Plz no stupid comments. Only thing that is bugging me is the writing of the dissertation(i might have spelled it wrong). Am i supposed to be a writer right now, meaning should i like to right, because i don't. I do get really good grades and i can right a paper but i don't know if i could write a 200 page paper. Can any PhDs relate?

I am 21 years old and I have never attended college. I lost my job about three months ago, and have decided to go to college to become a nurse. Right now I'm living in my parents basement, they make barely enough money to support themselves, and adding me makes things even more difficult. I was wondering if anyone knew of any program or of any type of financial aid that would help me with living expenses? If anyone has any information, please let me know, thanks.

How can I learn to use big words instead of simple words for example, instead of using the word "use" in a sentence it would be much more proffesional to use the word "Utilized" which has the same meaning.

I'm planning of attending CSULA, and I've never been to that area. From what I found out from websites, it doesn't look like friendly neighborhood to live, and I'm thinking of renting an apartment. Is it safe to walk around in the evening? Any big grocery stores nearby?
If living near campus is not recommened, what's my other option besides dorms? (I won't have my car for a year or so)
Thanks

I am planning to become a dentist, vet, or optometrist (all in the medical field). My counselour said I am encouraged to take common classes/courses such as:
Anatomy and Physiology,
Computer Applications,
Intro to Health,
Intro to Business,
Accounting,
etc. because they all prepare me for these occupations in general.
I do know that these kind of occupations can be self-employed. If I want to run my own business some day (for these occupations), I should consider taking the business-type courses.
I have a question, though.
Why would I need the other skills? Please Explain...
Thank you in advance!! :)

I don't know what's going on. I know that Ph.D. history programs are competitive but am I really out of my league? I have a 3.8 from Champaign, I graduated in 3 years, I'm a James Scholar and I worked for a year as a writer for a dot com. My GRE wasn't amazing but it was pretty good (I think): Verbal 580 Quant 640 Writing 4.5. I was rejected from Champaign/UWisc/UIC/Notre Dame/University of Chicago/Northwestern and when I reapplied this year, again to Champaign (my school!). I'm starting to think I'm doing something very wrong or that my professors wrote bad recommendations. Am I really out of my league? What kind of schools should I be applying to? I'm getting really discouraged.

Is this common? I moved out last year at 20 years of age and my mom dragged me back with some schpeel about " why pay money on rent when you could be saving it up to leave the state" So i moved back in. I'm three semesters from graduation. I will be 22 when I finish and will move out of state for a masters program. I'm glad my parents still give me a roof and the opportunity to save up but I feel abnormal. I work and pay for my expenses such as food, clothes, school, and I'm out working and studying so much I'm rarely ever here but I still feel like a mooch. Anybody in this same situation? It would be nice to save up the money but it would also be nice to walk nude in my own place if you know what I mean. Should i stay one more year and be set to move securely or get a place and live my life. I think they want me to stay to be sure my future is set. My other sisters never went to school and live at home at 27. Maybe they want to ensure I wont return to burden them?

i received my acceptance packet for DePaul a few days ago and, although i'm also applying to Northwestern, i'm seriously considering going to DePaul [as a backup plan if i don't get into NU].

as a non-Catholic, i wanted to get an idea of how strict the rules are at DePaul in terms of curfews, coed dorms, ... and stuff. i currently live in Texas and i know that at HBU, students are required to take a sort of spiritual course that couples with community service or something in order to graduate. i'm wondering if DePaul is similar? [christ, i hope not.]

thanks for your help!

By college life I mean, either private school or a University like UC Davis or Berkeley. How is it different from High school? (Expectations, standards, classes, environment) especially if you live on campus or live in a dorm.
