How’s this for a college plan?
I was trying to figure out a basic outline for my college education and I’d like some input from people who have already had the whole college experience.
First of all, I want to start out completing my general education credits at Northwest Visa, a local community college in San Antonio. Live at home so I can save up some money for what I have planned next.
Next I want to move to California — where I’m originally from — and just sit tight and work for a year to establish residency. Once I have my residency I want to transfer my credits over to UC Riverside and major in biological sciences.
Once I graduate from UCR, I want to apply to UC San Francisco Medical School to complete university education for my career as a doctor. I figure I’ll deal with internship and residency when I come to it; for now I’m just thinking college.
So, to those of you who have had the college experience, if you wouldn’t mind providing some feedback, I’d really appreciate it.
this sounds like a good plan; however, a red flag goes up when you say that you will work for a year to establish residency. here’s why: you didnt say what type of support you have in CA. if you will be there basically alone, you will have moved to a new state and you will have to find a place to stay. jobs arent that easy to come by these days, and im not sure how much that is going to change by the time you get to that point. so it will hard to support yourself and take care of all of the expenses of living. so if you dont get a decent job, then it will be hard to find a place to live. and if you do find a job and a place to live, then you may realize that things are just too expensive (especially out in CA) to only work part-time, so where is school going to fit in? If you are able to fit school in, it will be hard to finacially support yourself, living expenses, and full-time school at the same time. And there is so much more that could happen.
Basically, life gets in the way sometimes. And why take detours when you dont have to? So, even though your plan sounds good, I dont think its a good idea to move to a new state and take a year off. If you want to move to CA, thats great, but make sure that you are moving straight into the college dorms so that you dont have to worry about all the stressful “tryna-make-a-living” stuff. You can get grants, financial aid, loans, scholorships, etc for school; but you dont get any of that when you are on your own and rent is due.

Color: Latino Voices in the Pacific Northwest $159.58 Color presents a tapestry of poignant conversations with people who have come from various Central and South American cultures and backgrounds, all with the common thread of speaking the Spanish language. Their professions range from attorney to school bus driver. Some embrace the new culture of the United States; others merely tolerate it. Author Lorane West based her writing on exchanges she witnessed as a certified home health care worker and medical interpreter, and through her work at the Northwest Immigrants Rights Project. Her narratives give voice to hopes, dreams, and life experiences–from the ordinary to the overwhelmingly difficult. In Color, a young man who wants to be an auto mechanic cannot understand why he is required to take Psychology 101 at the local community college. Tell me they’re not doing it just to cheat the students out of even more money. A mother tells how as a little girl, she swept a dirt floor, cooked over a wood fire, and washed clothes in a muddy river. Nothing was ever truly clean. It was endless and sad. Can you imagine being here, in a nice apartment, how fun it is for me to keep house.? A man is unable to comprehend the poor work ethic of his fellow employees. Minimum wage is more per hour than I would make at home by a long shot. So I work as hard as I can…but my citizen coworkers are always complaining. They even tell me not to work so hard because I make them look bad! A father speaks of the intense hunger he experienced as a child and then recalls, The first time my son said, ‘I don’t like this food, ‘ I burst out crying. My wife thought I was upset at his bad manners, but I was just so glad my son had the luxury of not likingfood…that my children have never known hunger. Whether about love, work, play, finances, or family, these accounts illuminate cultural differences in attitudes, rights, and values and pose intriguing questions about the effects of prosperity. West paints a very real picture of life for immi |

The Alpine Pursuit $5.1 As her myriad of fans can attest, USA Today bestselling author Mary Daheim creates wonderful mysteries peopled with marvelous characters as quirky as they are endearing. The Seattle Times says Daheim is one of the brightest stars in our city’s literary constellation –and the popularity of her irresistible Pacific Northwest crime series has swept across the nation. Now the unfaltering Emma Lord is back in her highly anticipated hardcover debut. For a small town newspaper like The Alpine Advocate, a new play at the local community college is big news. Editor and publisher Emma Lord is duty-bound to attend opening night, but expects the amateur enterprise will serve only as a cure for insomnia. The play is dubbed a black comedy, but the only laughs Emma gets are from the bad acting and the wretched script. And while the turgid production makes Wagner’s Ring cycle seem like a vignette, the real drama begins just before the final curtain. Hans Berenger, dean of students, wasn’t well known or well liked around Alpine, but the audience found his death scene genuinely convincing–until they realized he wasn’t acting. No one can say how or when the blanks in the prop gun were replaced with the real bullets that killed Berenger, but the list of suspects reads like a playbill of the cast and crew. They all had opportunity, access, and their own axes to grind with the thespically challenged dean. Seeking the assistance of Vida Runkel, the Advocate’s redoubtable House and Home editor, Emma Lord vows to unravel a mystery that spirals out into unexpected places. As Emma sets the stage for the most likely suspect, she finds herself in a two-character scene whose next cue couldmake the resolute editor take a final–and permanent–bow. |
