To move out or not?...

[nslay]

First Tallahassee is near "redneck riviera" and you wanted to attend university in Alabama?

*Sigh* You're not a very good Floridian. You were raised in Orlando or something weren't you. So I guess I'll have to connect the little dots for you to understand.

Gainesville is a redneck riviera if you ask me.

Didn't quite get the joke about the Redneck Riviera I see... maybe you should ask somebody who has a clue?

On the other hand I refuted everything you claimed about FSU's dorms, security, people, admosphere because you simply you have no clue what you are talking about.

And its not possible that you only think that FSU is so wonderful because you're so in love with a) FSU itself and b) Tallahassee? Thats typical Seminole behavior, another great argument against FSU.

You came to football games here and assumed that everyday is a football game, you came on your 2 day campus tour and assumed that what you saw was all FSU.

Well... yea. I went on a recruiting trip and was around for several days. Didn't like the atmosphere. Was around for a campus tour for 2 days. Didn't like that atmosphere then either. From two seperate trips, with two seperate groups, and the same negative vibe, I think I'm capable of making a decision.

University of Florida doesn't even have half of what FSU has an offers.

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW THAT? FROM A TWO DAY TOUR HUH? Sound familiar? It should, because thats you.

Give me a break and while you're at it read about both on Wikipedia.

So all of the time that I've spent on UF's campus doesn't count?

However I drove through Gainesville and it was a bunch of nothing, a "redneck riviera."

Ah so you drove through Gainesville once, well I guess thats pretty extensive experience. You're right nslay, FSU MUST be better than UF. Because you're SO experienced when it comes to FSU and you EVEN drove through Gainesville once! I mean jeez! You've seen it all!

All in all, college visits, experiences, and visitation with students have taught me a few things: University of Florida outclasses FSU both in facilities and in the liberal arts, not to mention the medicinal sciences, but the atmosphere is among the best in the nation. You are living proof that FSU does not have the quality student body the University of Florida has. You have personally succeeding in soldifying in my mind that I made the right decision to pass on FSU and go straight to the top, UF.

Look, you want to attack me?  Fine, but I'm sorry, a few trips and a few football games doesn't mean very much when you're gauging campus life.  My claim that Gainesville is in the middle of no where is justified by the fact that I drove through it and saw very little.  I was never on the campus for a long time and so I never made any claims that you made about FSU.  Sorry, but its true that FSU offers more than UF (Some examples: NSA accredited CS program, Mag Lab, Dance School, Film School).   Just keep in mind whose attacking here.  You made a bunch of claims about FSU that you really don't have much to go on.  I think I have more to go on knowing that Gainesville is in the middle of no where by driving through it though.  Oh and go look at Google Earth while you're at it. 

Just keep in mind not one thing bad was said about you.  This and many other posts are just evidence of your crudeness...if you ask me, you reflect the lowlife by resorting to personal offenses.

Edit: But hey, you're welcome to think whatever you like about FSU...just remember though, that you came for a few trips and a few football games and I've lived here two years.

(Wikipedia) Numbers for Gainesville and Tallahassee indicate that Tallahassee had 50000 (in 2000) more residents and is about 50 squared miles larger.  However, I'm still surprised that there were 100000 residents in Gainesville.  It really doesn't look like much of an area, but I suppose by demographics that its not as bad as I had thought.

Moving out costs about $9k-$10k a year here (we have an inexpensive society in Las Cruces).  I just don't understand how people worked their way through college (no scholarships & no parnetal help)....sounds like they must've been uber dedicated & went to cheaper schools & everything was MUCH less expensive then

Student loans?  I've talked to enough people who were thousands of dollars in dept after graduating, and I really want to stay away from that.

For the record, nslay, I did not read your post and WILL NOT read your post. I'm done telling you why UF is better than FSU.

How typical of you!

I at least want you to see this (it has nothing to do with UF or FSU:

Loans can be very dangerous...you're gambling that you can find a job as soon as you finish to pay off the loan.  Then again, if the field you are looking at has high demands, you probably will get that job.

Government loans are not much of a gamble. Low interest and plenty of time to pay back what you have borrowed. You call it a risk, what it actually is is taking on some responsibility.

My cousin graduated Baylor with like $33k of debt...not fun.
I have money saved, I'd just rather keep it saved (or invest somehow) instead of throwing it away on rent (I'd have nothing to show for my money if I rented, if I bought a house nearby campus I could rent out the rooms & such to pay back the loan I'd take out against the money I have now)

Student loans, I could do that but there is no need for them currently
