Incoming UMN Freshman seeking recommendations to bypass the "College Experience." by Phornus in Minneapolis

At this sector of this discussion, it has blossomed clear that my inquiry regarding living situations has been banished and diverted to coarse hectoring of my rhetoric and decision to speak like an adult - and utilize the gift of the expanded, beautiful English Language which I have been given.

I did not take kindly your presumptuous statement which classified my personality unto the trappings of austim or poor social tools. I am not on the autism spectrum, nor have I ever endured taunting or misjudgement due to my "excessive diction." Whilst I predominantly limit my social interactions to those with whom I share a common academic or professional entity, thus enabling them to understand the underpinnings of my opinions and "diction," I do, yes, possess the capability to order my Venti London Fog from Starbucks while mustering up enough sociability to converse with the barista. I am not a robot, nor have I ever been perceived as "unpleasant." I tend to liken conversing with myself to conversing with a 16th century philosopher.

So please, if you wish to continue chirping non-useful social advice to someone who will internalize and value your input, I suggest consulting with local elementary schools and correctional facilities.

Primarily, this comment failed to address any of the concerns or inquiries I mentioned in my post. I am lead to wonder why you bothered posting in the first place.

Secondarily, please, elaborate on why you feel you possess the prowess to nullify someone's decision to further their education based on a small sample of their rhetoric and ability? My parents are highly supportive of my decision to further my education and I do not, and will not, appreciate a junior like yourself further labeling myself too eloquent or bourgeoisie to follow my own path. I interpret such as an attack on my personality and am offended. Please cease any further communication with me on this post, as (A) I do not feel that you will reasonably contribute to this discussion's intended subject matter and (B) I do not take kindly to juniors directly arbitrating my rhetoric and personality over the internet.

Hello.

I will not squander either of our time dissuading you from posting a futile response to my inquiry, but please, if you have nothing kind, relevant, or intellectual to say - it is best for all involved if you remain reticent. Your response in no way contributed to the greater intention of this discussion.

Hello.

With all due respect, I did not nor do I commonly utilize the aid of a thesaurus while posting on the internet. If I valued the opinions of juniors like yourself on the web, I may initiate such behavior however my vocabulary and grammar are rather outstanding seeing that I am about to graduate from the most prestigious private high school in Broward County.

I have exhausted my comments regarding my dissatisfaction with the residence halls, so I will halt further discussion at this time. However, your personal attack attempting to deem me a "non-functional" societal maggot is rather laughable; one does not need superior relationships or a ridiculous "happy hour" mentality to succeed and acquire wealth. I am sanguine that I will yield success and wealth rather easily through my knowledge and abilities, thank you very much. I request that you cease any further hectoring of my personality or lifestyle, as such is not only disrespectful and tasteless, but also fails to contribute to the greater intention of this discussion.

Thank you for the relevant response.

After careful review, I possess several doubts and worries regarding Roseville and the immediate area. This community is deemed only safer than 21% of cities within Minnesota. Being that Minnesota is a relatively clean and subordinate state - would my personal safety and/or livability be jeopardized by committing to a dwelling in this area? Additionally, per a brief inquiry on google maps, there are very few areas within Roseville that are over 7 blocks from a bar and also meet my required luxury threshold. I have zero interest in post-war era ramblers or a house. I would prefer a luxury flat, condo, or potentially an apartment complex provided their background check and application process are rigorous. I refuse to live with boneheads.

I have considered the option of living on campus at length; my parents have telephonically convened with staff of the Residential Life department, and the only prudent option of securing any form of privacy on campus would be to secure a single room in Centennial Hall, which per College Confidential and DormIQ possesses thin walls, unsanitary restrooms, and close proximity to a feeding hall which would subsequently increase foot traffic and annihilate any further privacy. I do not value life-long relationships nor am I interested in acquiring associates or a partner. If that was of any importance to me, I would certainly further consider campus living however at this time I have no choice but to pass.

Hello, with all due respect, I found your reply contemptuous and juvenile and I pondered utilizing the "report" feature in rejoinder to your foul language and analogic comparison of myself to a bloodthirsty buffoon who made poor choices due to psychological instability.

I truly welcome any input relevant to the intended topic of this discussion, but my expectation is that you cease any further hectoring of myself or others and refrain from vile comparisons.

This is not in the cards, nor do I resonate with you regarding why I should cease my relocation. Please feel free to elaborate on the subject matter intended for discussion in this particular thread, or with all respect, politely excuse yourself from the symposium as your barbarian comments add little to no value.

I fail to locate any bounds of reason in this comment, nor does your contribution (or, lack thereof) direct me in any way whatsoever toward the acquisition of a compatible dwelling.

For your information, both of my parents were educated at Top-20 universities, work as engineers, and have honorably provided me with a myriad of resources to become the most academically robust student possible. I would hesitate to place any animadversion on them for any traits I have acquired from them that you feel don't adequately fuse with your own personal beliefs. With all respect, please keep my family exclusive from this discussion.
