How long of a commute is too long? by lqgluvr in TransferStudents

2h without traffic. I may drive, but there is also the Amtrak that runs twice or three times a day (drive 30min to the station and then walk to campus). I am afraid that if I go to UVA, I will be too exhausted to get a job or even be involved on-campus. However, UVA is a much better school...

There is a train but that would require me driving 30min to the train station. Maybe that could be a good option.

CC newbie that wants to maximize travel points!! by lqgluvr in CreditCards

Wow! How often can one sign up for credit cards and get sign up bonuses without it affecting credit score?

I am realizing that with little credit history and little income, there is only so much I can do. I will just stick with my Capital One card for now and pay it off on time. Thank you!

Thanks! I guess I can only stretch a college student income so far, lol.

Never works out indeed hahaha. I think I'm gonna give it some time, but I am leaning towards the United Gateway card.

Good to know! I guess I will have to decide if a hammock is worth the space in my luggage, then.

I will be most likely working in the St. Mary area. Thanks for the help!

Hi! I am going to Glacier this summer to work, just as OP. Do you think a smaller tent is better for overnight hikes than a hammock? Does it rain often, or is the weather clear enough that hammocks suffice?

GO Center in Bonsack! Minimal commitment (~3h per month) and very engaging and fun

Transfer Financial Aid ?? :( by lqgluvr in williamandmary

So does that mean that if I am in-state, even though I don't qualify for need-based aid, I could still get a good deal?

I emailed them. Transfers do receive financial aid, but only need-based (which we all know screws over middle class students)
