My husband works in Jacksonville, Fl and I attend school in Gainesville, Fl. If I move to Jacksonville I will have to commute to and from school (about hour and a half drive)about three days a week. Should I just stay in Gainesville or should I move to Jacksonville to live with my husband.

I think you should move to be with your husband.  It's only an hour and a half 3 days a week.  There are a lot of people that commute from Gainsville to Jax to work everyday and don't think twice about it.

If you have to move to stay safe, then get yourself going. Don't worry about the new school you'll be attending. It only takes a couple of weeks to get used to anything new, and I'm sure you'll make a couple of friends by then. I had to move a lot when I was young and I really hated it. Just when I got used to things, my parents would tell me to pack my stuff and we'd move again...six months here, a year there. I went to 5 different schools. But, I do have to say that the last move I made was for the best. We lived on the south side of Chicago and things were getting really bad. I'm so very glad we moved, moving over 200 miles north. It made me relax quite a bit, and I even did better in school, not having to worry about anyone hassling me after school. So, don't worry, little one, things will work out. Especially since it seems your family wants a better life than what they have in your current neighborhood. These things have a way of turning out much better than you could ever imagine. <*)))><

nice part of town is away from downtown (orange park comes to mind)  but the good nightlife can be found along the beaches then again Ferdina Beach is very nice and peaceful as well. You already know about the Jaguars and the largest outdoor cocktail party every college season. as for affordiability it depends on your income but I can tell you this much amelia island offers homes in the 400K range and a lot of areas in the Jacksonville area are around 200k now you could go condo (about 100k) if you are into condos. Your next problem is insurance what you are paying now on your home pretty much double it when you come down here (triple if you live along the beach) . Car taxes none $35 or so for tags every year thats it. state income tax NONE. Grocery Tax NONE. Current gas prices around 2.35 (not bad) but nearby Georgia is lower. traffic NIGHTMARE especially at 5pm. two major interstates (one other is a bypass of 95) and they are jammed  with constant road construction. Just take yahoo and do a home search for teh jacksonville and good luck

Deciding which parent to live with is never an easy decision, first try to come up with a pros and cons list, that might be a good first step. Secondly, decide what it might be like, a week, a month, a year, after your there, deciding if you can adjust to another surrounding is a hard, so give it some thought. Personally, I would move to Florida, just because, depending on the area, can be a really enjoyable place to live. Also, try to figure out as much as you can about where your mom lives, and what it is like there, what you can do for fun, what you could possibly do for work (not sure how old you are but ohh well...) and so on.....I hope I have given you enough to think about and good luck with your decision.

I'd say stay home set the example and save money. The life style change can make you or break you. Try it if not move out the second semester.

At the end of the day are you thinking about yourself or your kid?  If you are truely thinking about what it best for your son then you will stay in the state.  If you add the long distance for your son to see his father, you will only be causing him more problems.  Plus, moving a state will give you a new start but your problems will still be there.

You need to choose a college or two, visit them and return with information about why those would be great places to live for two years.  Find stuff he likes: a hockey team, good weather, job opportunities in his field, shorter commute times, etc.  Talk about how moving there would also benefit your kids.  You can't just expect him to support your idea of moving somewhere without knowing where that would be!  What if you choose Nunavut?  Or Baghdad?  (Extreme examples I know, but you get the picture.)  Remind him that moving young kids is a lot easier than moving older ones.  Perhaps show him examples of the types of jobs you could get WHERE YOU CURRENTLY LIVE, if only you had an MSW (this would make the move feel even more temporary).\n\nHowever, definitely don't give up your dream of getting that MSW.  If it comes down to correspondance, do it that way.  By the way, I live in Graduate Student Accomodation at the University of Calgary, and there are TONS of grad students living here while their spouse is back home.  They're not the happiest bunch, but it's more common than you'd think!

