    AtomicWoman replied to Ling07's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Just did the private loan app. thing. Took a whole 10 minutes. Just a word of advice: don't e-sign the promissory note until you know what the interest rate is! It sounds ridiculous, but they don't...

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    AtomicWoman replied to cpike's topic in General Students

    You may not get the personal attention you need in an information session; they are sometimes cattlecall-like and everyone rushes up to talk to the person they think they need to talk to. If you do...

    AtomicWoman replied to tbell2's topic in General Students

    Hah, hah! I am 51, and I can see myself doing the same thing. The older I get, the less nonsense I am willing to put up with. And having taught at a university for 4 years, I am even less willing to...
