I am thinking of attending this school in Portland and would like any personal advice- from what the school is like, to the best places to live in Portland. I would be moving from Austin, TX.

If you're seriously considering chiropractic as a career, please consider Palmer College in Davenport.  I'd highly recommend visiting to get a first-hand appreciation for where chiropractic was founded.  It's arguably the best chiropractic school in the world.  Even if it's not the right fit for you, it would help you in your decision-making process.  Check out the website below.  I hope this helps.

I go to BYU, and I find it to be a very positive environment.  I don't know that it is necessarily "better" for Mormons than other schools, but it does provide a positive environment for faith and it helps people live their religion.  It is an amazing opportunity to learn gospel principles along side temporal principles and to hear professors bear their testimony of the gospel and to feel your own testimony strengthened.  It is also nice to be around other members of the church, and to grow together.  With that said, I also think that it is important to keep in mind that a person, no matter where they go to school, can have the same kind of experiences that they might have at BYU.  If you're a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, you can live your religion wherever you are; it doesn't matter if you are at BYU.  However, being at BYU may make it a little easier to do so.  \n\nAs far as Utah being suffocating, I'm not sure about that.  I like it here.  I wouldn't neccesarily like to live here, but it's a nice place to go to school.

Westfield school, Westfield road is a good school and anywhere within a square mile is good place to live, hospital, post office sorting office, tesco(10th biggest in England in 1998), town centre are all within 10Min's walking distance of the school, Preston road(off Westfield road) is a main road with a good bus service running and down it, \nfind a map of Yeovil and look for Ilchester road and mudford road, Yeovil collage is right between the two and to the left(Ilchester road side) and beyond is the area I would suggest you look for housing not that there aren't any good places on the other side(mudford road side) as there are some really nice houses down there it's just that more gangs of youths and drug dealers down there so if you found a place away from the noise of the main road your more likely to have to put up with the noise of youth, not that it doesn't exist around the Preston road area I just felt it was more spread out and you had a much better chance of a bit of peace and quite, not that I'm trying to put you off but you are aware that at one point there was more racial tension in Yeovil than compared to major cites like Manchester or London, if your determined to get away from that kind of trouble then try Hendford hill it may be one of the busiest roads in Yeovil it rarely sees any trouble plus there’s a really huge park just off it also there’s Goldenstone  leisure centre at the bottom Hendford hill is also a main road so it’s a direct route into town, tesco, hospital and other areas of Yeovil plus it’s a 10min walk from them all, have a look at Camborne road/grove and surrounding areas(off Sherborne road) that is a really nice quite area but I’d only ever been there during the day gardening so I don’t know/heard of any problems down there, well that’s all I can think of just now but please understand that all this is just my opinion from living there more than 5 years ago and things may have changed since then, if you have any questions feel free to contact me and I’ll try to be as helpful as possible, and good luck with the move:o)

Morristown is a nice place, but I would check with some people who have direct contact or expereince with the University,  I generally like the feel of smaller liberal arts schools myself, and find that some of the best and healthiest student-teacher-school relationships are found there.  Not saying anything bad about big-box schools, it is all about what is best for you. Oh, and please for the sake of your future don't for a second take anything in US News and World Report's "college rankings".  Those rankings are compiled with one thing in mind only, making USN&WR money, not trying to help you find the right place for you.

What is the advantage of moving, other than better schools?  The stress and change may be worse for the kids than staying in the current school.  Would the seller rent to you w/ option to buy? Would they give you much of your rent back toward the purchase price?

I'm a freshman in TX and I am thinking about going there, so yeah. Okay Texas has a law where if you are in the top 10% of your high school then colleges have to accept you... something like that. Anyway, I know that UTA often times doesn't even have room to accept all of the top 10% that apply, so if you don't live here... I pretty sure that chances are slim... I know that they have a website though so you should check it out. I think what I have told you is pretty acurate.

Northeastern University is a great university. It's right in Boston near transportation systems (bus and train) and the Food Court is nice. They have many very interesting public seminars and speeches there, too. It's great. I think you should go there.

Well, the idea of "best" depends on what you are looking for. UT Austin is clearly the most renowned of the two depts. It will be a big dept, very research focused, a number of classes taught by grad students, some very good opportunities to hear seminars by leading psychologists. San Antonio is likely to be smaller, more personal interaction, more classes taught by regular faculty.\n\nSo, the best depends on what you want. If you want best from the outside, UT Austin has it hands down. If you want best in terms of fit for your daughter, I don't think you can tell this until you and she have actually visited the schools and talked to students and sat in on classes and looked at what fits best for her.\n\nGood luck! A fun but scary time! Either way it will be a good education for her.

