Congrats!! Welcome to my state!! LOL.

[tigris18]

Thanks, girl! *hugs* ^_^ SWEET! What part of Indiana?

[dutchtulips]

That I'm from? Marion. It's a considerable distance away from Bloomington, I'm afraid. But nevertheless, welcome to Hoosierland! xD

[tigris18]

Hmmm...I'm not familiar with Marion. My mother probably knows - she was born and raised in Versailles. :-) She's VERY happy that I'm gonna be a Hoosier. :-P

Thanks again, dear! *hugs*

Yay celebrate! *huge hugs* Congratulations hun, you should be super proud of yourself! *jumps up and down*

[tigris18]

Thanks a bunch, sweetie! <3 Oh, I'm pretty proud of myself, yeah! I was a little nervous about not getting accepted here, especially because it's one the TOP 10 best schools in the nation, apparently. So, I'm quite ecstatic at the moment! XD

Congrats! Indiana is a VERY good school!

Simmonds is not a great school, but Boston would be fun, but this is a MUCH better choice. The cost of living should be pretty good, too, which is nice because I've often found that "gay-friendly places to live" often go hand in hand with "ridiculously expensive places to live." Seattle? Atlanta? San Diego? San Francisco? Boston? Springfield, MA? Vermont? Yeah, they can all be pricey!

And I am sorry to ask this, but what is your field, again? I mean I know it's history, but what time period. U of I is a good history school, too, is it not? It sure is for lit.

Thanks, dear! ^_^ IU also has an absolutely beautiful campus!

It was more of the thought of living in Boston that made me decide to apply to Simmons originally, but then I thought that it would be too big of a move for me. But Indiana has always been my 1# choice. :-)
Yeah, you're right about "gay-friendly" cities being pricey. I actually did some research earlier today for avaliable apartments in Bloomington and found that most of them are very reasonably priced. :-D I'm quite happy about considering how poor I am at the moment...

Oh, my major in undergrad has been history (mostly European history), but I'm going to be studying Library Science in grad school. I was told that IU has a very excellent Library and Information Graduate Program. ^_^