I moved to Abilene, TX. I moved back to a small town in Wisconsin.\n\n3 shocking-\nThe Culture\nThe Speed at which everything moved- it was so much more fast paced living.\nPeople- much snobbier.\n\n3 positive-\nEverything within driving distance\nmore to see and do\nMore opportunities with jobs\n\n3 negative-\nLess family, less privacy\nmore noise and pollution\nMore expectations on your way of living\n\nI moved back to be by my family but also because of the privacy issue. I like to do my own thing and be in a more comfortable setting. Something more familiar.\n\nGood luck with your essay.

You two should have a serious conversation, and decide what are the pros of either of you moving. Example topics of conversation are: where is it more feasible, can either of you relocate your job, what place has more space, and comfort if your combining more than your two lives, who stands to lose the most upon the move, ie. family, friends, etc, and last, but not least, who better has the ability to start successfully over if they have to move.

I would you need alot more hours then 15! You need to do some research before you move and make sure that the job is stable enough for you to move so you can provide for your family! Also make sure that it is a good place for your daughter you don't want to be stuck in a bad neighborhood with a crappy job! I'm looking to relocate myself but its scary I don't know if I would be worse off then I am now! Its a huge step so put some thought in it. GOOD LUCK

Well you have to think over this carefully and take a decision based on what you like more-your parents or your team.\n\nI personally think in a new school you will make it too the team too and make new friends, but then I am a parent too.\n\nRemember, you have to live with your family all along, and traveling may not seem a good idea once you've to do it everyday.\n\nThink over carefully and I sure that you'll come up with a right decision, either way.

Do your homework. Pick the school that will provide you with the best education for what you want to do in life. If you decide that you have picked the wrong one you can transfer out. If you can get a better education leaving Florida for a little while then that is a decision that you should concider. Expecially with the cost of school these days.

This is going to be hard to adjust to and it is a huge geographical move. You can't be moving farther from one part of the country to another unless you move from Maine to Hawaii. This is a big one.\n\nThere are some good things about Florida that Washingtonians don't realize. One is that the weather is going to be a whole lot better than in Washington. It probably rains about 50 days of the year down there. There are never overcast skies for more than 8 hrs. No more standing in the rain anywhere. When you go to the beach or a lake, the water will be bathwater warm. So you are really going to love the weather.\n\nThe bad part is that there is a whole different world view down there. Friends and family loyalty means a whole lot more there than it does here in the Pacific Northwest. So it is going to be a big change.\n\nIt is almost impossible to lose track of friends and family anymore just because of you are looking at it. Cell phones with no long distance restrictions make it even easier. \n\nSo, you can at least stay in touch by way of the Internet and cellphones a whole lot easier than you could before the Internet. \n\nAnd you will go back to Washington someday. Maybe not this year or next, but the world is still young to you and you are just getting a chance to see part of it.\n\nI would think it would be an adventure you can share with your friends in Washington. Besides, if they ever get a chance to go to Florida, you will be the one person they are going to be anxious to see.

Where does your brother want to move to, and why does he want to move to that place?  Does he have any job prospects in the different state, or does he have immediate family in that state?  (Immediate family would be parents, siblings, spouse, or children.)\n\nIf he has immediate family in the other state, there is a presumptive approval of the transfer of probation.  Your brother needs to speak to his probation officer about transferring, and has to fill out the paperwork.  He will have to pay a fee, which is currently $75, to the Interstate Compact of Florida and be up to date on all his costs and fees.\n\nIf he wants to move but doesn't have immediate family in the other state, he can apply for transfer of probation, but the receiving state has the right to turn down the transfer.\n\nThese rules are the same for all states.  I'm an Indiana Probation Officer, and have some clients who were able to transfer, and some who were denied transfer.

My opinion, if you both feel that strongly about moving across the country together, why are you not getting married first?  Marriage should come first, in my opinion.  I once moved south in the past to be nearer to a male boyfriend but I chose to live in my own home.  You will have to make your own choices.  Best wishes =)