I didn't attend there (although I have visited the campus), but I do have strong opinions about size of schools.  Too big is difficult for some people.  I wouldn't have survived it as an undergrad.  I went to an enormous school for grad school, and it was ok then, but for undergrad, I really think the smaller schools are much better.  you get more opportunity to interact with the instructors, and get to know other students.

Tempe and Scottsdale are not that far apart from each other, so there should not be any real difference except that Tempe is probably a little less expensive.  Chandler is off in the other direction going south and seems to be away from the action in my opinion.  If you're looking for a place that is unique but still affordable and the cost of living is a little bit less, try Arrowhead Ranch in the Glendale area.  More specifically, look into Arrowhead Lakes where I have my home.  It is one of the few areas in Maricopa County where you can have your own boat on your own private lake with fishing (catch and release), hiking trails nearby, the Loop 101 at your back door and have the prestige of living in a well kept community (Homeowners Association) without the hassles of a gated community.  It is quiet since it's tucked away from the main roads but still close to everything you'd want as far as shopping, malls, businesses, etc.  It's located north of the Loop 101 and is bordered on the west by 59th Ave. and on the east by 51st Ave (which more or less dead-ends into the mountain).  Anyway, that's my input! :)

Yes, it is.  Texas Tech is recognized as one of the flagship institutions in the State of Texas.\n\nLike any university, Texas Tech may be more respected in some fields than others--but it is a wonderful choice.\n\nAnd Lubbock is a great place to live!

I have some friends moving there and she's been looking for a job.  There is supposedly a very large job market there.  Not only many jobs available, but many good jobs.\n\nIt's a great place for someone on the east coast looking for decent pay and willing to relocate!

well, I'm a black student and I attended both. I did my first two years at Prairie View A&M University (www.pvamu.edu) and my last two years at Texas A&M-Commerce (www.tamu-commerce.edu). \n\nBoth of them have advantages and disadvantages. At PV, all of the students looked like me. This was comforting, but at the same time it didn't force me to go outside of my comfort zone and challenge my pre-conceived notions of other cultural groups. Also, we had a problem with people who didn't come for the education but rather the social experience and they brought some of their bad habits (violent tendencies, gang cultural, etc.) The school was pretty good about putting them out, but it's sad that they would do that rather than try to get an education when there are so many people who can't afford to attend a four year university.\n\nAt A&M-Commerce, very few of the students look like me, and it can be kind of isolating, especially since I transferred in after everyone had formed their cliques. The frats and sororities are radically different from those at my HBCU. I don't get out as much because I don't have as much in common with my fellow students. However, I really like being exposed to other cultures. I get alot of questions that start out like " Can I ask you a question without you getting offended?" and I ask my fair share as well. \n\nSo yeah, both were really good for both my academic and cultural education.

Why would you want to do that? Portland is going to be slow paced compared to S.F. Do you want that switch? My advice is stay where you are.

Places in the university district are a little high due to the campus being so close.And Windemere is really expensive.MountLake Terrace is a nice place to live.Small and just outside of Kenmore/Bothell(about 8 miles outisde Seattle.A short 15 minute drive).Wallingford is also very nice.

Howdy!  I currently live in Bloomington and my partner and I are both bi.  The university community is the San Francisco of the midwest, the rest of the town is pretty liberal compared to the rest of Indiana.  Bloomington is a blast and pretty safe.  You can usually find us dancing at Bullwinkle's on Friday night, and you can sip away with fellow liberals at Soma coffee house.  Let me know if you need a tour guide!

I have lived in St. Marys, GA (at Kings Bay) and in Jacksonville (stationed at Mayport).  I didn't have kids when I lived there, but I think the Kings Bay area would be the better of those two for a family. It's a beautiful little community, everything looks new and the people are friendly.  Jacksonville is so big, and is more adult-oriented, at least the closer you are to the base.  As I remember, the cost of living was about the same (they're only about an hours drive from one another). The gas was cheaper in GA.  The Kings Bay base is a WHOLE lot nicer than Mayport. I lived in the areas from 1993 to 1999.  Never lived in Pensacola, but I hope this helps with the other two.  Good luck, GO NAVY!
