emails that are just horrid
NOD, going to austin will show how smart you are :)

If ANY random guy is described as "sweet" by your daughter, hunt him down :p

I went to college in Hawaii and also at a University about 20 miles from University of Colorado at Boulder. I have visited various parts of Texas in the winter and summer. I think that you would be very happy in Colorado or Texas.
However, nothing compares to Hawaii. If you can afford to go to school in Hawaii, by all means, go there! The year I spent there was the time of my life. I kayaked, biked, hiked, partied, played tourist, and generally had a blast during my stay. I even met my wife on Waikiki Beach.
The cost of living in Oahu is outrageous. There are only 3 types of people whom I would recommend living in Hawaii to: military, college kids, and those who are already rich. Most folks who live there have to work 2 or 3 jobs just to survive. They don’t have the free time to really enjoy their surroundings. Military and college folks generally already have the housing thing worked out and they are used to being poor.
Go to school on the mainland, and you will never know what you missed. Go to school in Hawaii and you won’t believe that you even seriously considered any place else!

P.S.
(During my first semester of college I was on academic probation for crappy English skills as well. After 10 years of higher education I have become one with F7. )

Trust me on this one, if your major is in a U in hawaii, GO THERE.
College is college.
College in paradise is something you will never ever ever ever get the chance again.
Take it.

WTG NOD!! CMOK!!!!!!!!!!!

4 years in Colorado was more than enough to make me wish I'd picked a better location for college. Sadly, they wouldn't move the damn academy...
Anyway, definitely take Hawaii. Like OIO said, college is college. When else are you going to get the chance to hang out in Hawaii? After college comes work, and that tends to really cut into the lounging-on-the-beach-staring-at-scantily-clad-women time.
-
Hawai, hands down !
Congratulation on your acceptance :)
-
Spell check will get you thru CollAge vwery wel... Wish we had spell check back in the dark ages.. We had to actually try!
Actually they dont care how you spell they just want your Dollars spent at their collAge... Good Luck to you Nod!!

NOD, Congrat's. Pick Hawaii. Its where students in Texas and Colorado wish they were.
"Looks like my daughter is going to go to The Citadel. The Citadel! My daughter with all those boys! Crap!!!!"
Apache, Dont worry about the "boys" there. They're a bunch of pansies.

Boulder... trust me.
