OneDay

My parents didn't go to college, neither did my grandparents, ect, ect..but I have two cousins who did(uncle/aunts children), so am I still able to say that I am a first generation college student?

I always have said that we speak English(in the US), but I've heard some people say that we speak 'american' as if it's an entirely different language.

But basically we do speak the same language as the people in england, or AUS. We have many different words but if we went there or they came here, we could still easily communicate.

So, would it be right to say that we both speak the same language(English) just different dialects?

Well I just got my SAT scores, and got 520 in reading and 530 in math. My writing was very low at 450 but PITT doesn't look at writing.

-On college board, it says the middle 50% SAT scores for PITT were between 560-660.

My GPA for my junior year(final average) was 3.83, with my more difficult classes-physics, pre-calculus, statistics, and the other regular classes.

No after-school activities, but I do have some part-time job experience.

I'll be applying for a more regular type of major, nothing in medical, or engineering.

I just finished my junior year with a final avg. GPA of 3.86

I took my more difficult(as difficult as they get with my school) classes-two maths and physics along with other regular classes.

No after-school sports or anything, but I have a little bit of volunteer work done.

I took the SATs about two weeks ago, and am pretty sure that I got below average on them.

I'd rather not re-take the SAT's, is there still a good chance I could get into PITT?(I nobody can answer for sure but i'd like to hear what people think).

I'll be taking the SATs in a couple of weeks, and i've used two of my free copies to be sent to two different schools.

I'm a junior and will be appling to the schools for the 08-09 school year.

My question is do I need to e-mail the schools to tell them that I sent my SAT scores to them? since I won't be appling for a few more months..

I've always used cable broadband internet(comcast) so i'm kind of confused about wi-fi.

Is it true that if I get a laptop, then buy the hardware, I would have wireless internet in my house..and still pay the same monthly bill?

If yes, what do you do with the plug that goes into my computer now for the cable internet?

Also, i'll be going to college next year with a laptop..do colleges usually supply wireless internet in the dorms, or will I have to pay monthly internet bills?

I want to live in germany eventually, but don't think my german will be good enough to study there, it would be easier to study in spain, and then move to germany. But will I have troubble getting a job(ignoring the unemployment rate) with a foriegn degree..even if its within the EU?

Central Connecticut State

East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania

Programs do not matter since I only plan on attending one year then transferring, but I want to attend the better of the two. I would(well my parents would really like) like to go to East S. because I live in PA and it would be much cheaper(about half the cost). I'm pretty sure I can get accepted into either..so which one would be better?

Also, is East S. just a college town?

To be accepted(assuming you have good enough grades, ect) to a college in europe(mainly germany or austria) do you need to have one year of university completed in the US to be accepted? Or does it depend on the college?

-To be accepted as a regular student, not an exchange student.

I realize the crime is very high in SA, but if you stick to the more-tousit type areas is it safe enough to visit?

And do you think the SA government will bring down the crime rates in the future for the 2010 world cup?

Do they have any specific educational requirements? I know in the US you usually need to take a written exam and college courses, but I believe in some EU countries(UK, Spain) you don't need any requirements(besides good communication skills).

And is there a website for real estate agent requirements? I looked but couldn't find anything.

I know it will make things easier once in germany, but will it help you of being accepted for the permits?

Also, are there any sites with good information on moving to germany, from a non-EU country?

Do you think they would take a side or not be involved that much?

Considering we already have many troops in the middle east.

Like how there is sarlary.com for the US, I am looking for a site that tells you similar information for Euro. countries, is there one out there?

(Needs to be in english, or have an english version)

After college I want to live/work in europe. I was woundering if it would be better to go to a university in europe(I would be an international student) instead of home in north america? I would be looking to get a bachlor degree(I heard it takes 3 years to get one there?).

I'm an american so my native language is english, i also studied spanish for 3 years. I am thinking of moving to either denmark or norway(due to the high quality of life) after college and was woundering if it would be too difficult to learn the language?

Not just the major stories, but more about what is actually happening across europe.

That is what I should start making for my career in midtown, manhattan, i know its just an estimate(salary.com) but its all i have to go by for now until i graduate.

I won't have a car(use the subway), it will be just me(single male), and i'm thinking of brooklyn-park slope if i'll be able to afford it.
