so now is the point where i have to actually decide where i'm going to school next year.
right now i'm leaning toward iowa, but i don't know. i really don't. help me!

IOWA PROS
-far from home...but still close enough
-awesome honors/presidential scholars benefits
-good food (hah)
-exceptionally nice people
-seemingly small campus
MU PROS-i know ( Read more... )

what do you want to study? and then... which one has the better program for that? if you don't know that yet, and believe me I'd understand, I would say Iowa just because it sounds to me like you like it more.

you're right. actually, i had thought about going into journalism initially--and MU has the better program for that. but i am so ridiculously unsure, so i don't want to go to a school based on one program. iowa has a comparable j-school, so if i do end up doing that and going to iowa, it isn't much of a loss. but.. you're right, iowa does really appeal to me. i keep imagining myself there. thank you!

My vote goes to Iowa. I just don't really like MU that much. The campus is so huge and spread out. Plus, people are douche-bags.

wizardrock April 10 2005, 22:47:35 UTC

haha, thank you, i don't like MU for similar reasons. iowa scores one!

sarcasm_inc April 10 2005, 22:57:05 UTC

I don't know. Everyone seems to think that MU is just the best damn school in the fucking world. It's quite obnoxious. I think it smells funny as well. :)

wizardrock April 10 2005, 23:20:40 UTC

without exaggerating i could say that 25% of my class is going to MU. GAH. it IS obnoxious, because everyone i talk to here that doesn't know anything about iowa says "GO TO MU IT'S THE BEST." but everyone i talk to who knows about iowa and MU says "GO TO IOWA." hah.

and it totally does smell funny. lol.

to me, it seems like it would be an easy choice for you. i think you should go with iowa all the way. i think there would be many more opportunities and benefits for you there. i mean, money is a big issue, but i don't think you shouldn't dictate what you do in a decision like this one. what's 5000 dollars in the grand scheme of things?

and plus, yeah, mu smells. a bit like the weight lifting room. a mixture of sweaty jocks and axe.

oh, and i admire your use of tables

wizardrock April 11 2005, 00:27:27 UTC

tables are the most wonderful html invention ever.

wizardrock April 11 2005, 00:29:30 UTC

very true... there does seem to be a lot of benefits at iowa. plus, i am in proximity to the SECOND LARGEST MALL IN THE STATE. how amazing is that?!?

ummmm you should go to iowa, even though if you went to MU i'd get to see you way more. Iowa's better for you because it's a new experience and you seem to love them. MU is boring and stupid and gets way to much credit for it being such a stupid school. But when I'm 16 and can drive I'll be in Iowa every weekend. You can count on it. lol

wizardrock April 11 2005, 03:28:01 UTC

:D you're nice.
you and mom are going to be practically living with me anyway. i hope you come to see me often, though... even though i'll be a junior before you can drive!

did you steal your new icon? i know i've seen it before.

junebug185 April 12 2005, 00:37:12 UTC

i think i got it from some site....you've prolly seen it as my icon on this before. I wanted a new one but all my pictures were to big and i was being to lazy to go into that picture site and make them smaller. lol
eeks you'll be a jr alreay when i'm what a sophmore?? whoa!
