Wilson College Inquiry
Several weeks ago, I recieved a letter from Wilson College (an all women's college that supposedly high in ranking) on the basis that they learned of me through Phi Theta Kappa (NHS) and want to offer me their 6,000 per year scholarship to finish my major (which is psychology) there under that Phi Beta Kappa Scholarship they have. My minor should

Yeah elevators were mentioned in the phone conversation I had with the main office a few weeks ago, which I was sort of expecting, and you're right Mac/Dav does sound like a nice place to live dorm wise so I'm actually looking forward to seeing it when I visit in a few weeks, and nope, never ridden a horse at all, but it sounds interesting.
Re the car: I know some colleges have a first year no cars on campus rule, would that apply here or no? That's why I'm worried in the first place (public transport as in metro or public transport scares me - bad experiences one year vowed to never go that route again) because I know some colleges have that rule and I just want to make sure that I can take a car be it my first year there.
As for the pets, not sure about that yet but I haven't had one since my yorkie died in 2004.
I write slower than when I type basically can I take my laptop into a class if need be?

I lived in Philly for a couple years before I came here, and it's not too cramped on campus. I feel so much more claustrophobic on La Salle's campus because one of their dorms would hold our entire residential student population. That sorta boggles my mind, because I'm used to having 60-70 people in my whole dorm. I suppose it's a very subjective thing. ::smile:: It doesn't work for everyone, and that's ok.

Nope. Doesn't apply. The only reason you wouldn't be allowed to have your car is if you kept breaking parking rules, getting tickets, then not paying them. As long as you park where you're supposed to and don't do stupid stuff like running people over, there is really no problem around here with cars.

Yes, provided you aren't disruptive with it. And by disruptive, I pretty much mean "Don't start playing Doom or WoW in the middle of class with your sound on in the middle of class." Not many people here take notes on their laptops, but it's not frowned upon except in one or two of the science lab classes. If you have a lab, ask each professor if they mind. Most won't, and if you really need it, they can't stop you from bringing it but they can request you use it a little away from your actual experiment to keep things from going a little haywire.
Someone takes notes on her computer in my math class, and I've been known to show up to English with it. (In fact, last semester, we had a few work days where Lisa would teach for about 10 minutes, then we'd all pull out our laptops, listen to Mozart, and write papers. It was fantastic and very relaxing.) It's one of those "If it works for you, please do it to make yourself learn better. Please. We want you to learn; that's why we teach here" deals.

I live in Maryland now, and I have to go about 30 minutes to get to my college campus it is over crowed and stuffy and oh god it's one of those things that make you wish you lived in an insane asylum because our motto apparently is like 'stay here for years and never leave' which makes me sit and go 'do what?' it's taken me 4 years to get my minor done (just my minor and I somehow managed to barely start on my major by the skin of my teeth) because of the insanity. I hope Wilsons alot less confusing academically, which it sounds like it it is.

Just thank you. Period. I plan to get my driver's once my ICS exams are over with anywho, so convient timing works apparently.

I figured as much, plus I'm not really the video game type, that and I occasionally multi task but rarely ever happens. ;)
