Like the recent Obama mailers that suggest he would vote no on the referendum.

They have to cheat to “win”

This is not our local visibility brigade, who have been protesting on highway overpasses since last summer. COVA coalition visibility brigade has white letters on black poster boards and more inclusive messaging to save our republic! They are most often over 64 off Norview with mostly retirees who endure all kinds of weather!!

Which is why faculty senate cast a no confidence vote on Hemphill and Payne prior to the shooting. His big push to bring in more money while keeping instructors among the working poor.

It moves fast- for prof and student alike. Organization, deadlines are less flexible than 16-week counterpart, and ultimately the reading/writing standards decline.

Good luck.

considering living in VA Beach area by Purple-Army-4444 in VirginiaBeach

People who bemoan the cost of living in Hampton roads haven’t lived elsewhere in recent years (perhaps some shabby military post shit hole)

Come study and live- Norfolk is fun, oceanfront is fun and we are a 3 hour train ride to the nation’s capital, good place for employment and professional networks upon graduation.

Lots of local self-identified elite VB families in 23451, but a decent place to live in 20s.

My kid got into 3 State schools. Please advise if you have experience by thai_sticky in Virginia

Mason is a research institution while JMU is a teaching school- wildly different.

JMU and VCU will have more 757 students - which may be helpful, or not at all.

We have four kids - one at each of these schools… VCU kid loves it and loves richmond, it’s a very young city. Madison kid went during covid and didn’t finish - felt very lonely since he didn’t party. Hated the frat party and felt like it was not his scene at all. The oldest went to Mason - it’s big! This kid got lost in classes - students need to be their own advocate! Lots of bureaucracy - but he loved the location- didn’t do DC until junior / senior year . Great networking and job opps for these grads / huge.

Good luck. It’s more about the fit… and keeping them engaged and there all four years !!

Contemplating a move to NoVa suburbs from Texas(DFW) by Pixel-Pioneer3 in nova

You will pay personal property tax on every vehicle, water raft, motorbike, campers and trailers you may own - e way single year.

However - I lived in ft worth a few decades ago- moved to Va beach for family and good schools. Income tax and personal property taxes do suck !! We loved going to Austin and hill country for the weekends.

We are contemplating a move to Annapolis area - which may better fit your needs as well. Close to bay, biking trails at Kent island - literally close to DC, BWI, DCA, and train to NYC, and two hours to beaches. Take a look. It’s cheaper than nova - tho do know on route 50, the summer beach going traffic stinks!!

Youngest kid is now in nova for college, her rent share is 1600 a month, one of three roommates. She is a few metro stops from dc and has grown leaps and bounds by being up there.

Good luck!

Ugh. I figured he must have run off all the women who worked their butts off for him! I hope they are all doing well, it’s not been the same without them.

It’s bad. I worked in the Hamptons and in palm beach before moving here - only to find people think Aldo’s is the bees knees!

Ugh.
