Haha sorry! I just realized i made some serious typos in my previous post. Typing on my ipad with my index fingers gets me carried away. But yeah! I'll pronanly be at USF visiting :) have fun again!
Ileese replied to Giant Panda's topic in California
Oh man! I definitely think your shadowing will be more beneficial to you than our asvp!! The program was more geared towards incoming freshmens. I enjoyed it just as much with my parents, but it wasnt until i got to do the transfer program session an...

Hey Tucay- how'd you like USF today? There were many admitted students at the nursing program advising session. Haha i wonder if we bumped into each other without knowing. Too many people! I hope you enjoyed it. It is a lovely campus! Only thing i ne...

Tucay:Really? Isnt that a bit soon, especially for students like you that still aren't sure whether or not they'll be attending? And the emaili got a few days ago say 8am - 1:30pm instead of 9am lols. So early.
Ileese replied to Giant Panda's topic in California
Ok.Haha im curious too! Winder what classes we'll be taking.... I spent 3 years taking pre-reqs and ges, but i guess none of that matters to USF unless its from USF haha. We can find out on admitted students visit day! Im attending next Saturdays! Ar...

She just heard from friends that its not a very good school for the kind of ' reputation' it has and for the large sum of tuituion they charge students. Its no Ivy league and does not have good standings. It seems some review sites have quite the ext...

Lol are you from SoCal? Sorry I don't remember if you said you were. I'm from San Jose, Bay area so USF is a nice area not too far, close enough to go home place. - not to discourage you from going to WCU, but my friend who's also a nursing student t...

LOL well my sisters attending UC Davis, so it's still a hefty price now with two college kids Lol. Not 'ballin'. I plan to pay my mom back haha. I'm not worried about my future so much after being a nurse. Gotta think about the good and not the bad! ...
Ileese replied to Giant Panda's topic in California
Ahh cool! I'll be there with my mom haha. Wait so does that mean you're attending USF for sure? Since you submitted your housing already right? I thought WCU is pretty expensive too? But yeah 18months beats 3.5yrs -__- I'm not worried because I cknow...
Ileese replied to Giant Panda's topic in California
Ohhh haha. Well that's cool because the freshmen dorms are in the lower campus, which is where most of the a acitivities are right? I'll have to hike up and down the Lone mountain hahaa. Oh well! The housing person didn't tell me what classes transfe...
Ileese replied to Giant Panda's topic in California
Hey TucayMarissa,Yeah. I considered the other alternatives, but since im going t be new to the SF area ( as a resident), I want to be on campus ( safe and close) and not have to worry about catching muni and such. I'll probably consider the alternati...

@lyricalI thought the counselor, ---- sent it because I asked, but it was actually just a coincidence! Because after I emailed him, and after I received the congrats email with the PDF ' welcome packet', he sent another email asking me if I got it!
Ileese replied to Giant Panda's topic in California
@Giant Panda ( cute name btw )I hope you hear good news soon! I'm from the Bay, so maybe by the end of this week you'll hear! They don't send the packets out for us I believe because the counselor attached the packet as a PDF in our 'official accepta...
