therealworldschampion 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2005 It looks like for law school next year I'll be going to either Widener in Delaware or Western New England College in Springfield, Massachusetts. Anyone live in either of these two places and can give me some advice on what's some cheap housing, fun stuff to do, etc.? Go ahead and add the Pittsburgh area of PA as well because I have a shot at Duquesne too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2005 Shittsburgh's been covered, sorta. Good luck with Duquesne. Should let you know that they're an EVIIIIIL Jesus school though. When I was in college, I attended this faggy liberal arts school (Point-less Park University) and there was talk of some hippie partnership between the two. I swear to Christ the people here thought Ralph Reed was going to storm in with a SWAT team and take away any guy wearing a pink bracelet or something. If you have any other questions about Shittsburgh, let me know. Do you plan on living in dorms or in a real place? And how far would you be willing to drive if you are doing the latter?...

I'm Catholic, so Duquesne being a Catholic school doesn't bother me much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know for a fact that Duquesne takes the higher of 2 LSATs, so I'm retaking and hoping to pull a 157-158. The GPA is strong enough (3.6), so I just need to do a little better on the goddamn test. Worst-case scenario is I go to a lower-ranked school, kick ass the first semester and transfer into a higher-ranked one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2005 Widener is in the wrong end of Delaware (Im 5 minutes from Delaware to the south, and Widener is up at the north end in Wilmington). My view of Delaware thus is skewed because southern Delaware is nothing like the area around Wilmington. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigPoppaKev 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2005 Being a masshole myself I strongly suggest to avoid Springfield. Believe me you don't want t be in that shithole of a city. Even Worcester is better than Springfield. Going to school in Boston I would say is your best bet. It's a great city to live in and also appeals well to college students with so many colleges in the area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2005 Yeah, Wilmington isn't exactly safeville. In fact, most of the city looks like a big ass slum. Still, in the summer you can invade good old southern Delaware for the beaches and hot ass vacation girls.

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2005 The only positive I can see for Springfield is that it isn't Weymouth. Weymouth just eats balls, man. I have to deliveries to Weymouth for work regularly, and man...I couldn't imagine living there. It's not, like, Blackstone or Woonie (Woonsocket, RI for you non-Massholes, or at least the Massholes that aren't from SE MA), but...it's close to being Framingham. A lot of businesses, but nothing else, really. It's what Framingham would be like if it were filled with honkies instead of Brazilians, really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
