Going on Exchange to the US

[Damaramu 0]

Don't do California. Cost of living is too high.

 

I'm so spoiled by how cheap it is to live in Oklahoma. I know if I ever move anywhere else I'll freak out.

It's 1200 for a decent 2 bedroom apartment in a decent neighborhood here. Housing costs are through the roof.

 

Fuck that.

I'm about to commit to paying somewhere around $900-1000/month to share a townhouse with two other people in a suburb of D.C. Take your California whinin' outta here!

 

...And send me a few bucks while you're at it.

I'd want, in this order:

 

- A quality school, academically

- A radio program

- A quality sports program (for viewing, not participation)

- Some wrestling

- Quality women.

Wrestling above women?

You make a good point. I got in touch with some people today, turns out I can get a $5000 loan to be put on my HECS (Student Loan), and a $2500 scholarship. So I'd only have to raise about 6 grand in 18 months. Do-able.

I'm going on Exchange, possibly next year, and I need help figuring out which College would be best for me to attend for six months. These are my possibilities:

 

* Butler University (Indiana)

* Colorado State University

* Ithaca College (New York)

* Kansas City Art Insitute

* State University of New York at Oswego

* Towson University (Maryland)

* University of California

* University of Hawaii

* University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

* University of New Mexico

* University of Texas at Austin

* Southwest Missouri State University

* University of Virginia

* University of Western Washington

 

 

WTF? I didn't know there was an AI in Kansas City.

EDIT: Nevermind. I can talk you out of Hawai'i a little later.

I wasn't considering Hawaii as an option. I'd rather go to the East Coast and go to about 7 different states.

Fuck that.

 

In Norman a nice 2 bedroom will run you about 400 a month....

And nobody wants that.

Kansas City Art Insitute

Then I'd have to come up and see just how Australian you really are

Don't go to Ithaca or Oswego. Seriously.

I just meant that you shouldn't even consider it. You're not going to get anything noteworthy out of their program in a single year.

 

And as you said, everything you want out of Hawai'i, you can just accomplish by going there for two weeks.

As far as New Mexico goes:

 

- A quality school, academically - check. It's not Harvard, but what is? Besides Harvard, I mean. And Yale.

- A radio program - KUNM, 89.9 FM.

- A quality sports program (for viewing, not participation) - the Lobos are always entertaining.

- Some wrestling - Are you into MMA? Shit's absolutely huge down there. We're talking Boxcar Ira fighting for a sandwich. It's brutal.

- Quality women - well, are you into Latinas?
